CNET Reviews the SanDisk MP3 Player 512MB and gives it a ‘Good’ rating. They write – ‘Music and radio sound much better, though not great. We quickly ditched SanDisk’s painful hard-plastic earbuds in favor of our stock Shure E3c ‘buds, but even then, the DAP couldn’t compare with other players we tested. Music came through flat and muted, though certainly loud enough for noisy subways and the like.

While the Digital Audio Player isn’t a bad choice for the athletically inclined or those who have a hard time reading most flash-player screens, it has a few too many strikes against it for us to give a wholehearted recommendation. But for those looking for a bargain, the SanDisk Digital Audio player is ripe for the picking.’

hi-techreviews.com reviews the SanDisk MP3 Player 512MB and writes – ‘We get a lot of MP3 players across our desks. Some of them are really great. Some of them kinda suck. Things that I’ve always whined and complained about are the poor quality headphones that most players come with and the lack of expansion through some sort of memory slot. Well, it looks like we found something that might fit the bill. Sandisk, makers of all sorts of Flash Memory products got into the business of MP3 players a little while ago. Since then, they’ve made some changes along the way, and their latest series, the e1xx, shows a continuing evolution of their growing MP3 product category. I think they were just paying attention to our reviews, and keeping their ears open.’
