Sansa Clip+ v/s Clip Zip, or......?!

[TheSeeker]

Hello,

i have a barely used ipod nano 7th gen with me, but i want to go back to a PMP having physical buttons, as they let me change tracks, etc. without looking at the player, just pressing through my pocket or shirt, a major relief when cycling, trekking, etc.

now i already own a clip+, but its display & battery dont work after it got thoroughly drenched in rain/waterfall or something during a trek. planning to sell off the ipod & get another clip+ or clip zip. not considering sport clip as it doesnt have rockbox, nor fuze+ as its SQ is said to be slightly inferior than that of clip+. only obstacle now is clip zip. pls suggest one out of the two. i'll be buying off the forums only (last purchase too was from the forum).

or if there's any other better option, then pls LMK.

TIA!

I am using clip+ for last 7 years and it still works fine. I only had to get the battery replaced once..got it done locally.

But the Clip Zip display failed in just 2 years, so I feel it was a waste of money!

Nowadays you get good quality Chinese players. I suggest you try them.

Why not give Fiio X1 gen 2 or Cayin N3 a shot. BTW, whats your budget?
