Sansa Mp3 2GB

Mp3 players are constantly evolving adding features and accessories. While they continue to evolve, something else moves up as well and that is price. From $19.95 for a basic cheap mp3 player to hundreds of dollars for more sophisticated models the possibilities are endless.

For the person on the go who wants a simple player with room for their favorite music a good option is the Sansa mp3 2Gb player. Small enough to slide in a pocket and equipped with flash memory for stability during activity, it is a good player for the average person or an active young person.

Features of the Sansa mp3 2Gb C250

As mentioned above this player has flash memory as opposed to hard drive based. What that boils down to is there are no moving parts within your player to be damaged by extreme activity. Other features include:

2 GB memory capable of storing 1,000 songs
Built in radio tuner
Mp3, WMA and WAV compatible
Removable lithium ion battery
SD slot for expandable memory
Voice recorder

Pros

Small size makes this player handy to take anywhere. The Sansa mp3 2Gb also went the extra mile and included a SD slot to expand the memory capability, as if a thousand songs were not enough!

The removable lithium ion battery is one of the best ideas yet in mp3 players. Too many companies neglect this and leave you in the cold when your battery dies. With the Sansa mp3 2Gb, you can simply carry an extra on long trips extending you music pleasure.

Accidentally bumping a button will not stop the music; instead, it “wakes” the machine and lets the music continue to play. A great feature for a player you carry in your pocket.

Price is less than half of the competition, namely the IPod Nano.

Cons

The Sansa mp3 2Gb C250 only comes with a USB charger. You can invest in a portable house or car charger but it would have been nice if one had been included. Probably part of the reasoning for the removable battery.

Screen resolution could be better; the contrast level is quite low so it makes it difficult to see the features you are selecting.

Customer Ratings

Customers are very happy with the sound of the Sansa mp3 2Gb as well as the value. The controls are simple to use and the overall function is great. Some more savvy customers would have preferred more advanced options however, the player still ranked well with them.

Overall

Good player at a great price and is currently in stock on both Amazon and TigerDirect. Pricing is holding steady at under $40 and many times you can get free shipping. For the average person wanting music on the go this is the perfect choice.
