Pros

Easy to use, good battery life and nice design are just a few of the good things that people have had to say. Sound quality and price ran a close second with the e280 running $100 on Amazon.

Record your favorite song from the radio then transfer it to your cell phone via the SD memory card. Or move that song a friend blue toothed you over to the e280 Sansa.

Cons

The player did receive a few negatives from raters. Headphones again rank in the number one slot for complaints, maybe the manufacturers should quit adding headphones and invest that money in more features, people throw them away and buy better ones anyway.

The SD slot is placed precariously close to the record button, someone was not thinking clearly on that design aspect of the e280 Sansa. You run the risk of recording when you insert or remove the card.

Other issues included cover art display and playlist editing. For the most part functionality was only an issue in a handful of cases.

Customer Ratings

Amazon has logged over 700 reviews for the e280 Sansa and of those 569 were very positive. People loved the quality of the build, metal back plate, and the buttons were easy to use even for large guys with big hands.

Most were impressed with the inclusion of the radio tuner though it must be said that today that is standard practice with many mp3 players.

Overall

Bottom line if you want a stylish mp3 player for around $100 this is a good one. You might be able to score one of similar size and design overseas but the quality would be less than optimal. The e280 Sansa is a solid mp3 player that customers have rated very well.
