Review on SanDisk 16GB Clip Sport Plus MP3 Player Red - Bluetooth, LCD Screen, FM Radio - SDMX28-016G-G46R: The Ultimate Music Companion by Kim Eunu ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

So-so quality, price doesn't match quality.

Surprisingly, the 2022 player is not able to play tracks without gaps. Neither in a row, nor in the repeat mode of one track. Players of fifteen years ago - coped, players of phones - cope, the player of the twenty-first century - stutters when changing tracks. When playing and pausing, for some reason, a fade occurs. All such husks, if any, should be tuned and turned off, here - what they gave, that's what you rejoice at. ating the firmware to the latest version did not help. The gloomy Chinese genius decided that the player absolutely needed the function of reading books. With the output of text on a four-line display, with word breaks in the absence of normal hyphenation, huge indents and other joys. The main function - playing music - the player does not really perform, but there is a "reader". In light of this, it is completely unclear why the player does not have a built-in corkscrew, drill, refrigerator and TV. Technical support is absolutely inadequate: you ask the question “is it possible to fix the problem at the firmware level?”, You get the answer “you can ate the firmware yourself”. It seems that the Chinese are answering using machine translation. Returned the player to the store. I'd rather take something three times more expensive, but coping with elementary playback tasks.

Pros
  • Small size and weight. Convenient fastening-clothespin.
Cons
  • The design is not very well thought out, it is difficult to use blindly. The "menu" and "back" buttons are located on the corners and are constantly pressed arbitrarily. The developer prepared a crutch for this case - a separate button blocking switch. The display is poor, the font is terrible. Soft-touch coating is pleasant to the touch, but instantly covered with fingerprints. I know from experience that such a coating peels off, leaving bald spots of plastic, in a matter of days. The menu is inconvenient, a number of items, such as repeat, appear only in playback mode. I didn’t understand why there are two items in the menu “Music” and “Playback”, which are responsible for the same thing. It's also not clear from the instructions. To ate the firmware, you need to install a terrible kind of software. Developers wake up! Today, even soldering irons are ated by simply drag & drop the firmware file to a virtual disk, and refrigerators and vacuum cleaners, if necessary, go to the Internet for firmware on their own. The latest firmware is February 2022. Indeed, is it possible to improve the "ideal". Even the instruction in PDF is not text, but images - you can’t find anything with a search, just scroll through and look for it with your eyes.

For its price, a normal player. Minimum options. Compact, does not take up space. Very convenient clip.

Has some pros Nice appearance, easy to operate, good price. Ability to install a memory card. Has cons: It is a pity that there is no adapter for charging from the network, but this is solvable.

As a small child, I play with the player all day.
