Sansa e260 review
SanDisk is now one of the best known quality brend for flash drivers and memory cards! They have put on the market one of the best MP3 players in the world. Yes, I know there are many famous brands like samsung, creative, and iPod as well...
But the best ratio of price and quality is e260!! If you want really good sound , solid performance, nice design and NORMAL price you must at least consider to check Sansa e260
Don`t want an expensive iPod , try with SanDisk. If you are interested on this review keep reading and find more benefits of this product as well as it`s disadvantages.
The e200 series have been inspirational for Sansa crew and the result is one of the best MP3 players on market! The whole line produced big sucess for the company.
Design :
Sansa`s e260 design is a sleek, thin with a large 1.8" TFT color screen for easy viewing. In the front are keys which are very easy to navigate with. Now , the good thing is that casing is metal so e260 is scratch resistant!
It is a quite small device, that is one reason more why is so popular!
(3.5 x 1.7 x 0.5 inches ; 2.6 ounces)
Ok, now about keys!
E260 has scroll wheels instead of touch screen. And that some people can find as disadvantage, but I don`t see that way. While using device, it glows blue under wheels. Nice! Can you see that with touch screen? Many sucessful products have scroll wheels on their "keyboard" so as iPod 1G...Are the keys one that making better sound quality or better device performance ? No I don`t think so! Do you?
What to say about back of e260?
What is there to say...this is the area most sensitive to fingerprints. But there is metal casing that is protecting device of scratching!
Key use:
This device consist six keys that are surrounded by scroll wheels.
Press:
Up - Play/pause
Left- Previous/Rewind
Right- forward
Down- submenue
It is probably confusing that power key have two functions. First of corse to turn the device on. Second is not that usual. It is to navigate to main menu!
The Sansa e260 will play MP3, WMA, and secure WMA formats. Other formats can be converted using the Sansa Media Converter (included with package).
So it makes this device very popular. The user interface is very friendly and easy to use.
E260 can be a video player as well. You can convert all types of video to MJPEG by using SanDisk Media Converter . It is fast and easy!!
Now you can watch your favorite videos anytime.
On this solid device you can watch images, because it supports almost any image format. And the beautiful part here is that picture quality is pretty nice! Of corse it is not a camera, but for a player picture quality is solid!
You can record voice or just listen the radio stations on your e260. This is very practical.
Transfering files:
Transfering files can be very quickly done. Quite easy as well. The best way to transfer files to your player is by using drag and drop techices!
For example:
200 MB you can copy to your player for about minute and 10 seconds! Nice!
Let see the disadvantage here:
If you want to listen to DRM'd music, including those of services like Napster To Go, Yahoo Music Unlimited, and Rhapsody To Go, you can find transfer of files slow! It can be frustrating!
OK, the conclusion...
If you want solid performance quality sound device you can chose between many brands like iPod, samsung, SanDisk....etc. If you want quality replace for expensive iPod read this review again.But if you want all that I have written on this review and much more for NORMAL price it is vise to at least consider
Sansa e260 as your option!!!
Thanks for reading this review. I hope it helped you!
