Manda Spring
If an Mp3 player is on your list, you have to read this first. Many places are selling these handy little gadgets for a pretty expensive price. So where do you go to find the cheap Mp3 players? Are there any that are really good? Does cheap mean both quality and price? Well, hopefully these questions and more will be answered during this article. I have comprised valuable data with reviews of both the 'selling market' and the customer. Cheap Mp3 Players: Models and Price
Below are the listed Mp3 models and what you can expect from the unit. The cost is present so you can determine what features you are willing to pay for and what ones you are not. All of the following Mp3 players are under $100 a piece and are a pretty good buy, this means they are far better than the ipod.
  • Sony Network Walkman NW-E505 -This Mp3 sells for around $60.00 . Its features include: The attractive size which equals to about the size of a child's glue stick or a bottle of fingernail polish. The battery lasts for an amazing 50 hours on average.
  • The Sandisk Sansa c150 -This Mp3 costs around $70.00 to purchase and it has an integrated FM stereo and a voice recorder. The sound is really good and has nice clarity.
  • The MobiBlu Cube 2 (1 GB) - This flirts with the $100 mark more closely than the others at $99.99. There are several fashionable colors to choose from, and this Mp3 works well with both Mac and PC's alike. The sound quality is far better that the other cheap Mp3's listed here.
  • SanDisk Sansa M240 1 GB MP3 Player- The battery on this Mp3 doesn't last very long but does give the average working capacity at 19-20 hours. It costs anywhere from $50-$80. Amazon.com seems the best place to find this and other cheap Mp3 devices.
Cheap Mp3 Players: Customer Reviews
The following are various reviews by the users who have been either very disappointed or very pleased with the purchase.
  • Sony Network Walkman NW-E505 MP3 Player- This device has had an overload of great reviews but one outstanding bad review has been about the software. The unit itself seems to be a wonderful player with superb sound quality but the software has more than its share of glitches.
  • The Sandisk Sansa c150 MP3 Player - This unit, so far, does not have any bad reviews. Many good reviews though from the size to the sound quality.
  • The MobiBlu Cube 2 (1 GB) MP3 Player- This product has great reviews except for the one that seems to be the only complaint … the customer service on this product is poor.
  • SanDisk Sansa M240 1 GB MP3 Player - Many reviews have stated that this specific model have come defective straight from the box. There have been, on the upside, many good reviews stating that the ones that do work are very good and the sounds quality is great. This is definitely a "buyer beware" moment. Be sure to get a warranty and receipt for those 'just in case' moments. With this Mp3 there are also many neat accessories.
