USB 2.0 Specs Reviews Learn more about the SanDisk Cruer Micro MP3 Companion Model Brand SanDisk Model Cruer Micro MP3 Companion Part Number SDCZ4-000-A15 Details Type MP3 Player Color Silver Storage Memory Type Flash Memory Data Transfer Connection Type USB 2.0 Battery Battery Type 1 x AAA Battery Additional Information Date First Available August 10, 2004 Anonymous Not perfect; But at this price, you cant lose 1062005 1:16:07 AM Comments: As personal audio recorderplayers go, I think these MP3 units are the coolest thing to come along since the PC hit the mass market In addition, considering its versatility, this SanDisk Companion is remarkably compact However, I have only one complaint, and its a major one; Its those stereo earphones that come with it.

The transducers measuring 0.65 (16.5 mm) in diameter and not being the least bit malleable, are either too big to fit IN the ear canal, or too small to be secured within the earlobe, so as to make an effective enough acoustic seal for the accurate transfer of sound, Id say, for the vast majority of adults.

Therefore, to make the most of the Companions sound reproduction capabilities, plan on also purchasing a good set of aftermarket IN-the-ear-phone replacements.

There are probably a dozen models from various manufacturers out there ranging from 18 to 180.

But the ones with which Ive had first-hand experience, which I can also recommend, are the Sony Fontopia MDR-EX51LP Earbud-phones.

Supplied with three different sized pairs of replaceable ear-cushions, one can be fairly certain the Fontopia ear-buds can be set up to properly fit inside practically anyones ear canals.

And being made of soft silicone-rubber, they provide the acoustic seal needed to fully appreciate the bass response (down to 9 Hz) the Fontopias can accurately produce, while allowing the buds presence in ones ears to be virtually undetectable even wearing them for the full 8-hours or so of listening enjoyment one battery can provide in this player.

Available here, as well as a certain online web-merchant of the same name as the largest forest in this planets western hemisphere, they can be had for right around a quarter of a Ben Franklin.

That might sound like a considerable lot to shell out for this unit, but overall its still about a franklin less than an I-Pod, and the improvement in the way this MP3 player sounds is virtually mind-blowing Did you find this review helpful Yes No Jean K.

Great player but has design flaw 1052005 11:02:39 AM Comments: This player works great but has a problem with the battery door.

Sandisk says they no longer make this model and will replace it with another.

Did you find this review helpful Yes No Anonymous Kind Of Cheap.but sounds good 7122005 8:23:47 PM Comments: I thought I would give this cruzer accessory a try, after all, it is a great idea.

It just feels inadequate, as does the scroll wheel and volume controls.

The battery compartment door is very thin also, and with the frequency of changing the battery (8 hoursbattery), with much use, it may not last long (mine works fine, but I worry that one day, this will probably be the weak link).

If only it had a power jack so I could use a power adapter when at work in my office.

I am still looking for a more rugged style mp3 player for day to day stuff.

Warning Needs to be Flashed for 512Mb 5202005 2:00:33 PM Comments: I got this thing and it did not function with my 512 Micro.

I called SanDisk tech support and they did indicate it needed to have the firmware flashed to work with 512Mb.

I pulled all data off my Micro, reformatted it in FAT16, and put the ROM image on the Micro.

Wow, it worked like a charm and the process deleted the ROM image too.

Works great FYI, You will need to flash the ROM to get 512Mb Micro to work.

Did you find this review helpful Yes No Mr.
