"OK 4 PRICE but need some tweak"
Pros: cheap price, big screen, lightweight.
Cons: so-so sound quality, slow startup, slow responce, no bass.
Summary: the sansa is great value 4 money but being a budget device it suffers from poor sound quality. its so poor in stock form that even my palmone tungsten e handheld sound better with the same headphones and song(compression rate and frequency).
on this device to get the best quality is to get a pair of rock headphones or earphones. i use a panasonic headphone from my lod walkmen. its suits it better than my newer sony ones.
then step 2, put all values in the EQ to the max
step 3, turn on wow, and put focus to what ever suits your music. then put true bass to one value. after that put 3d sound to 3-4 value. these settings are a guide only you might need to make final tweaks to suit yourself.
in low focus mode the base of the sansa is nearly comparable to the ipod shuffle (wit same headphones).
i had this unit for one week aand its alright with me. with audio quality is not a big concern for the casual listener like me then this is the perfect mp3 player. it also have a one week battery life for light to moderate use.
its an outstanding product.Updated
i had it for 2 weeks now and dear i was wrong. if you put the EQ setting right the unit have better base then the ipod shuffle. so u would know what the sound quality is good. bad thing to say is that the supplied headphones is crap.
