Favorable Review

A really nice MP3 player for a reasonable price.

DEC

I've had my Sansa e260 for about a year now. The Sansa e260 is a 4GB MP3 player. It's a nice size--not too big or too small. I have a few pictures of my kids, a couple short videos taken with my digital camera, and plenty of music on my Sansa. I don't use the FM tuner… read full review »

Sandisk e260 - just about the perfect mp3 player!

somewhat tech savvy

JUL

2008

The Sandisk Sansa series of mp3 players is probably the best out there. Simply use Windows Explorer to move media back and forth is simple. It requires no software, like iTunes that makes your pc slow to a crawl and cumbersome to transfer media to your player. — The radio reception is great and the ability to record from the radio or a memo for later is great, too. — To me, the simply of transferring media more than outweighs the lack of playing the mp3 player while connected to a pc. All my music is backed up on my pc anyhow. — We have an e250 and e260 in our house already.… read full review »

why pay the price for an iPod?

APR

2008

I've had this for almost a year and really like it. Sounds great. Replaced the included earbuds, which were uncomfortable and not as secure a fit as I wanted, with Skullcandy buds (see my review). Battery life is great. Agree with others that the controls are tricky till you get used to them. Not as thin as my son's iPod, but not at all bulky. Like having the FM tuner included. Meets my needs just fine, and at half the price of an iPod, has been a very satisfying… read full review »

Sounds great for half the price of an IPOD

I bought this product for myself after buying my husband and daughter IPODs earlier in the year. I compared features and realized this little machine did more with less. There is no propietary issues either. If you want to download music, you don't HAVE to use ITunes. — — This baby has 4 gigs of memory which holds a lot of songs. Transferring over music is very simple (even for the non-techie) and the sound quality is terrific. —… read full review »

Very good iPod alternative

MAR

2008

I was attracted to the Sansa e260 when I saw it from a friend of a friend. At the time most of my best friends had iPods, the latest being the nano. The e260 is about half the price of an iPod nano, with 4 gig memory, plus many more features like radio, voice recording, video playing capabilities, etc. — I ordered mine online, which may not have been a good idea because I think mine might have been a return. It works fine still for the most part. The only real downside to the e260 is that sometimes, you lose songs. A song would out of nowhere become a "bad track" and you have to put it… read full review »

It's small and light, which makes it great for an active user. — — The included software works like a charm and drag and drop loading is a snap. — — The sound is quite good. I am no audiophile, but I will say that with a decent pair of headphones or ear buds it will come alive with clear highs, solid bass and everything in between. If you are not really happy with the sound there are plenty of EQ presets to satisfy your sound desires. — — The screen is pretty good as well. I did not have any intentions to watch videos on it, but now that I have it, I… read full review »

I bought this for my husband and he loves it. I use it myself occasionally. It's easy to use and the sound is great. The earbuds that it comes with aren't all that great, but I haven't ever bought an mp3 player that had great earbuds with it. I found some good ones for a great price and now the Sansa sounds even better. One day I went to the sink in the kitchen and found that the Sansa that had been left on the bar above the sink had fallen into a bowel full of water and had probably been there all night. Of course it didn't work. The battery was… read full review »

I purchased this after checking out all my options, and price was a huge factor for me, so that was one of the first things I looked at... — After reading tech reviews and user reviews, this got great reviews and was ranked equal to or most times higher than the iPod! I picked it up, and haven't been happier since. The controls are easy to use, the sound quality is great, and the battery charge lasts days. — My daughter has a Sansa but a different model. She was having trouble with her player and I was given the chance to deal with their customer service… read full review »

NOV

2007

I bought this one after looking for quite some time for a good mp3 player. I had my previous one for over 3 years and although I loved it, it was time for it to be retired. I am very picky when it comes to mp3 players. They have to be attractive, reasonably priced and come with a memory card slot so I can expand the storage. That is why it took me so long to find a new one, not many mp3s come with expandable storage anymore. I know that I will probably never use up the 4 gigs but it is nice to have the option to expand if I need to. I like that it is small and lightweight so it doesnt weigh… read full review »

I've seen some negative reviews for this product but in my opinion they were exceedingly nit picking. This mp3 player has excellent audio quality and it's easy to use. The video playback is amazing for such a small screen. Converting video files with the included conversion utility is quick and easy. — — I also like the expandability. Simply insert a micro SD card and you infinite expansion. Add the reasonable quality voice recorder, the FM tuner with presets, photo shows and you have a solid mp3 player. — — The only negatives are small. The included ear buds… read full review »

I purchased this item because of it's expandable storage space and price. Overall, I have been very pleased with this purchase. I have actually been able to put more songs on this player than what is advertised. You have to remember that the length of songs will make a difference. This MP3 player had a nice display and is very easy to use. The sound quality is great and the battery has a long life before it needs to be recharged. The only thing that I didn't really care for was the initial set up of this product. The instructions are not too clear and… read full review »

This is a really nice and expandable MP3 player with a clear screen and easily to navigate. Once you have it set up you can drag and drop files really easily. I have had some issues with it just shutting down in the middle of it playing a song, but once I let the battery die, and then charge it, it starts up again without issue. This has good sound quality and impressive battery time. It's easy to charge and has a lot of functionality - recording, pictures (never used) and you can listen to the radio (not really good quality because there is no antenna). But… read full review »

I received this MP3 player as a gift, and thus far, am very impressed with it. Although the controls are a bit awkward, they are not difficult to master. It has every possible feature that I would want out of an MP3 player. Its nice to be able to carry some of my favorite photos with me, and the voice recorder definitely comes in handy. The battery life is also impressive! — I don't use, nor do I quite understand the need for the capability to play videos, since the screen is so small. But this player has quite an impressive amount of features for… read full review »
