Sansa 8GB
As a few others have posted, the volume on these ear buds is a little weak. That is ok for me though because I like to hear what is going on around me when I'm walking anyway. I still give it 5 stars because I was aware of this fact when I ordered it.
Other than that, this thing is great. I got the player about 2 weeks ago. I charged it the first time and put it in my coat pocket. I've listened to it now probably for about 7 hours and the battery is still pegged on full.
I think the menu system is just okay. I don't really use it much though. I just turn the player on and put it back in my pocket. I only have music on it I want to hear.
I don't really know what to say about this player other than it is what it is. It is almost half the price of a comparable ipod. When the battery finally dies, I can change it much unlike an ipod. I have yet to spend the on an 8GB microsd card, but knowing I can double my space whenever I want is quite nice.
I highly suggest that if you decide on any mp3 player, you get a case for it to protect it. Especially the display.
Amazing Player
This player is amazing! It's very easy to use and navigate through any part of the menu system. The sound quality is great, too. The buttons are kind of small, but you get used to them. I love the click wheel! It's got a nice sturdy feeling to it when you use it and it's very easy to stop rotating because of the ridges. Also very precise, I feel like I'm actually turning the screen. Unlike iPod's, when you get to the bottom of a music list, it'll take you right back up to the top, which is very nice. Also has two settings for volume, normal and high output, which can be changed in the settings menu. Has a nice equalizer, too. The menu button is very convenient as well...one click of it takes you back to the main menu from anywhere, and clicking again takes you back to the previous spot.
Overall, this is a very great deal and an amazing MP3 player! I would recommend this to anyone and everyone. Also, 8GB is a lot of room, I didn't even come close to filling it up, and it also has the micro SD expansion slot, which could double the size! I love this thing, sadly my screen got cracked(cuz I was stupid and left it in my pocket when I was working outside) but the backside is very strong. Never even scratched that back panel. I want to get another! :-)
Sansa e280
Not a bad mp3 player until it breaks. Mine stopped working after 9 months, in fact went completely dead. amazon are not prepared to honor any warranty. Buy something else.
it takes a lickin and keeps on tickin
I cannot believe that this unit, which I have had for 2-3 yrs and love, somehow ended up in my pillow case. When my new lop ear bunny piddled on the pillow, the whole thing went into the wash unbenownst to me...my trusty player was wrapped up inside. I took it out of the washer teary eyed and placed it on the radiator in my sons room. My hubby thought it may still work, I had no hope. A month later tonite I saw it and decided to hook it up to the cable to charge it, and to my utter disbelief, it lit up right away and seems to still have energy and all the music etc on there. AMAZING if you ask me. The thing that may have saved it was the pink silicone case I have on it to distinguish it from my sons. I am in awe.
BUT i love the player and got my sons as refubished lst summer. Great deal and great unit at any price really
Bargain Mp3 player!
I love my Sansa E280. I purchased a refurbished unit from "Retail Killers" on Amzon. It was a bargain at .00. It's easy to transfer music to it using Windows File Folders, I just copy & paste. I recommend buying a screen protector for it, this will ensure the screen isn't scratched. I use it on long bike rides & the internal battery has lasted 5+ hours on one charge. I also recommend storing it in a protective case or membrane, this will prolonge the device's life. Sandisk's customer support is excellent & you'll be able to speak to a live person, the number is on the Sandisk web site. The site is also usefull for instructions & software updates for your device. WARNING!!! Not all Sansa Micro SD cards work in all Sansa products. Find the model & generation number of your device, contact Sansa support & ask them what card is right for your device. I highly recommend.
