People saying perspiration even stops them from working and they won't repair them. Not worth the money, it won't last. SanDisk support is a joke.Engadget Reader100September 3, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!A gadget unicorn - EngadgetEngadget Reader90July 25, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!I saw a lot of fake, dishonest reviews while researching this thing before buying it, so here's my honest review. You can read, whatever: In the box, you'll get cheap headphones, a TINY USB cord, a tiny manual, and the MP3 player. The player is about 2.5 inches diagonally (very tiny). On the left, USB port and volume rocker. Right, MicroSD Card slot, headphone jack. Back, a clip to clip onto your shirt or whatever. The screen is 3/4 of the player's size. The first thing you'll notice is that the screen's a fingerprint magnet. Kind of annoying, but you'll be listening to music half of the time, so it's a small problem. The manual is very small and not very informative, but you can download the Sansa updater online and you'll receive a PDF version of the full one. I was confused about that at first. The player came with a lot of junk (which I didn't appreciate). To transfer music, you basically plug it into the computer and drag music onto it in Computer, like an external flash drive. The lack of software to do that is an inconvenience, but it works. You have to use Windows Media Player to make playlists. One thing I didn't like was how TINY the USB is. It's like 3 inches in diameter. My MP3 player hangs off of it every time I plug it in. Disappointing. OK, enough with this stuff, let's get to the player itself. You have settings, Music, Radio, a stopwatch/timer thing, Card to access a MicroSD card, Folder to view the contents of the internal memory/external memory of the player, and Books to listen to audiobooks or podcasts. You have a LOT of stuff in settings (which I'm not going to bother to explain) but there is some stuff like screen brightness, automatic power off, equalizer settings, format, blah blah blah. Stuff like that. OK, Music is pretty straightforward. It gives you a menu of Albums, Songs, Playlists, etc. Choose one to navigate through select songs. The cool thing about this player is that a button will give you several options including detailed song information and delete. I haven't encountered any copy protection on this MP3 player which is nice. The radio is a...radio. Now, here's my advice. GET a BIGGER and better pair of headphones if you're using this. The radio is fine. It actually uses your headphones as antennas, and in my experience, small headphones (such as the included earbuds) gave worse reception than large ones. I'm not sure if this is the case of all small headphones. With the cheap headphones, every slight movement caused static. However, you can receive crystal clear sound while moving about with better headphones. Stopwatch and timer is basic. You can record a log of your times if you want for some reason. If you have a MicroSD card plugged in, you can access it from Card. You can confusingly only access it from there, as music on the MicroSD card WILL NOT transfer into Music. Folder is basically the Finder or Windows Explorer of the MP3 player. You can view the files on the MP3 player with it. If you dropped audiobooks or podcasts onto the MP3 player, listen to them in Books. OK, now to the screen. The screen is VERY basic. It's like a screen of a very inexpensive phone. Cover art of music won't be clear on it, but you can tell what it is and you can also read text. Don't expect much from there. Charging doesn't take long. My opinion is buy this. It surpasses iPod shuffles or Nanos and is a quarter of the price. Definitely worth it. I encounted no problems with this MP3 Player.Kyle70June 10, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!Its a good device for the price. If you throw in a 64gb SD card you get a huge MP3 player at a very low price. The addition of the radio is nice.My biggest problem with it is there is no keylock. For something branded sport running with it, accidentally touching it or bumping it can screw up whatever song you were listening to.Songs on the SD card are kept separate from songs on the internal memory forcing me to basicly ignore the internal memory. If I select songs on the SD card and select shuffle all it tells me there are no songs on the SD card .Even though a list of songs on the SD card can be seen on the same screen. When they are selected they play fine.Engadget Reader100February 12, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!i like my new clip sports, nothing radical about it , just easy and fun to use, does not eat up my galaxy phone battery, design looks good, battery life is very good and cost is easy on the wallet, i like it very much so far, Andy dave
