SanDisk Sansa Fuze+ Review

8 GB MP3 Player  7.5/10

By


8 GB MP3 PlayerA tiny, feather-light MP3 player, this SanDisk Sansa Fuze+ is about the size of a credit card, making it easy to carry around in a pocket. The 8 GB version holds up to 2,000 songs or 24 hours of video, and it conveniently picks up FM radio. A voice recorder comes in handy if you need to record a lecture or to-do reminders. While the Sansa Fuze+ doesn’t have the capabilities of an Apple or Zune product, it doesn’t pretend to. The plastic construction is not solid or scratch-proof, but for an easily portable, inexpensive ($74.32) device, it serves its basic purpose quite well.
