Couldn’t that be calculated on paper?
Regardless, there still is the trade-off: adjust the pitch tighter with a small battery hit; or keep the pitch as is with the longer battery life. Note that the pitch target was improved with the Clip+ from the Clip.
Personally, I think that an estimated 14-1/2 hour battery life for something this small is pretty bloody amazing and allows for, essentially, a full day of play. And the loss of 1/2 an hour is not major. But it could be a marketing issue, perhaps, and I don’t know what the majority of users would feel.
I came back to say this. There should be no trade-off. I presently have a player that is tiny, plays on-pitch and has a battery life of 60 hrs. In a way, I’m glad that Sandisk had this issue or I wouldn’t have found my new perfect player.
If another manufacturer can figure a way to have superb battery life and play on pitch in a very small form factor, there really isn’t any excuse for Sandisk not to do the same.
