While searching for the latest Sansa news, I found another review of the Sansa Clip by a Jewish newspaper called the Haaretz. It is a short and sweet review that outlines all the basics, giving it an over all score of 7.9. Check it out:
The first recommendation for Sansa Clip users is to replace the included earphones with decent ones. Roi Gordon, of WiseBuy, says that the fact that the listening experience is far more enjoyable with better earphones is no small matter for a player from the makers of Sandisk, which is known for its mediocre sound quality. Convenience: Tiny. Attaches to a lapel with a clip or slips into any pocket; is easily operated using sensitive, lit buttons. The one-inch screen provides a clear display, even in daylight. Despite the comfortable navigation of this device, transferring music from a computer to the player is a bit awkward. You cannot, for example, transfer files when the player is recognized as an external drive, but rather only by switching it to MTP status (via a software program) and synchronizing it using Windows Media Player version 10 or higher. At least you can delete songs directly from the player, a function that did not exist in previous Sansa models. Another nice feature is the ability to download an update that facilitates clear display in Hebrew. This player also has a microphone, but reasonable recording is possible only up close to the source.
Battery: Promises 15 hours of continuous play, but operated for only 14 hours.
Pro: Small and light, easy to operate, better sound quality than previous Sandisk players.
Con: Poor quality earphones; playlist transfer via Windows Media Player only. Price: NIS 200 for 2Gb.
Score: 7.9
