Digital camera reviews of SanDisk Sansa e280 8 GB MP3 Player (Black)
Digital camera Review: Awesome player, Even better if you hate Apple like I do
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this player with mixed thoughts. I heard lots of good things about it, but some people had complaints.
I have had absolutely no issue with it. I got the player and it was in a neat package, easy to get into once you get that plastic casing stuff off. It was a lot smaller than i had expected. People said it was like the size of the nano, but it just suprised me when i saw how small it was.
Some good things about this player:
-first off its not made by Apple
-small, light, goodlooks.
-much cheaper than the ipod nano
-nice clear screen
-although the screen is small, the video playback is good
-the equalizer. If you like a variety of music like me, you'll love this feature. it has many presets but also has a custom setting that you can edit
-A good amount of accessories for it, and definitely more to come.
-if you aren't interested in movies or pictures on it, then there is no installation of any programs. Either way you use Windows Media Player which i was already comfortable with.
-Great sound, even with the stock earbuds that aren't anything special
-it feels sturdy unlike the ipod, which feels feeble and weak in your hands.
-The FM tuner is awesome and being able to record music from it is a great option too.
-The back is scratch resistant and tough looking
Some things i'm not a huge fan of
- the placement of the record button, occasionally hitting it on accident
- the time it takes to sync the player. (if you have a lot of songs, its going to take a while, i have 1400 songs and it took about 1.4 hours)
- the top surface is a fingerprint magnet, but its no worse than the ipod
All in all, this MP3 player by far passed my expectations. Any one who gives this player a bad review either has a defective product or they just expected way too much from such a small package.
Digital camera Review: Awesome player, better than ipod.
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this player! The cons are that it is really loud and doesn't get as soft as I like, but that is minor, the buttons are somewhat hard to press but it is not that bad at all. I love this player and use it every day when I wouldn't have otherwise listened to music. I don't use the stock buds as I hate them not staying in my ear, but that is the same with ipod. So, I purchased sennheiser's in the ear kind and they work really well.
The wheel does take getting used to but is not as cheap as it feels and stands up to abuse well. I use WMP 11 and syncing is no problem plus all my playlists transfer over. I love the fact that I can use mp3 and wma and wmp11 instead of stuck with itunes and protected music when I own the CDs. For me it was a clear choice, expensive, hassle ipod or inexpensive less hassle sansa. Apple didn't back up their old product and now they just lost a customer! This player does what it is supposed to and more!
Digital camera Review: Awesome product
Summary: 5 Stars
Needed more space because my 4gb clip was full and found this online only problems i've had is skipping while listening to some songs at full volume but installing rockbox fixed this other than that this is a good mp3 player I highly recommend itDigital camera Review: Awesome product!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this thing! The price was great, all the features are awesome, I think it looks great and the sound quality is outstanding! And if you aren't happy with the sound, it has a customizable eq so you can make it sound however you want!
Unfortunately, someone lost my e280 so I upgraded to the Fuze for less money! I loved the e280 but am happier with the Fuze. It has all the same features as this one but has a slightly bigger screen and a better control wheel, in my opinion.
Digital camera Review: Awesome with Napster to Go
Summary: 5 Stars
Got 1 for me and 1 for my son, and we love them.
They work perfect with Napster to Go- I have about 1200 songs, and the play time is great. I did a firmware update about 1 month after I got it, and it plays even better.
Highly recommended!
