| Bottom line | The
Apple iPod Shuffle is an adorable way to take your favorite songs on the go, but sometimes it's too small for its own good. | SanDisk's tongue-twister of an MP3 player is a stupefying value and its practical clip-on design is perfect for the gym. | If you're looking for a sweat-resistant, all-in-one solution for rocking out at the gym, the Sony W-Series Walkman will provide just that. | The SanDisk Sansa Clip+ is an excellent successor to the line, offering a fitness-friendly design with a built-in belt-clip, a simple interface, solid sound quality, and plenty of handy features--all for an ultralow price. It's an unbeatable value. |
