![]() During testing, I was able to play music for 9 hours and 40 minutes straight on a pair of wired earbuds, but I didn’t let the device go into sleep mode at all during that time, and I frequently cycled through the menu options. The battery lasts for 20 hours on a single charge, but factors like Bluetooth usage and radio use can affect the battery’s performance.

The Bluetooth range, though not published anywhere in the spec sheet, appears to be about 10-12 feet. The Bluetooth connection is spotty, and it went in and out even when I had the player clipped to my clothing and my Bluetooth earbuds in my ears. The player has Bluetooth, but only a transmitter and not a receiver, so you can connect a pair of wireless earbuds or a Bluetooth speaker, but you can’t connect to a phone or PC via Bluetooth.

The IPX5 rating means it can withstand low-pressure water jets. The SanDisk Sport Plus has an IPX5 water resistance rating, and you won’t damage the MP3 player with a little sweat or rain. The clip grabs on tightly to clothing, so it doesn’t fall off while you’re on your daily run. The featherweight music player has a clip-a must-have for anyone who wants to use their MP3 player on the go. It’s a tiny MP3 player, only measuring 2.6 inches tall by 1.75 inches wide. Sport Plus is clearly targeted towards active users who enjoy jogging, hiking, biking, and other outdoor activities. ![]() I put down my phone and tested the SanDisk Clip Sport Plus MP3 Player for a week to see if its design, performance, and sound quality make it a worthy contender among its competitors.ĭesign: Water resistant, but no microSD slot For joggers and gym-goers, the SanDisk Sport Plus is supposed to provide the ideal design at an affordable price without compromising on audio quality.
