Customer Reviews

great low cost MP3 player
I have two of these players and have purchased two as gifts. I was surprised at the sound quality for the price. It does not have a color screen or fancy do dads. What it does have is an easy to use interface and plenty of extra features like an equalizer, FM radio, and customizable settings.

The only downside is the durability of the housing. This will not stand up to much abuse. I've had mine for a year + now though and have not had any trouble.

The major deciding factor for my purchase (besides price) was that it is powered by a AA battery. These are easy to buy, carry and change out. I did not want a player that had to be charged at a computer or special dock. I have been very happy with this player.

scandisk sansa m250 2 gb
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.

It would be Great if it only turned on
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.
