Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SanDisk Sansa c250 - Digital player / radio - flash 2 GB - WMA, MP3 - pinkCustomer Review: Solid MP3 Player Without Complications Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted to buy a nicer or more expensive mp3 player because I thought my mom deserves one, but my brother urged me to get this Sansa c250. My mom is definitely not a tech savvy person, but she wants to listen to music on her weekly business trips without too much hassle. This mp3 player actually fits her very well. The menu might seem a little confusing at first, just like any other new piece of electronics you've gotten before. However after a brief explanation, my mom got the hang of it. Not only is it easy to use because of the very obvious play/pause/stop/menu/hold buttons, you can actually listen to FM radio, a feature she did not expect but was absolutely thrilled once I told her about it. The mp3 player also supports many languages, which cater to the international crowd. Uploading is very simple as well. Unlike anything Apple (I owned iPod and iPhone), you don't need a specific program/software to do song transfer! Simply treat it like a USB flash drive!
There are several things users should be aware of that I want to mention. First off, the screen is really not that big, and the same goes with the words. But consider you will be playing music on this mp3 player, not reading a book, this is actually tolerable in my opinion. Also, like many mp3 players out there, this package does not come with AC charger. It only comes with a USB cable for charging and media (songs, photos, etc) transfer. If you have to travel without access to a computer, I suggest buying a car or wall charger. Make sure it is compatible! E250 (EXXX line) chargers might not work with this unit. I haven't tested it out myself so just read twice before you buy.
Here's a quick list if you don't have time to read my entire review:
Why you should buy this:
- Easy to use, my tech savvy brother and not so tech savvy mother both have one.
- Color screen, makes it a little attractive
- Easy media transfers, work just like a USB flash drive. No special/hard to use software needed.
- Functions include: FM radio, voice recording, photo viewing, mp3 player
- Rechargeable battery that is removable, but you need to purchase specific battery if you want additional ones. Rechargeable battery is more environmentally friendly.
- Unit is not big and heavy at all, very travel friendly.
- Can choose different languages for the menu display
Why you might rethink twice:
- The screen and the screen are small.
- Very basic functions. You won't find nifty game or anything like that.
- Does not come with AC or car charger
Bottom line: Good customer value--for the low price you pay, you get basic but solid functions. Sound quality is ok too. If you want something that simple that works great, look no further! This line also comes with 4GB or more.
What does the package include:
- MP3 player itself
- Headphones
- A small/short lanyard type of thing so you can tie onto your mp3 player.
- USB cable for the unit
- Installation CD (I didn't use it so I can't comment on it. I can tell you that you can transfer media without any sort of installation though!)
