Advantages: Good overall quality in most aspects, compact

Disadvantages: Doe not support wide range of operating systems, small display screen, only supports WIndows

Even the name, "Sandisk Sansa Express" gives the player a modern and chic feel, without even looking at the player. When you do open you eyes, you will be pleased with the player's futuristic styling with illuminated controls.

This small and compact player still comes with a wide range of extra functions. Its is shaped like a pack of chewing gum, with the USB connection placed on the bottom of the player it is secured and concealed by a removable cover. This makes it convenient because it does not require any additional cables, however a USB extension cable is optional if the USB ports on computer are placed in an awkward place which is hard to reach or a place which would have a great risk of accidently kicking or knocking into the player whilst it is connected hence breaking it.

In addition to the solid state memory, you can also increase the capacity of the player by simply adding a memory card into the built in memory card slot. It even has a radio and the capability to record it directly.

When using the supplied headphones, the sound quality is not astonishing, but it does perform reasonably well. Upon using an additional pair of headphones, there was a greater frequency response. The player is compatible with a wide range of audio file formats, including WAV, MP3, WMA and DRM. Its file transfer rate is quite good, taking about 4.1 seconds to transfer 10 megabytes of audio files.

The menu structure is well designed and laid out, despite its small buttons it is still a user friendly player. The track information is only suited to displaying track information and it does not support audio. It is still difficult to read the information given its screen size.



Its battery stamina is decent, on average providing 21 hours of continuous audio playback.

Summary: This player is one of the best for purely listening to music, during sports, due to its compact size
