Digital camera reviews of SanDisk Sansa c250 2 GB MP3 Player (Black)
Digital camera Review: A very good buy of an enjoyable player.
Summary: 4 Stars
I have greatly enjoyed using this player and have found it very adequate for bringing the joy of portable music to a 70 year old man!Digital camera Review: A very good mp3 player
Summary: 5 Stars
A really good mp3 player. It doesn't come with any clip so you would haveto buy a case to put it in.
The sound quality is good and it is easy to use.
I am so happy with my player that I bought one for my brother for Christmas :)
Digital camera Review: Actually pretty incredible for the price.
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm gonna keep this as brief as possible. I'm writing this to address and/ or counter the less than stellar reviews given by some of the questionably intelligent "reviewers". (I use this word very loosely). I realize this product is quite old, but due to it's price, is still quite popular. ESPECIALLY to the Rockboxers (More on this later)
First of all, this is NOT a high-end unit, and no one has proclaimed it to be. That being said, the build quality, interface, sound quality and battery life are much more than expected at this price level. If you find anything other, then I would suggest a lobotomy.
Getting music on your player is quite an easy task. You can "drag-and-drop" via MSC mode or sync with your favorite audio player(WMP, Winamp, Foobar, etc) via MTP mode. It really couldnt get much simpler.
As far as the user interface, I cannot, for the life of me, understand why people have such a hard time with this. You press up, down, left and right then click in the middle. How much simpler do you want it? I will say, however, the STN LCD screen is definitely not going to win any awards any time soon. Specifically, the contrast is way off, which makes selection a bit more difficult. Not impossible, tho. This problem is cured by Rockbox, so I'm not quite sure why SanDisk didnt allow for contrast adjustment and/or create a better background colorset, but it is what it is. A super cheap MP3 player with above average performance.
Lastly, those complaining about SQ, there is a simple solution. It's called Rockbox. Google it if you don't know what I'm talking about. Not only does it increase the SQ by way of infinite sound adjustments, it also expands on, and adds a TON of features not included with the factory firmware. It is easily installed and makes the unit worth its weight in gold. And it's free.
I would also recommend a better pair of IEM headphones. The stockies, while are not awful, are certainly not anything I'd call grand.
In summary, do NOT be deterred by the questionable negative reviews as none have complained about anything that is either a huge problem, or cannot be rectified.
Digital camera Review: Almost...

Equalizer resets whenever changing artist, rendering the player useless because of the headphones I use (Koss UR40, using the equalizer to tone down the heavy bass.) Great player for anyone who doesn't need an equalizer for their headphones.Digital camera Review: Amazing Player
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought mine in 2007. I have been using it ever since. I carry it with me every where. It has endured a hot car, getting dropped multiple times, being crushed by books and other misc objects, summer camp life, and a bunch of other stuff and it is still going.
I have seen and tried to use other MP3 players but I think Sansa is the best that is out there. It is easy to use. I love the SD expansion slot. I am trying to convince my dad to buy one and forget the piece of junk he just got for just as much.
Forget getting an Ipod it is just a status symbol. Go for something functional and this is it.
