SanDisk Sansa e140 MP3 player

Right here at Gizmogirl, SanDisk is the logical firm to purchase an mp3 participant from. It’s the Tupperware of the digital world, with an enormous vary of tiny containers for storing your digital junk. The corporate’s newest storage system is an mp3 participant with some good options and some drawbacks.

On the plus facet, the e140 model of the participant comes with 1GB of storage and a
card slot for SD playing cards. In case you already personal a bunch of SD playing cards, then you might have an MP3 participant with a storage degree solely restricted by the variety of playing cards you personal and their capability, for lower than £100.00. That is helpful if you wish to hearken to ebooks in your Sansa, use it to hold information apart from audio, in addition to simply being your MP3 participant.

Small and lightweight sufficient to suit into any pocket, the participant has a backlit 5 line show. 5 strains of textual content onscreen saves having to scroll proper to learn
info. There are many choices for sorting songs together with by artist,
album, music title, style, yr, date loaded and lately added. An AB function lets you choose a begin level and finish level and play that section again and again if you happen to like. We used it to be taught overseas langauge clips; helpful if you’re holidaying overseas.

As with SanDisk’s earlier MP3 gamers, no drivers are required and information could be
simply copied through USB 2.0 identical to a tough drive. The earphones that include the participant are far superior to what we count on from bundled telephones and a purpose to decide on the Sansa if you don’t already personal a good set. This can be a main plus as many suppliers select to chop corners on this space and in contrast to Apple, do not even cease to make them look modern as compensation for below-par sound.

There may be additionally a helpful radio as a substitute for your music. The digital FM tuner has 20 presets and picked up stations like BBC Radio 4 clearly in our checks.

Our fast take

On the draw back, the participant runs on an AAA battery. A battery indicator exhibits you ways a lot energy you might have left. We managed about 14 hours playback from one battery, which is sweet within the brief time period, however if you happen to’re a heavy person, the Sansa is, for my part, an environmentally unfriendly and finally costly choice.

Total, we won’t assist feeling that regardless of all its advantages this participant simply would not have the appears to be included in our bag each day. It’s small, mild and really moveable however feels a bit plasticky.
