I've just ordered a Sansa Fuze, 8GB, for 74 euros (originally 120 Euros).

The Sony players received many customer comments of being good in sound like the SanDisk, but more complicated in handling.

The creative Zen was too big, I also do not need such a big display. No video intended here.

Emersons I did not find in stores or being listed in onlineshops in Germany.

My reasons for the Sansa Fuze:
- said to have very good sound
- display is bigger than just three lines
- No other player on German Amazon received so many perfect customer ratings, mentioning both handling and sound quality
- price
- more data formats listed as compatible than for the other players
- size (slightly smaller than a credit card)

I plan to use 192 kb samples, which should put me on the safe side of MP3 quality.

I am ready to maybe replace the earplugs, but I do not want to invest too much money into them (not more than ~35 euros). I read recommendations for the Sennheiser CX 400-II, the Ultimate Ears MetroFi 170, and Koss KEB 24. - Any thoughts?
