The Sansa Clip is a direct competitor to the iPod Shuffle based on its small size and capability. Many have claimed that it is superior to the Apple product in all aspects other than design. The sound quality has also been praised by critics. It is also more cost effective music player ($40-$60) than the iPod Shuffle, which makes it easier to replace should it be damaged or lost.

"The bottom line is that the Clip can run with the higher end players and is more than acceptable to use with a $100+ set of headphones." - anythingbutipod.com
