Fried my Rockboxed Sansa Clip+ in the rain. Need replacement.

[John]

Folks,

Sorry to report that I have fried my Rockboxed Sansa Clip+ while running in the rain. It has taken abuse of many years, including falling into a bucket of water once, and many runs in the rain. But it is now gone.

I am looking for a cheap replacement for it. The priorities are:

1) Ultra small size (like the Clip+).
2) Some water resistance required. As I often have to go running in the rain and it rains a lot here! (However, considering my low budget, I am ready to for go using it in the rain)
3) Cheap ( I am thinking 1.5K)
4) This is to be used with my Sennheiser PMX80 II water-resistant earphones. I would like to continue using these as they are well suited for road running, as they permit you to hear your surroundings as well.

Thanks in advance guys.

Cheers!

I would say buy another Sansa Clip+ or a Clip Zip since it's hard to beat them at their price points with any other products IMHO. But at 1.5k I would say have a look at the Transcend MP330. However, it has a 8GB variant and won't play FLAC's.

For this budget you are not going to get any better PMP. Why not use your existing mobile until you decide for a decent budget.

invest in a water proof running pouch belt. Runningandliving.com offers a belt and I am using it for many years. This way you can use your mobile also while running.

Thanks guys. I finally invested in the more expensive Sony W273. I got a used one though from a friend who bought it and only used it a couple of times.
