Works great for what I need it

This little guy is not for everyone. If you don't care about cons, then you will have a hard time finding a better MP3 player.
Cons:
* No expandable storage. Although 16GB is plenty for me. Not that hard to refresh the whole library every once in a while
* Battery life is not great in Bluetooth mode (6-7 hours)
* Integrated clip is mostly plastic and will likely break if you are not careful.
* Appears to be older Bluetooth version (under v4), which is probably the reason for the issue above. Need confirmation.
* A little expensive, considering that you can buy smartphone for the same price. On the other hand it will definitely last 5+ years.
* Battery is not replaceable, but I'm sure it can be replaced with some tinkering.
* Probably will never work with rockbox
* Does not have carrying case. Just use an old case for glasses.

Pros:
* Drag and drop to add music. No bull**** requiring special software or syncing.
* Convenient size. It might seem a little big (1.5" long) but that is the price for ruggedness and screen.
* Solid build. Does not feel cheap and built like a tank that will survive anything you throw at it. Plastic cover around screen is curved to handle more pressure.
* Has a reasonably sized screen. Low resolution, but you are not buying it to watch videos.
* Skip songs with a single button press, even when screen goes off.
* Water resistant IPX5. Could be better, but not planning to swim with it.
* Decent menu and controls. Had to show my retired mother how to use it only twice, which is quite an achievement ;)
* FM radio is a nice bonus. You'll be surprised how many radio stations out there and how fun they can be.
* Came with a set of flat cable headphones. Not that good quality but great for a backup.
* Has stop watch and timer that can be saved
* Latest firmware has Audible (.aax) support

There is also a pretty big manual available, which has more info about locking screen and other features.
I would recommend this to a friend!

1 out of 5DON'T BUY FOR BLUETOOTH HEADPHONES!

Purchased to use on my Plantronics BackBeat Fit Bluetooth headphones for workouts. Didn't work.
Went to Sandisk site and was told I had to update firmware on a brand new item?! Firmware still didn't work. Very disappointed!
This paired with Bluetooth speakers I have but that's not what I wanted them for.
If you want to work with wireless headphones, DON'T BUY THIS ITEM!
I returned to store.

I had Plantronics BackBeat Fit and it worked great with this little guy. However, the Plantronics headphones "permanently" pair to the first device and you have to reset it to pair with another one.
Although I returned the headphone because they are not designed to isolate the outside noise at all.
