SanDisk C250 Customer Reviews

"Pink is Perfect!! ^ ^"

its pretty hard to go to the menu sometimes. but when you get use to it, its better. its easy to use. because there arent many buttons to press. i love it. its more of a kid mp3 player. its pretty smaller than it looks like on the picture. its screen is ok. but when it comes to choosing a song, the letters are kinda small.
the sound is great. you can record stuff and the radio is for everyone. its good

"Excellent choice for audio books"
I use the product for audio books. After I broke the first one (my fault), I immediatly purchased another. It is very good about remembering where you were in a book and resuming from that point. My only criticism is that it uses a specialized USB cable rather than a standard mini -- but I have 2 cables now.

"For the price a great product!"
This is my second one to buy---my first one was stolen from my truck---easy to load music, sound quality is good for the price. I have greatly enjoyed it!

"Good MP3 Player"
I already own a Sansa c250 v1, but bought another one so I could have a spare data cable and battery, etc., but I didn't know if this one would be a v1 or v2. I really didn't care which one it was, but it turned out to be a v1, so I'll be able to loadup RockBox on it as well, so now basically I have two Sansa c250 (v1), so that's kinda cool.

First thing, the one I just received had three scratches diagonally on the screen. The SanDisk logo on the back is severely rubbed off. I thought this was a new product, but anyway I really don't care, cause as I said before I only needed it for spare parts. But had it been my only one I'd most likely would be a bit unhappy about it, the price is not relevant when it comes down to the condition of the product. Had the seller stated it was used or refurbished, I'd be okay with it, but supposedly it was new, so I expected it too look it.

But the player itself is to my liking, I've had my first one since mid-2008, and I like it and it still work great. I installed RockBox on it and it's even better. I have 8gb mini card (which it now recognizes w/RockBox installed). It is a low profile player, nothing flashy, except if you get a color version. Otherwise it's kind of the workman's version of an MP3 player and just does its work. Earbud is cheap and easily falls out, you'll want better.

Price is good. Battery is okay, not great. Sound is good.

Final Thought: When buying new MP3 player, you should always consider whether the player supports RockBox or other open source software, open source tend to have better continues support for updates and patches, so it's worth the time to stick with ones that support it and also you'll be cool with the geeks, I mean come on, playing DOOM on this thing, is absolutely unnecessary, and a waste of time, but way awesome because you can!

Coby MP-CD521 Customer Reviews

"This portable player plays MP3 cd files!!!!!"
I really like this player because I am now able to listen to the MP3 files I bought online from an old time radio website. I can now hear Little Orphan Annie which has like fifty odd episodes on one cd. I am able to pick up where I left off the last time I listened. I don't have to start over from the very beginning as some people complain about. The instructions are very clear and if you read them you won't have a problem. I only wish I had an AC adapter as they suggest you use one while listening at home so not to wear out the battery. What is also cool about this player is that you can use rechargeable batteries and the player will recharge the batteries for you when you flip a certain button. How cool is that?
Very cool! : ) By the way [...] has loads of old time radio shows and broadcasts if you are curious.

"Nice Personal CD Player!"
Great CD player if a person is looking for one, only thing it's missing, in my opinion, is a way to strap it to ones self hands free.

"Good Value"
All in all a good value of form and function. Only two digs... 1) the lack of an AC charger in the box (you'll need to go the rechagreable battery route otherwise) 2) the display screen is very small, making some of the indicators so small that it is hard to clearly see them if your are not in perfect lighting.

"cheapo CD player"
Ok value for the cheap price. Good enough for the purpose I bought it for.
the attached earphones should be replaced w/ better ones, sound of the incl ones is really tinny.

SanDisk SDMX10R-008GK-A57 Customer Reviews

"Decent purchase"
Sound quality is marginal at best. Radio is not always clear indoors. Both of these qualities are not the sellers fault however. Great purchase for a decent product.

"Best bargain MP3 player PERIOD"
Other competing players are $100-$200. This has great sound quality, a nice screen and lets not forget INCREDIBLE battery life. 15 minutes of charge I'll spend hours at the gym. The expansion card slot for a micro SD gives you a great opportunity to fit more media (music movies ect.) and its even got radio. Mine has lasted through mountain biking, running in the rain, the gym, drops, mud all sorts of things you may or may not put your MP3 player through. My buddy just recently broke the screen but the player still works! It actually took a lot to even break the screen so Id say its durable. Mine lasted 2-3 years and it was approximately 120 for the 16GB when it came out I believe. Talk about a great product.

Con: Freezing. Probably every other time I use it I would experience slow reaction just as other users posted. You try to change the song and the screen is locked and wont move but the tunes keep going. If im really impatient ill turn it off and power it back up, takes little time. Just a minor inconvenience.

Bottom Line: I used to work retail and the number of expensive IPODS I would see come in was REDICULOUS. My Scan disk player lasted almost 3 and would have gone longer had someone physically not smashed it. IPODS are smooth in operation, spiffy looking and can hold alot of media granted.. But there methods of loading media is proprietary (Itunes) and I have seen a high turn around percentage with their units.

This is EASILY the best $50-$60 unit you can buy hands down.

"Good value that delivers as promised"
The Altec Lansing im310 is a good machine. It is not going to sound like a high end stereo system, but for the money it puts out good sound, is easy to operate, and is worth buying. I read a lot of reviews before buying and all those who said good things about it were right on.

"If you own an Ipod--You need this!!!"
The quality of the sound is excellent. It works very well on batteries. Simple to use. I enjoy hours of music.

"Just what I was looking for"
Although the sound doesn't compare to a home stereo, the price doesn't either. That being said, the sound is perfect for a smaller area, (I use mine with an inverter in my delivery truck) the sound is fine and clear, about what you would expect for a lower priced boom box. It plays and charges my I-Pod classic as I use it. If I had to purchase another, I would really consider getting another Altec Lansing iM310

"Best iPod Dock"
This iPod dock/speaker system came recommended by friends and I haven't been disappointed. The sound is great and one of the best features is it charges my iPod at the same time. Many other systems I looked at didn't do this.

"mp3 speaker"
This little speaker system is easy to take to work and play all my music. I love it.

"Excellent lttle speakers!"
I bought these for my Fiance'e, I tried them out and they're decently loud and have very high quality sound. I think they will be great for her.

"bearhug"
These ar incredible. I took a chance trying thesse because the price was so low. But I am very impressed. Their compact and lightweight and the sound is plenty fine to listen to in my car or at home.

"You Get What You Pay For (and a little more)"
I wanted a little pair of speakers that I could use throughout my apartment while cleaning or doing chores without blasting my other speakers that have a subwoofer and tons of bass. These little speakers do the job. For $2, I must admit I wasn't expecting much, yet I am very pleased with them. These speakers are quite loud for their size and are lightweight and portable. I can't imagine what anyone else could want for the price. And, as an added bonus, this little pair of speakers will help me live peacably with my neighbors and keep them from banging a whole through the wall.

"Cheap but works quite well."
Just as expected no maybe better....didn't expect much and got more than expectations. Fuze works fine on it though upside down as some people complain about it. We will take it along camping and maybe just setting outside on patio. We aren't quite into the tiny MP3 players as the younger generations. But getting there sort of. We don't walk around with it stuck in our ear via earphones but do find it interesting to take along on our long car rides to town as in 180 miles round trip. Our rural neck of the woods has no radio reception most of the time either. So have car system that plays through car radio. That works ok but not great too. This little tyke speaker system is so cute and so cheap and we'll use it now and again but not a lot of the time. Sound is not great but not bad by any means. (At our ages maybe it's our hearing that's not so great:))) Works for us though and that's the bottom line and wasn't over priced from this seller. However you can pay more for it here on Amazon if you like and it's the same exact item so shop and compare then come back here and pick it up.

"It works great"
I had to remove the ear fixation things but after that it worked great.
It takes some getting used to but this is so far the best thing I have tried!

"So happy to have good tunes underwater!"
Didn't like how clunky the other types looked, so I gave this one a try. I removed the plastic piece that goes over the ears after the first swim, and they worked so much better after that! Just put in the earpieces right and they stay in fine. I haven't done flipturns or freestyle yet after a month's use, so I'll have to update this review later on. Music quality is no Bose, but definitely loud and clear! Battery is still on first charge after 5+ 30 min. swims.

"I LOVE my Speedo Aquabeat!"
My Aquabeat arrived in the mail on Friday. I am not particularly computer savvy, but I was easily able to convert my iTunes music to MP3 format and load songs onto the Aquabeat. I hadn't been in the pool for a year... (I did the Alcatraz swim in September 2008)... I just couldn't bear the thought of doing those laps anymore. I swam for 45 minutes on both Saturday and Sunday mornings and I CAN'T WAIT to swim again! I LOVE MY SPEEDO AQUABEAT!

"overpriced gimmick"
you are basically buying a below average quality mp3 player and headphones for triple the normal price, simply because they added a few rubber gaskets that do a fair job of protecting the headphone connection and speakers. setup and operation are pretty simple and intuitive. the unit is larger than necessary presumable so it can float and be controlled without having to look at it. at least it works while lap swimming and is bare able to wear for brief 30-60min durations - but only time will tell if moisture actually ruins it prematurely.

"Lap swimming is so much less boring!"
This is such a great product and I was amazed by how good the sound is. Everyone knows how boring lap swimming is--nothing to see, nothing to hear. But boy have my workouts now changed with this mp3 player! I would totally recommend this (and have) to every swimmer I know!

"Great Item!"
Great value - love the long battery life - I can use it all day at work and still have battery life to spare

"Best mp3 ever!"
I'm 17 and recently bought the 8gb mp3 player. Oh my god, it's amazing. I opened up the package and there wasn't a bunch of papers that were confusing. Everything was simple and to the point. I turned it on and it already had a semi-charged battery. I played around with it without reading the instructions, and it's super user friendly. I plugged it into my computer and didn't even use the software to put music onto it, I just did the drag and drop method. It took about an hour to get all my music loaded onto it. I unplugged it and I swear, the battery was entirely charged. I listened to my mp3 player from noon until midnight, and it was still pretty much all the way charged. I've been able to fit all the music I want on it, and not have to pick and choose favorites.

For the screen protection I got some old cell phone screen protectors and stuck one to the screen. It worked just fine. I decided that I didn't really like it just going into my purse without some kind of protection, so I made a duct tape holder. Kind of like a duct tape wallet. It works just fine in protecting it. I will probably be buying one of the actual skins to go with it, but for now the duct tape holder is working perfectly.

"Zen MX"
Have nothing but good things to say very happy sounds great I use it all the time.Also hook up in car via headphone jack it just sounds great in the car and I'm spending alot of time listen to music I have loaded on Zen gives me a chance to really enjoy the music I have. Great item for price.

"Sharp picture, little package"
Bought this model to replace an older model portable DVD player. Great picture, much lighter weight and longer battery life than my old model. Took it on a car trip. My kids' only complaint is that the sound wasn't as loud as the old model. Everything else exceeded my expectations, especially for the price.

"Coby DVD"
Very neat product. Great for a gift. many accesories that make it a good buy. Plays DVD's neatly with no jumps. Plays music OK.

"Great Product! Super Price!"
I bought this portable DVD for the purpose of entertaining my small children on road trips, it serves the purpose perfectly! Easy enough for my 7 year old to operate while I drive, large enough for both girls to see, and loud enough for both girls to hear without headphones. Does not skip and I have not had any problems with it. I purchased a DvdDr 70200 00 Portable DVD Player Car Mount to go along with it, it installs in seconds and can be taken down just as easily to place under the seat during stops. I highly recommend this product.

"Not for children"
This is an amazing little and inexpensive dvd player but my unit only lasted 7 months and was used very little beware.I wouldnt buy this unit for children as it is cheaply made and could damage it easily.Im hoping the company will replace my unit as it is not even one year old.Otherwise it was a great travel dvd player while it lasted.
