I have a question that Sansa Chat could not answer. Can Sansa Zip work with 3.5 mm headphones instead of earbuds?
I think the answer is one of the following.
- It will but sound quality will be not as good as thru earbuds
1.a Same as above but the sound will be very quiet
- It will with a good sound quality but it will drain battery sooner. (how soon?)
- Same as above but it may be harmful for Sansa.
- It will not work.
- Something else.
The reason I’m asking is because I bought $100 headphones but do not want to unpack them before I know they will work with Sansa Clip Zip.
SanDisk chat answered that they never tested Sansa Clip with headphones.
#5- Something else: works wonderfully
Any 3.5mm standard jack works with the CZ. I use Sennheiser/Adidas behind-the-neck headphones when walking/running, Klipsch S4 earphones when at work. Both work with no problem, plenty of volume and the sound quality is vastly superior to what Sandisk supplied. I even used my CZ with my Grado SR60i headphones, no issues driving them.
Use what you wish, just make sure they fit the 3.5mm jack. Nearly anything sounds better than the phones Sandisk supplies.
