Options for 16GB MP3 player/headphones

[zerocool84]

Looking for an MP3 player to have when I take my dogs out on walks. Don't want to take my phone. Don't really care about being able to play any video just audio. I want to be able to just drag and drop files. If you have any other suggestions please let me know.

There's this Sony Walkman 16GB NWZ-S545 on sale at Fry's for $90.

On in-ear headphones ~$50 as I know the ones that will come with almost any player will be crappy. I have no idea on headphones.

Try a Sansa Clip+. Great sound quality and nearly disposable.

Awesome ordered one on Amazon. Thanks for that. Even though it only came in 8GB it has an SD slot and I have spare 8GB micro SD cards and it has a radio and voice recording.

Any decent ~$50 headphones?

They're no Seinhauser (sp) earbuds, but I just wanted some in-ear phones that sounded good enough and I picked some of these up at my local Fred Meyer store for $29.

Most comfortable earphones I've ever owned and the fact that they are the earhook design means they really don't move when I'm working out. The cord seems a little skinny, especially near the plug, but they do sound really good, especially compared to anything that comes with ANY mp3 player.

I like the Sony earbuds myself. Nice oomph on the bottom end, and wonderfully comfortable. I can wear them for hours and hours.

Not worth it even at the sale price IMO. Very poor bass response and apparently has some durability problems. For a solid sounding but not bank breaking pair, I'd look at the Sennheiser CX-300 or CX-300 II. Buy them direct from amazon or something, as if you go the ebay route you'll almost guarantee you're getting a rebranded fake.

I've been reading reviews and even some of the certified Amazon sellers are selling fakes as well. I'm getting the CX-300 II. I'm going to buy the ones directly from Amazon even though they're $60 but I'm guaranteed to get a real set. No wonder some of the certified sellers are selling them as low as $30. Thanks

If you don't want to wait, they also retail at best buy for the same price.
