This versatile player features expansive capacities and expandable memory so that you can add micro SD memory card and carry your entire music library wherever you go. It is capable of playing digital music and video files. That makes the sansa something of a bargain when compared to a similar iPod.The Sansa MP3 player is an electronic multimedia device introduced by SanDisk. Best price was $206 (plus postage) on eBay.
The e280 - and its main competition, the 8GB iPod nano - both sport a suggested retail price of $249, But I found the sansa selling for a lot less on the Internet. Its internal navigation system is not as good as some of its rivals but its sound quality is superior to many other similar devices -especially when using slower ripping speeds - means you can carry more good-sounding music. In summary, the sansa e280 can hold a lot of music for a comparatively reasonable price. The voice recorder worked well recording voices. Photo files are better suited to the screen. I was also able to play with videos (after being processed by SanDisk’s included software) and they looked fine if you don’t mind watching videos on a screen the size of a large postage stamp. That means radio stations providing good signals sounded better than the overly-compressed crap one usually hears on today's broadcast band. With good-sounding earphones the sansa sounded very, very good I tried WMA and MP3 files ripped at different resolutions (256K, 128K, etc.) and found that 128K WMAs sounded best - with 96K WMAs very, very close behind. There are hundreds of good ones out there (in all price ranges) from companies like JVC, Sony, Koss, Sennheiser and Shure. Do yourself a favor and buy a good-sounding pair right when you buy your player. They stink - as do all free earphones included with music players, iPods included. Before I sat down for some serious listening I tossed the SanDisk-supplied earphones. Once I got used to using my fingernail to press the forward, reverse and menu buttons I found the sansa easy to handle.Īctually, this is where sansa excels. They’re a little too small for my big fingers. After awhile, I did get used to it - but I always found myself looking at the screen to make sure of what I was doing.Īnd the actual navigation buttons deserve a mention too.
There always seemed to be an extra menu I had to deal with to change the song selection. It took me too much time to become proficient at changing music selections on the run. Navigating sansa's menu system was, for me, the weakest point.
