SanDisk Sansa Fuze Reviews

LetsGoMobile reviews the SanDisk Sansa Fuze and writes;

“The 1.9 inch screen of the Sansa Fuze plays videos very clearly. Even though the screen is on the small side, watching a video is still very pleasant on the Fuze MP3. The SanDisk Sansa Fuze supports the MPEG5 format, although it remains unclear in what compression. If you want to convert a movie to the Sansa format, I’d advise you to use the Sansa Media Converter in order to ensure you are able to play the movie on the Fuze. On top of that, you will obtain the best video quality…”

Trustedreviews reviews the SanDisk Sansa Fuze and writes;

“The Fuze steadily improves with the inclusion of an FM tuner – one that works pretty well too – and memory expansion in the shape of a microSD card slot. The nano boasts neither feature. The Fuze also has an external mic so you can turn it into a dictaphone or basic podcast recorder, and one more area where the Fuze has the nano beat is in its flexibility. It’s compatible with both MSC and MTP methods of file transfer…”

“The first thing I noticed and was pleasantly surprised by, was the improved responsiveness of the UI. It really breathed new life into the Sansa interface making much more usable all around, even though it is more or less the same UI as before…”

CNET reviews the SanDisk Sansa Fuze and writes;

The good: The SanDisk Sansa Fuze is supercheap and nicely compact; it comes in a variety of colors and has an expansion slot that accepts microSDHC cards. The player offers a variety of desirable features such as an FM tuner, Rhapsody DNA integration, photo and video support, a voice recorder, and FLAC and OGG playback. Plus, the battery life for both music and video is very good.”

Sansa Fuze by Eli
Rating: ★★★★★

“..FM radio is a great feature. You may have all the music you want, but sometimes it is nice to listen to the news or hear new music. And just in case you hear something you like, it can be recorded and played back on your fuze.The navigation is straight forward and things load very fast. The battery life is great at about 24 hours when listening to music. I have not watched many movies at this point so I can’t give an estimate for viewing time…”

“This little player is a bargain. Your going to be hard pressed to find another 8gb player with these features at this price. Very nice build quality, above average user interface. Above all the sound quality is stellar judging by 320kbps tracks I used on it. Good soundstage, full & neutral…”

The best MP3 player for the money,by Doc Stew
Rating: ★★★★★

“..The absolute best part about the Fuze is the microSD slot. I have the 8 GB player, and an 8 GB micro SDHC card inserted which gives me a 16 GB mp3 player for 70 dollars!! You canNOT find another mp3 player with that kind of memory for that kind of money. Period.
I use this with my Rhapsody-to-go subscription. It works perfectly with Rhapsody, and even has an option to transfer Rhapsody channels on it (radio type stations with a ton of different music that Rhapsody thinks you would like based on your previous selections). Superb …”
