| The Bottom Line | The Carbon largely lives up to the hype. This mini hard drive player has a great design, an excellent interface, and Energizer-like battery life. | 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. | Rio's Forge Sport makes a terrific and stylish workout companion. | The colorful and versatile Creative Zen Micro will make lots of users happy. | As did the phased-out H120, the H320 will attract those who value features as well as superior audio playback and recording quality over style. |
