Great but freezes at times

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 29, 2008

Pros: size,sound,almost everything

Cons: it freezes up sometimes

I've had this for a few months and it worked great until last week.I was listening to a song and right after the song ended it just froze.i freaked out a little then i just removed the battery,then waited a few seconds,popped the battery back in and turned it back on and it worked fine...five minutes later and it freezes again.So again I take out the battery and put it back in and turn it on.It's a bit irritating but I guess I can deal.Overall,this is awesome just a few problems with it.

Great Mp3 Player

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 27, 2008

Pros: Sound Great

Cons: Earphone is not so great

Got this little wonder @ woot.com for $20.00 (refurb) but oh boy this is such a deal.
Even though this is a refurn it looks like a brand new and performs as it should be.
The only cons I have for this is the earphone that came with it, it's a little short on my expectation but not a big deal as I bought another earphone that satisfy me.

Pretty good

By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 16, 2008 | 2 out of 2 found this SanDisk Sansa c250 review helpful

Pros: Real portable, great volume easy to operate

Cons: The internal port for the head phones malfunctioned

The Sansa is great, however I had purchased this device only about a year ago, and the headphone port was not delivering the sound to the headphones correctly. (Maybe it was only mine who knows).... in any case, overall, it's a good product.

Perfect, But Troublesome

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 11, 2008

Pros: Great sound and battery life

Cons: Difficulty in synching with Windows Vista

After reading the reviews, I thought this player would be a perfect alternative to an over-priced iPod. After 3.5 months of use, I can say it is in every respect but one or two.

My first MP3 player, I use it on my daily drive to and from work - a total of 2 hours and fifteen minutes - and I need only charge it once a week!

Sound quality is A+, and I have it hooked up to an adapter that will allow it to play through my tape deck. The player has it's own equalizer, which allows for coustom settings. It can hold around 400 songs.

FM radio and voice/radio recording are nice features, though I never use them. I have a camera to look at photos, so I find the photo viewing capability pointless, especially since the player has a 1"x2.5" screen. Otherwise, text is easily readable.

The cons: Unless your songs are impeccably tagged for artist, song, title and genre, they will be mis-catagorized. If you transfer a folder containing all the songs of an album, don't expect to find them when looking under "Albums" unless each of them were correctly tagged, as the player does not categorize songs by the folder you put them in. This, I find, is forgivable.

What is unforgivable is that every time I hook up the player to the USB port, my Windows Vista operating system recognizes it, then disconnects it seconds later about 10-30 times before making a stable connection. This is aggravating, and makes me want to buy a new player as soon as I have thee money for one.

Good buy, not so good Life

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 30, 2008

Pros: Price, sound, portability

Cons: Life

This was my first MP3 player and I was very excited, However after adding about 80 songs to it, it froze up and stopped working. I thought I could at least get a few years out of it but I only got a few days worth. Well it was good while it lasted.

A useless piece of crap

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 5, 2008

Pros: sounded good when it worked for 2 minutes

Cons: stopped working after 2 minutes

I am a gadget saavvy person, I am not some klutz who breaks everything he puts his hands on - I am always cautious with my gadgetry and have never had a problem with most products - except every sandisk product I have ever purchased.

This C250 is my latest one. I got it connected to my computer, started copying songs, and then after about 20 minutes of copying, I got a message that the player was no longer connected. Odd, because it was, but OK. So I disconnect it and then test the songs I've got on it. It sounded really nice. So I reconnected it, and started copying more songs. Again, I got the not connected message, and I can't copy anymore. This time, though, when I disconnected it, the screen says it's still connected and now I can't shut it off!

This is a piece of garbage. If this was the first time I'd had trouble with a sandisk product, I just chalk it up to bad luck, but I have had 3 items from sandisk crap out on me now... and the third time is a charm - I'm not buying anything from them again. I suggest you consider doing the same.

Awesome features for college students

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 13, 2007 | 1 out of 1 found this SanDisk Sansa c250 review helpful

Pros: Everythings is awesome

Cons: nothing

Recently, I bought my mp3 player to replace my old one that took AAA batteries. I also like the fact that it has a voice recorder for college students. I had a voice recorder that was also using too many AAA bateries. I also love the features of the FM radio and slide show. I can put pictures in my mp3 player. It has a 15 hr. battery life.

Good Quality

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 25, 2007

Pros: great battery, very portable

Cons: trouble with playing certain mp3 files

Overall a very good choice. Very good battery, very portable and versatile. My only problems are concerning physical esterior. The frame itself seems to be a bit cheap, not very solid, and I did recieve a couple of scratches on the screen. (This may just be from frequent use) Great mp3 player though and always reliable.

good value

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 10, 2007

Pros: sound quality except for some hitches

Cons: crappy manual

For the money, you get a very good MP3 player. The sound quality is excellent if you play around with the custom equalizer. Get rid of the earbuds and invest $15 in some earphones. There is a huge difference when you do that!
Lately, though, the left channel has cut out on a few songs. I downloaded a firmware update and that seems to have fixed things, although that only happened a day ago, so I wonder if there is a problem long term. I notice other users have experienced the same thing. I don't use it for photos, so have nothing to say about that.
For a 61-year-old geezer like me, the manual was useless. It assumes you know a few terms, which I didn't - such as syncronizing. Only my sons were able to advise me on that. And I had to email because of a few other things I didn't know.
A lot of it is intuitive, though. But make sure you've got someone in the current electronic generation to ask questions!
Other than that, it has been a good buy.
