Best MP3 Players for Under $50

By Matt Pierson


Yes you can, provided that your expectations are that you're getting a good music player without any additional features. The key thing to keep in mind is that you aren't going to be getting all the bells and whistles that something like an iPod Touch has but you can certainly get a respectable MP3 Player that plays music (with no video), and probably also has a built in radio, for that price. The iPod Shuffle is the only iPod model for sale in this price range, it comes with 2 GB of storage space and a pretty nice pair of headphones for a player under $50.

Here are some good options for an MP3 Player under $50

The SanDisk Sansa Clip models are a great option for the sub-$50 price point. You can usually find them at Amazon for around $35. As the name implies they come with a built-in clip and are also small and light weight. This device is small but does include a screen you can use to navigate your music collection and playlists unlike the iPod Shuffle.

For even cheaper you can get the Coby MP620, it's often available for around $22 on Amazon. I like the SanDisk better overall but the Coby does include an FM-Radio which is nice to have.

While discounts are running you can often find the Philips GoGear Vibe 8GB models for just under $50 on Amazon or other sites. The Philips is a nice mp3 player for that price range and is a far better option than some of the off-brands and Chinese knock-off's that are plentiful on the internet in this price range.

MP3 Player for Kids under $50

If you're looking for a good mp3 player for kids that's under $50 you could either stick with the other "Under $50" players I mentioned previously since they're more replaceable, or you could consider bumping up your price limit by about $10 and getting a SweetPea3 or a Discovery Kids MP3 Player which are both very nice options in the $60 range.
