 Awesome product!Nov 22, 2009
I love this thing! The price was great, all the features are awesome, I think it looks great and the sound quality is outstanding! And if you aren't happy with the sound, it has a customizable eq so you can make it sound however you want!
Unfortunately, someone lost my e280 so I upgraded to the Fuze for less money! I loved the e280 but am happier with the Fuze. It has all the same features as this one but has a slightly bigger screen and a better control wheel, in my opinion.

Second unit owned after dropping one in Salt Water. Great capacity, solid feel and easy to use. Battery is easily replaced. Works easily with Windows, files can be loaded via file manager as a removable hard drive or via Windows Media player.
 SanDisk Sansa e280Sep 09, 2009
This was the second SanDisk I puchased - one for use for home/gym and the other for work. I really liked the first SanDisk I purchased, so I purchased a second. However, it appears that the second player did not have all of the features of the first player e.g. I cannot delete a song from the player, I have to use the computer. Also, using the play list on the second player is not as user friendly as the first player - just little quirks - I had expected the same features on both.
Good product for a good priceAug 28, 2009
I wanted an mp3 player that was not beholden to proprietary sources of music, one that had a lot of space on it, and one that was not too expensive. In this Sandisk Sansa e280, I got all my wishes. With 8 gigs on board it can hold quite a lot of music, which is my main use for it. As I was shopping for this, I noticed it was one of the less expensive choices, yet the reviews are positive. This is a case where inexpensive does not mean cheap or poorly made. It is small, lightweight, with a long-lasting battery. It comes with earphones, but probably most people would want better ones than those that are bundled.
Great little mp3 playerAug 02, 2009
I bought my Sansa about a year ago now, and I have been more than happy with it. It's a lightweight, durable little player that has withstood quite a beating from me and is still running great.
Pros:
-Long battery life. I can go for a few weeks without charging it (though I don't use it continuously). Also, the removable battery is a nice feature.
-Lightweight. It is super lightweight, and fits in any pocket comfortably. It's easy to forget it's there!
-Filetypes. The player accepts pretty much any audio filetype you throw at it.
-FM radio/voice recorder. This is a feature that is really handy to have, and one that some companies have never incorporated into their players.
-Rugged. I've dropped this thing more times than I can remember, and there's still hardly a scratch on it.
-Memory. The 8GB of memory is plenty to keep a good representation of any music library on it. And if that's not enough, the microSD slot make expanding it up to 24 GB super easy.
-Windows. The player is super easy to use with Windows. Just plug it in, and it is automatically detected.
Cons:
-Interface. The interface isn't as intuitive as an iPod's. Scrolling through long lists of songs or artists can be tiring, as the scroll speed doesn't increase the longer or faster you spin the scroll wheel.
-Linux. Trying to sync with Linux is slow, and not immediately available.
-USB charging. The lack of an AC wall charger is annoying on long trips when no USB is available. However, the long battery life pretty much makes up for this.
-Headphones. The included Sansa headphones are terrible. Look into getting a new pair. I'd suggest the Sony Fontopia headphones.
-Proprietary plug. Much like the iPod, the Sansa has a proprietary cable that only works with the Sansa. If you lose this, you're SOL.
I purchased my Sansa for $75 on clearance. It was easily one of the best $75 purchases I have ever made.
