5 out of 5 stars scandisk sansa m250 2 gb   October 9, 2008
we are very pleased and this is the second one of this kind in a different color. I would greatly advised for others to enjoy the fun of this mp3 player.


2 out of 5 stars It would be Great if it only turned on   October 8, 2008
From the moment I got it the m250 it had a hard time turning on. And as time went by, say 3 weeks it was extremely difficult to get the device to turn on. And there was about a week that I didn't even use the device bc I was waiting for my audiobook to come in the mail. When it came on I was thrilled with its ease of use and quality it provided, but I only expect it to get worse. If I use it then turn it off, I have to wait several hours to get it back on : / Very frustrating, but you get what you pay for.


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.
