Customer Reviews

Great Product.
I love this MP3 player, it holds all of my songs, and has a memory slot so if I run out of room on the hard drive I can purchase a memory card as large as I want. This is the only player I will every need and it was so much cheaper than most mp3's or ipods. I don't really know why anyone would pay such a high price for something when this MP3 works as well as anything on the market. The battery life holds up great and last a long time. The only draw back is that you have to charge it from your pc. Great product, would recommend it to anyone!

decent product no so decent customer service by Sansa
I emailed the receipt for my Sansa e250 that was purchased in
December of 2007. The item has a one year warranty. To date, no one has
responded to my email despite being told that I would be contacted
within 24 to 48 hours.

This is the second time that I have encountered customer
service/warranty issues with Sandisk. At this point in time I am led to
believe that Sandisk has a habit of promising a warranty return and then
"dropping the ball" ostensibly to have a consumer to just go away.

At first I was content to just blog my experience with all of Sandisk's
responses because the first time this happened I attributed it to human
error. This time, I received a canned response to my inquiry and the
support issue was closed. I opened a new inquiry which has now also been
closed even though I emailed the receipt from Amazon.com for the e250
(we bought two at that time) and have not received any response to my email.

I am forced to conclude that Sandisk is content with selling devices,
providing semi-responsive customer service and then ignoring its
customers all while blaming the delays on the hand off between support
and RMA divisions.

Within my household we own four Sansa e250 devices, one c100 device and
a MicroSD expansion card. While I enjoy my Sansa e250 when it's working,
I no longer feel as if I can recommend it to my friends, colleagues or
to the readers of my blog due to this failing on the part of Sandisk.

VERY BUGGY!
When mine works, I really like it but most of the time I get random "Bad Track" messages and songs that don't work. And once in a while, I'll finish a listening session and all my songs are fine. Then I turn the device on later that day to listen to more music but most or all of my songs say "Unknown" for the title. I cannot figure out what causes the device to do this but I do know that it causes me to get pissed. Good luck getting video on it because I can't get mine to take ANY video. But in the devices favor, it has a nice bright screen, easy user interface, and good battery life. I just wish it wasn't so buggy so I could listen to music easily! Don't listen to people who say it's not loud enough because that all depends on your earbuds/headphones. I have some Philips earbuds that are so loud, I can only turn the volume up to one. But overall, just don't buy this, get a Creative or something.

Customer Reviews

Great product for the price
this is a nice product for the price. The sound quality is very good. I bought this and one with the color screen and am happy with both

I'm happy!
This is my first experience with an MP3 and I am very pleased. It is easy to load and operate. I sometimes have trouble with the toggle switch and getting the music to start but it could be me, as my wife seems to have no problem with it. I recommend this product.

like it
It is really good for the price.
The 2 GB size is great, especially with the FM radio built in.
Will someone please make one with AM as well.

I do wish that it had a clip on the back in addition to the eye on the top.

You really need a rechargable battery with it.
It goes through the single AAA battery fairly quickly

Good Value
Good Overall Player, Good Price, Very easy to use, Good FM Tuner and Recorder function that few players have. Only complaints are: 1- the headphones are too big to fit my ears, the cable tends to get very tangled, there is no quick release of the headphone leash to the player
2-The armband came in a cream color that did not match in my opinion the player color, black would have been better
