SanDisk Sansa Fuze+ review

The Sansa Fuze+ is inexpensive and feature-packed, but hampered by slow performance and a finicky touchscreen that will have you wishing for some actual buttons.

SanDisk Sansa Fuze+ MP3 review

iPods aren't for everybody. The ones with all the cool features will set you back at least $150, and the ones you can afford don't do much. If you want to spend less than $100 for a portable media player that can handle music, photos, videos, FM radio,...

The Sansa Fuze+ comes in a variety of colors and capacities, at superaffordable prices. Features such as video playback, AAC compatibility, FM radio, photos, podcasts, Rhapsody support, voice recording, and Mac compatibility make it an easy iPod...

The new touch-pad navigation is sluggish; screen resolution isn't great; audio quality is just average; and the all-plastic design feels cheap.

You can find smaller or cheaper MP3 players, but you won't find a better value than the Sansa Fuze+ in terms of dollars per features.

SanDisk Sansa Fuze+

If you live outside the iTunes ecosystem, the Sansa Fuze+ offers better features than either the Apple iPod nano or the iPod shuffle and is priced to compete with both players.

Very reasonable price for capacity, performance. User interface features good-looking animated graphics. FM radio recording and voice recording. MicroSD slot for swappable content.

Slow reaction time from touch pad. Occasionally, controls don't respond to touch. Navigation can be tedious.

SanDisk Sansa Fuze Flash-Based MP3 Player

A low price, a deep feature list, and an ultracompact design make the Sansa Fuze a very worthy Nano competitor.

Slim, compact design ; Expandable memory

Video playback isn't crisp

The Fuze is a worthy competitor to the Nano--and an even better choice if you're looking for a flash player with expandable memory, an FM tuner, and a lower price tag

SanDisk Sansa Fuze

SanDisk doesn't break new ground with its latest compact PMP, but the good news is that the tiny player won't break the bank.

Reasonably priced. Cute, compact design. A microSD slot for memory expansion. FM radio. Voice and radio recording.

File support is limited. All video and photo files require conversion.

Sandisk Sansa Fuze

SanDisk's latest addition to its portable media player line, the Sansa Fuze, fits cozily in between the dirt-cheap and diminutive Sansa Clip and the larger Sansa View in terms of both price and size. It's possible that the Fuze was introduced by...

Reasonably priced. Cute, compact design. A microSD slot for memory expansion. FM radio. Voice and radio recording.

File support is limited. All video and photo files require conversion.

The Sansa Fuze isn't particularly innovativeit's just another simple, yet solid portable media player from SanDisk. We just wish it had more robust file support.

SanDisk Sansa Fuze ( 2GB, black)

The SanDisk Sansa Fuze is supercheap and nicely compact; it comes in a variety of colors and has an expansion slot that accepts microSDHC cards. The player offers a variety of desirable features such as an FM tuner, Rhapsody DNA integration, photo and...

The Sansa Fuze uses a proprietary dock connection, the interface is blah, and the screen has a dingy look to it.

The SanDisk Sansa Fuze is a great value; a slim design, a simple interface, plentiful features, memory expansion capability, and solid sound quality all come with an easy-to-swallow price tag.

SanDisk Sansa Fuze 8GB

The Sanza Fuze delivers an impressive range of features and won't make you break the bank.

In all, the Sanza Fuze delivers a good range of features and won’t make you break the bank. A worthy competitor to iPod’s Nano range by all means.

Sandisk Sansa Fuze 4GB MP3 Player

My initial impression of the Sansa Fuze in one word: "San-sational". Sleek and sturdy - shiny and sharp - this unit is a step forward in Sandisk's line of mp3 players.

Ability to delete songs on the fly ; Great battery life ; Competitively Priced ; Easy to Use

Travel pouch holds player upside down, clutter gets in ; Power slider - cannot just turn on while in pouch, have to remove

Because of the quality of the Sansa Fuze, this review has almost written itself. Like the e200 series before it, this unit is very well designed and has excellent features: Great sound, attractive screen, easy-to-use interface, durable case, robust...
