5 out of 5 stars Cheap price for 2 GB!!   October 6, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

For the price and the fact that it's 2 GB make up for the small imperfections that it has.
A few things I want to point out.
First this unit takes AAA batteries so over time buying those AAA batteries will add up.
Second SanDisk Sansa m250 2 GB MP3 Player is not designed with a flat thin body. (I guess this is more of a personal preference.)
Third the sound quality is not super high-end but I am guessing in reality that most people won't know the different unless they have a higher end player.
You can check the other reviewers to note a few other imperfections that I didn't mention.
If you can afford it I highly recommend getting the SanDisk Sansa Clip 2 GB MP3 Player.
Sansa Clip 2 GB MP3 Player as of this writing is about $20 more than Sansa m250 2 GB MP3 Player but well worth it.
To finish up let's get back to the Sansa m250 player and the price verses what you get makes it a really good value and that's why I give it a 5 stars.



5 out of 5 stars Awesome Value!!   October 3, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Sandisk players are the best. I currently own 3 different units ranging in capacity from 512mb to 2gb. Loading the music is very easy and the playback quality is superb. The only drawback that I can see is that selecting a specific song for playback can be time consuming, but I usually just let them play randomly. Considering the low cost, the simplicity of use and the good sound quality, this unit is an exceptionally good choice.


3 out of 5 stars Not bad for the price   October 3, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

The product is good but the arm bad that comes with it is not good when running because the player moves around. Also, the sound of the music is very low and not good. Overall not a bad player for the price, looks good, has radio and easy to put music on it.


5 out of 5 stars You don't even need a bra!   September 30, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This is my first MP3 player, so I do not have anything to compare it with, but I also had no idea how to use one, and have found it to be really user friendly.
I read a lot of reviews because I wanted an MP3 player that was inexpensive (I am mostly just listenting to it while I exercise.), easy to use, and would hold up decently. CNET gave this one a good review, and most all of the Amazon reviews were very favorable, too.
I have had it for a couple of weeks, and for being TOTALLY clueless about using an MP3 player, this has been really easy to figure out. It was easy to load music on, easy to use, and the FM radio even seems decent. It even came with a simple case and arm-band so I don't have to stick it down my bra while I exercise!! I am very happy with the SanDisk Sansa!




4 out of 5 stars Positive   September 30, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Works as is designed and well at it as that. MP3 player and FM radio work well . The only negative is the lack of a built in speaker which would be nice to check your voice recordings from time to time such as I had with another brand.

Simple to use also so it get's 4 out of 5 stars from me.
