Some have said that without using the equilizer, the Clip Sport sounds a bit better than the Clip+ using the original firmware. I don't hear any sound quality differences between the Sandisk Clip Sport and my Rockboxed Clip+ and Rockboxed Clip Zip, when the equilizer is not used. Or if you were a headfier you'd want to go backwards in terms of SQ. " Which if you already have (and we do) there doesn't seem any point in buying a Jam.Sport. "No I meant cost saving over the clip and zip. Based on what I have read on the net though, it seems the Shuffle and Nano sound quality are around on par with the Clip+, Clip Zip, Clip Sport, and Clip Jam. I haven't heard any Apple players, so I can't comment on their sound quality from personal experience. Using 256kbps mp3 files, these sound great. I have the Clip Sport, Clip+, and Clip Zip. A few people have reported that class 10 cards work fine in a Clip+ or Clip Zip when used with Rockbox.ĭoes the Shuffle sound better than the Jam? I doubt it. I only use class 4 cards with my Sandisk players. With the original firmware, Sandisk players often have trouble with cards faster than class 4. I want the extra battery life, but not if it means having a lower capacity player, and not having Rockbox.

My advice is to get the Clip+ or Clip Zip and Rockbox it, unless the extra battery life of the Clip Sport is very important to you. I also have Rockboxed Clip+, and Rockbox Clip Zip players. The card memory is in a separate database from the main memory. Both players are limited to 2,000 songs internal memory, and 2,000 songs card memory. The Clip Jam is very similar to the Clip Sport except that the Jam has a smaller battery(18 hours vs 25 hours of battery life) and the Jam has a smaller display which can't show album art, while the Sport can show album art. I have the Clip Sport which is built on the same platform as the Clip Jam.
