Checking Out The Sansa Mp3 Player

Full Review

Mp3 players come out in all sorts of forms trying to keep on and the Sansa mp3 player emphasizes on the screen size as one of its visual selling points. The screen is pretty big at 1.9 inches and is bright enough for using anywhere. The simple interface makes it even better for music lovers to enjoy their favorite tracks or try out the many other functions easily.

The Sansa mp3 player doesn’t play mp3s alone, but it also has some interesting features like an FM tuner, Rhapsody DNA integration, good support for both photo and video formats, and enhanced audio support including playback support for both FLAC and OGG formats.

The built-in microphone also gives the Sansa mp3 player some voice recorder capabilities. The Sansa mp3 player also has memory expansion capabilities allowing micro SDHC cards to be used for storing even more music and files.

One of the interesting features that people that are always on the go will like are the battery life indicators for both music and videos. The battery life grants around 24 hours of audio playback and 5 hours for video playback.

However this battery is non-replaceable and there aren’t many accessories available for the Sansa mp3 player. Fortunately, the inexpensive cost of the media device makes up for it as well as the small and slim design. The Sansa mp3 player is highly recommended for anyone looking for a small-sized player that can cover plenty of multimedia formats.

It may have just 4 GB of space which may not be enough for videos, but the micro SDHC slot adds better flexibility to storage concerns. Aside from the minor quirks when scrolling through songs with album arts, the Sansa player is a great deal.

Product Summary

The Good

The Bad

Some instances of hanging occur in the Sansa mp3 Player while scrolling through a bunch of songs that have album arts. It doesn’t offer many accessories to it either and the battery is non-replaceable.
