SanDisk Clip Sport Plus Wearable MP3 Player - Red

I have decided to edit my review and increase the star rating. As mentioned earlier, this works very well with Audible. I initially tried it with a 64GB SD card sandisk which did not work for me and a message came back "refreshing your media" then "Disk Error! Please re-plug SD card" which I tried numerous times (and it works elsewhere so it was not the card). SanDisk got back to me in the promised two working days and said the maximum micro SD card that may be used with the device is 32GB. I have now put my music on a 32GB micro SD and it works perfectly and catalogues the music too and brings up the artwork. It also works well with bbc iplayer podcasts downloaded to it. I find with my in the house over the ear headphones the radio is excellent and the sound superb, however the in-ear phones are not quite so good with radio reception, but adequate when out walking the dogs. For the price it is excellent. It is extremely light and portable with a long battery life. I have an ipod touch which is good, but this is superior as an personal audio device as it has a radio, accepts Audible downloads and has the potential for more storage for all my music (which was a serious limitation with my 8GB ipod touch) so I have increased the rating on this to 5 stars.

UPDATE 4 July 2020: In my initial review posted below, I was having nothing but trouble with my original MP3 player I purchased. I sent it back and requested a replacement. 6 months on with the replacement, it is working flawlessly - No problems whatsoever! Bluetooth works perfectly every time, the clip on the back hasn't broken and the device is easy to use. I'm very happy with my replacement - it's changed my opinion of this device 180! ------------ Original Review 20th January 2020 ------------ As a veteran of Sandisks MP3 Players, I've previously owned the Clip Jam and Clip Sport and they were both very sturdy and very good players and lasted many, many years before being replaced. Sadly the newest generation, the Clip Sport Plus falls far short of my expectations. Start with the plus side first: - Standard Clip Sport look-and-feel to it and colourful. - Lightweight, small and unobtrusive. - Waterproof, rugged and shockproof. Great for sports and outdoor activities. - Choice of Bluetooth or 3.5mm jack for listening with. - Easy to transfer MP3 files from PC to MP3 player. Just navigate with Explorer and you're done. No special software needed here! Cons: - Marginally larger/ chunkier than the former Clip Sport. I recon this is due to it now being waterproof and more rugged for outdoor use. The connection ports have little covers to protect them from the elements. - Bluetooth! Bluetooth worked well the first few weeks, pairing to my earphones, car, phone flawlessly. Then suddenly it didn't want to know. Didn't want to connect. Tried resetting it, restart, updating firmware etc but to no avail. - The Clip on the back broke in the first week. My former Sandisk Sport and Jam both had clips, and both worked perfectly up until the end of their life and they were used on a very regular basis. - Buttons are harder to press. Recon this is due to the ruggedness and waterproof-ness of this new MP3 player. - Volume Restrictions. A lot of reviews complain about low volume. You can easily bypass this when you initially select your Region during setup. **DO NOT SELECT EUROPE!** Choose a different continent and you'll get full volume. The volume restriction is down to EU regulations, not SanDisk. In summary, I'm genuinely disappointed with Sandisks latest offering of their Clip Sport Mp3 player. Initially it's a great little thing, but the BT stopped working which was the reason I bought this MP3 player in the first place, so I could play my music through my wireless earbuds. Only after a mere 3 weeks, I've returned the MP3 player to Amazon for a replacement, and *touchwood* this new one might work better than the last one this time round. I'm willing to give Sandisk the benefit of the doubt but if this one also fails to work properly, it too will also go back for a refund and get a different brand of MP3 player all together. Time will tell. 5/10

I'll try to write this review as one parent to another.... I was a little sceptical buying this player for my 9-year old son with his birthday money as I had been burned by so many other sub-£50 devices. As it turned out I was pleasantly surprised to find that not only was this player simple to use but the sound quality was clear and the battery life phenomenal. To date we have charged this player just once (my son listens to it most nights for stories using a pair of speakers) It also has a sleep setting which he have set at 30 minutes so it shuts down automatically. I was also pleased that the charging port is the same as android phones (Micro USB) which saves having to keep track of a specific cable. Another good feature is you can play by folder. This means so long as your audio book files are sequentially named it will play them in order - A huge plus over players that can only play by album or artist and then miss files out if album data is missing from them. I was also pleased with the file transfer rate from my laptop. With previous players it has taken upwards of an hour to transfer around 6GB of music. With this player it was done in just over 10 minutes (although this seems to vary depending on cable quality and whatever dark arts Windows 10 is doing at the time) Another plus is the colour - being orange it is easy to spot when it falls down the back of his bed. another Plus is it is fairly rugged. I've accidentally stepped on it twice and it hasn't broken (which is more than can be said of my phone!). so all in all an excellent little player.

very good, however the clip broke and it's not possible to repair. kinda defeats the purpose as cannot be worn. the screen is hard to see, it doesnt light up enough. the navigation is not very intuitive and hard to switch songs / albums if you are running. i think it is somewhat practicle and cheap but not outstanding in any good way.

Pretty good for an MP3 player.

Leggero e semplice da utilizzare. L'audio tramite delle cuffie Sony è eccezionale. La batteria dura proprio tanto. Unico neo forse il display piccolo ma non è indispensabile visto che ci si ascolta musica e non si guardano films.

Good one used in jogging and motorcycle driving...

Wir haben einen einfachen mp3-Player für unsere Kinder gesucht und wollten nicht zu viel Geld (z.B. für einen IPod) ausgeben. Und wir sind super zufrieden mit dem Clip Jam! Der Clip Jam ist nun seit über einem halben Jahr in täglichem Gebrauch. Das kleine Gerät ist erstaunlich robust. Oft laufen die Kinder mit Kopfhöhrer und dem ClipJam durch die Wohnung - das Gerät baumelt dabei runter, schleift auf dem Boden, wird am Lautsprecherkabel im Kreis gewirbelt... bisher ohne jeden Schaden. Mein Sohn und Tochter (6 und 8) konnten ihre Geräte auch sofort intuitiv bedienen. Einmal erklärt - fertig. Das "befüllen" hat über iTunes drag'n drop schnell und einfach funktioniert. Die Kinder hören dabei alles von Musik bis Hörspiele (zu Audible-Hörbüchern kann ich allerdings nicht sagen). Oft wird in den Rezensionen bemängelt, dass das Gerät zu leise ist. Ja, das fanden wir am Anfang auch - ABER: mit einem sehr einfach Trick geht es deutlich lauter: über Einstellungen auf Werkseinstellungen zurücksetzen; dann unter Einstellungen als Region "Rest der Welt" wählen und unter Lautstärke "hoch" wählen. Dieses Vorgehen ist auch auf den Herstellerseiten zu finden. Dann hat das kleine Gerät ausreichend Power.

Un lecteur pour ceux qui ne cherche pas absolument les dernières technologie (tactile ou non) hors de prix. Interface simple d'utilisation.Qualité de son correcte.Il est Compacte et est muni d'un clip pour pouvoir l'accrocher n'importe ou. Bonne autonomie.Je m'en sert aussi bien pour le sport que pour le quotidien. L'option veille et très pratique lorsque qu'on à l'habitude de dormir en musique.
