Advantages: Can increase memory capacity, user friendly

Disadvantages: Slow start up delay, tiny display screen, weights quite a lot

The Sansa e270's appearance brings sense of style and sophistication, the player's smooth finish colour catches your attention without being an eyesore. The slim and compact player is also constructed quite well and sturdily. Meaning that it is capable of withstanding the occasional knock or drop.

Its menu system is well designed and structured, combined with its tactile controls , the player is rather user friendly. In addition to the existing memory capacity that is build in, you can also increase it if required by adding a Micro SD card into the build in card slot. When using the supplied headphones, the sound quality is reasonable with nothing special, with equal balance between the two channels. Upon using an additional pair of headphones, the sound quality had more clarity and accuracy, especially when playing high notes.

It is quite simple and straightforward to access all the functions of the player. Its file transfer speed is quite fast, on average taking a mere 4.5 seconds to transfer 10 megabytes of audio files.
The battery stamina is also quite decent, providing up to 18 and a half hours of continuous audio playback from a full charge which takes around 2 and a half hours.

The display screen is quite small, despite the fact that the player supports both videos and pictures. You might find that you need to lower the resolution/quality of your photo, especially if they are high resolution or of a high megapixel, in order to view them on the player.

Summary: Slow start up delay, tiny display screen, weights quite a lot
