Reviewed By Our Editors

Take the groove anywhere you move with the refurbished Sandisk Sansa e260 4GB MP3/MP4 Player. You need not spend much on high-end music players just to experience top-notch music. It has a large screen display, cool features, excellent battery life, expandable memory and easy-to-navigate button interface for your convenience.

This little wonder could fit in your pocket, so you can take it anywhere you would like to take the music with you. Its sleek and elegant design is more than what meets the eye. The functionality of the buttons blends well with the simplicity of the Sandisk Sansa e260 4GB MP3/MP4 Player.

It has five buttons with unique functions, and is equipped with a thumbwheel with a central button for easier navigations through your songs. Four buttons surround the thumb wheel, and a separate button for the power button. The power button also takes you to the main menu. If you want uninterrupted music enjoyment, you’ll love the hold switch of this music player. There’s also a dedicated record button for voice recordings – readily available for your convenience.

The scroll wheel, in fact, is one of its convenient features. In choosing a song, you don’t have to deal with touch-sensitive pads but a mechanical scroll wheel. The texture of this mechanical wheel is impressive since the wheel is not that sensitive to any kind of touch, thus you can precisely choose the music you want. There’s even a blue light illuminating the player everytime you use the scroll. This makes for easier access in darker room settings.

Its glossy black finish is scratch resistant, and the back of the player is made out of a liquid metal which has proven itself to be as hard as aluminum or titanium alloy.

Navigation is made easier by the excellent display of the Sandisk Sansa e260. The images on the 1.8-inch display are very luminous, sharp and easy to read. Plus, the player supports video playback, so you can watch your most-loved video clips instantly on this player.

Browsing through the player is a real breeze. The list of options in the main menu is icon-based, and you’ll probably stumble upon different options like Music, FM Radio (yes, it has an FM player!), Photo, Settings, Voice, and Video. Surfing through the sub-menus is uncomplicated at all, nice and snappy.

Pressing the Submenu button (the one below the scroll wheel) when you're listening to music takes you into menu where you can find options to Repeat, Shuffle, EQ, Rate This Song, Scan Through Song, Add Song to Go List, and Back to Music List. Volume is adjusted by turning the scroll wheel. Pressing the center Select Button while you're listening to a song toggles the display between the amount of time the song has left, a graphic EQ, album art, and a listing for whatever song is next up in the queue. You can upload music in your player without breaking a sweat at all. Two steps: plug, then play. Yeah. It’s as simple as that. You need not download any complicated programs to fill your playlist. Fill your player with music (and videos and pictures) in a snap.

The 4GB is enough to store at least a thousand songs. Imagine taking 1000 favorite tracks anywhere you go. And if you think 4GB is not enough (i.e. you really love music), then you can thank the Sandisk Sansa e260 4GB MP3/MP4 Player’s support for miniSD/transflash cards. Yes, you can actually expand that 4GB memory with a flash card. What’s cooler? The battery is replaceable and rechargeable, so you don’t have to worry about drained batteries and spoiled music enjoyment.

The Sandisk Sansa e260 4GB MP3/MP4 Player is anything but standard. It is equipped with fine features. It is durable enough for everyday use and the sound quality is superb. To top that, you need not spend a lot of bucks for this feature-rich product.
