If Bluetooth capability is essential, the dainty T10 is a very tempting proposition. It's slim, sexy and packs an impressive number of features into its diminutive body, including an FM radio and the ability to output to two pairs of Bluetooth headphones simultaneously.

In other areas, however, it just can't compete with the class-leading wired players. It's not the easiest player to use, wired sound quality isn't brilliant and you can get more capacity for the money. If Bluetooth isn't important, we'd urge you to try something different: the more practical 16GB Sansa View may be slightly bulkier, but sound quality, screen, ease of use and storage are far superior.
