The clip zips haven’t been in production for maybe about three years. That’s long enough for me, but it depends who you are and how long you expect to have it I guess. The clip+ has been out of production much longer, likely well before the Fuze+ was released.
Also if you find it you could be buying it from a shady seller. I’ve seen some selling the clip+ on amazon and claiming ‘bulk packaging’ . It could be new but I wouldn’t personally shell out 70 bucks to find out.
I’m not trying to be a know it all or bring anyone down. This is just my personal experiance and two cents with devices such as these. If you need to get it warrantly replaced as well you could end up getting a well used device that is worse off. It’s happend to me with a lot of electronics really.
I just purchased a clip jam and am really excited to get this device. It’s the best I’m going to do for the cheap price unless I want to roll the dice on a Chinese ipod look alike.
Happy Listening!
