Sandisk Sansa Clip 2GB

Not my hand.

Bought this refurbished off woot! for $12.99 plus $5 shipping. I’ve been looking around for a Clip for quite some time, ever since reading rave reviews on both CNET and anythingbutipod.

Awesome sound quality, very portable, simple user interface, this MP3 player is great all-around. Add in the FM radio, voice recorder, and clip, and the Clip suddenly becomes a must-have for classroom lectures and exercising.

In fact, this would be the ideal workout music player. Quickly load up 20 of your favorite albums and take this on a jog. The best part is that since it’s so cheap, you don’t have to worry as much about losing it, compared to, say, a $200 iPod.

Paired with the Klipsch S4 headphones, the Clip sounds terrific, a bit heavy on the bass, but easily adjusted to your preferences on the custom EQ setting. The bright but small screen displays basic song/artist info and has a nice blue lettering.

All in all, I would definitely recommend this MP3 player as a cheaper alternative to a Shuffle or Nano. Its small size makes it the ideal workout music player, and the superb sound quality and ease of use make music listening an enjoyable experience.
