 Best BANG for the Bux. April 10, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I've had my Sansa e280 for 3 months now. It is my first (and only) MP3 player. I looked at many different kinds of players, including iPods, and talked to many people before deciding on this one.
If I had it to do over again, I would still buy this same player. It has performed flawlessly and is everything I expected it to be. It was easy to learn and remains easy to use. The sound quality, from decent headphones, is great. Using the optional (Griffin) FM transmitter in the car eliminates the big CD collection and sounds great too.
This player is great and I highly recommend it.
Excellent value, wish it worked with iTunes April 10, 2007

I bought the 8GB Sansa e280 for less than a 4GB iPod Nano. It has a great screen, lots of cool functions like voice recording and FM radio, and I like the navigation wheel MUCH better than the tempermental iPod wheel.
I do NOT like the ease of adding tunes and movies on the Sansa. The Rhapsody makes it a little easier, but it can't compare with the ease of iTunes.
And SanDisk's anti-iPod campaign is a loser. It reminds me of the VHS-Betamax battle of yesteryear. If Sansas worked with iTunes, SanDisk would take a much bigger share of the market, since they are clearly superior machines in functionality, design, and value.
Very Good Replacement iPod, Excellent Company! April 10, 2007

I'm very impressed by SanDisk Customer Service. I messed up my Sansa e280 and they sent me a new one, no charge, not even for shipping! Yes there were still the usual cust. svc. hoops to jump through -- firmware updates, reformatting, etc. -- to diagnose the problem, but in the end it wasn't long before they decided to send me a brand-new replacement (not some refurb!) via 3-day mail! Couldn't ask for a better company in terms of support, I think.
And of course, the e280 itself is an excellent iPod replacement, for those of us sick of apple's greedy ways. Things I don't like about the e280 is the awkwardly-placed Record button and the silly menu navigation sensibility, but other than that I would have given it five stars! Oh, I would have preferred a touch-sensitive scroll-wheel, instead of the old-fashioned tactile/mechanical one, but that's really a minor thing. I recommend the Sansa e280 to everyone, and I really love this company. They truly stand behind their product! Friggin' apple wants to charge $$$ for silly little things, but SanDisk gave me a whole new player even though, to be honest, I was the one who messed up my player (by mistake, of course)! I'm so grateful. =)
Great little dude April 6, 2007
I waited over a year to purchase an MP3 player and this is the one I chose. I don't like the fad of the iPod and I felt that there were some features that I wanted that apple did't offer; namely photos viewing and an fm receiver.
The little scroll wheel is a little tough to spin, but you get used to it. the screen is bright and vibrant.
Although I have yet to need it, the additional 2Gb of storage space that is made available by the mini-sd card is a great idea. Then you can have your base set of tunes and card of the rest of your files around for when you need them.
 a good alternative to the nano April 1, 2007

I should say up front that I got the 8GB Sansa for half price at Best Buy due to a typo on their website - otherwise I would have seriously considered a Nano. ($169 CDN instead of $269 in the store)
I like the idea of having a radio, voice recorder and picture/video capabilities - and the fact I can replace the battery myself puts this device light years ahead of the nano (hello Apple, radio's only been around for oh... 100 years).
On the negative side the wheel is terrible, it actually gets stuck while you rotate it and it is raised up so high it blocks the smaller buttons surrounding the wheel.
Fortunately someone wrote a neat script that works with iTunes so you can sync your Sansa with an iTunes playlist - very cool.
If Sandisk fixes the scroll wheel they'll have a real winner on their hands
