I bought a Clip+ this week, and have had a Fuze for over a year. One thing about the PC Magazine review I mentioned in the previous post.

" as well as a better-than-average pair of earbuds that manage to stay in place with the help of some foam coverings. But you shouldn't expect top-notch audio quality or bass response. "

They mean that that you shouldn't expect great sound from the included earphones. With good quality 16 to 32 ohm earphones that are efficient(at least 104 db/mw) the sound quality of the Clip+ is great, and is basically the same as the Fuze. At

the Clip(predecessor to the Clip+ and almost the same but without the card slot and folder navigation) has been one of the favorite players, with many there commenting that the sound quality of the Clip and Fuze(and now the Clip+) is much better than many much more costly players(when used with a decent quality headphone or earphone).

An even better review of the Clip+.

Which do I like better, the Clip+ or the Fuze? The Clip+ is best when someone is very active and tends to let albums play through. The Fuze with its longer battery life, scroll wheel, and larger display is better when one likes to hunt for individual songs often, or they want more battery life.

On a few occasions I was almost tempted to buy a Cowon D2 or D2+ but resisted the temptation. Aside from the very long battery life of the D2+(listed as 52 hours),and the full sized SDHC card slot(on the Clip+ and Fuze the card slot is micro SDHC) the D2+ is much better than the Fuze at playing video( video playback on the Fuze basically sucks, also photo viewing on the Fuze is useful). The D2 or D2+ is twice as thick as the Fuze, and 50% heavier.
