SanDisk Sansa e280 Review

 

Offers slick Rhapsody online music store integration, but ease of use needs improvement, and sound quality is lackluster.

Rhapsody integration ; Card slot for extra memory

Controls are uncomfortable to use ; Disappointing audio quality

The Sansa e260R would be a great player for sampling a constantly changing blend of music from Rhapsody's $15 monthly service. However, the player's low audio quality and uncomfortable thumbwheel make it hard to recommend

SanDisk Sansa e280R Rhapsody

 

We liked almost everything about SanDisk's Sansa e260 flash-memory digital media player when we reviewed it in November 2006, but we slapped it with a verdict of 5 because we activated its voice recorder every time we picked the damned thing up. The...

Amazing audio and video quality, improved exterior casing, Rhapsody-enabled (go figure)

Buttons are slightly undersized and situated slightly too close to the scroll wheel

We still don’t like the e280R’s undersized buttons, which are situated too close to the scroll wheel for our not-so-big thumbs, but the audio and video quality is just as good as the e260’s, and the microSD card slot is superhandy. With a street price...

SanDisk Sansa e280 (8GB)

 

With a huge features list, simple design and a whole lot of expandable storage space, the Sansa e280 screams "Take me on, wimpy iPod Nano".

Memory expandable to 10GB, One-touch recording for voice and radio, Multiple ways of transferring files to the player

AC adaptor not supplied, Scroll wheel not as smooth as a Nano's

Why I Picked the Sansa e280 As My Latest MP3 Player

 

This story starts off with bad news: I left my 2GB iPod Nano on a plane recently. Don't worry, I'm not too torn up about it since I got it as an office Christmas gift. Now I need to find me a new portable audio player of some sort, because I'm not...

SanDisk Borrows a Tune from Apple's Songbook

 

The flash memory maker's Sansa is a strong competitor to the iPod, but it won't displace the digital music player's status as No. 1.

Competing with the best in anything is a tall order, especially when that competitor is something of a cultural icon. That's the spot that flash memory concern SanDisk (SNDK) finds itself in with its Sansa line of digital music players. The Apple...
