Onceuponatime Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 My husband is a runner and he wants one of these for Christmas so he can listen to music while he runs. We are not technologically savvy. I've looked at reviews on amazon til my head hurts. The thing needs to be under $50. It must be able to take sweat. It must be easy to figure out. The Sansa Clip+ seems to have been purchased the most for this purpose, but it also has quite a few complaints about devices that broke or don't work right. I don't want to waste my money. I don't have money to waste. I'm really nervous about buying something that seems to be so problematic, no matter what the brand. Do you have any suggestions or recommendations for a good, reliable, reasonably priced, mp3 player? Please help. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingnlearning Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) Our family has four RCA MP3's... I had a Sansa and it broke! LOL We have a Pearl and I forget what the others are... none cost more than $40. The cheapest on which I think was the Pearl was about $25 and I've taken it on camping trips and to the gym and road trips and everywhere and it is a champ. Never breaks, easy on the single AAA battery, and despite a slightly clunky operation methods it's been worth every penny I spent on it. It's the size of a thumb drive. I've had it for two years-never a problem. I think there's a website, anythingbutipod? that reviews other MP3's...

vettechmomof2 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 We have 3 Sansa's. They all work great and we have had no problems with them. I run with mine on the treadmill but not outside at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
