Several reviews below gave a low rating to the player's sound fidelity, but it sounds clear and rich to me on voice or music. My main for purpose for using it is voice Podcasts. I have been using my player for about three weeks.
There are two volume levels in the Settings. The highest volume in the default or low setting is not very high. This means any background noise can easily overshadow what is playing. Changing to the higher level is a distinct help when walking along the street or listening on an airliner. Several previous reviewers also complained about short battery life. The AAA alkaline battery that came with the unit gave out before its listed time, but it may have been weak from sitting on a shelf. The battery meter in the display does not give any reliable clue as to when the battery will fail. Always carry a spare...Read more 55 of 67 people found the following review helpful: By SL (RI) - See all my reviews This review is from: SanDisk Sansa c140 1 GB MP3 Player (Black) (Electronics) I bought the C140 solely for Rhapsody-to-Go music. It's cheap, ultra-portable and plays "to-go" music without any problems. In fact, the CD that comes with the C140 includes Rhapsody Jukebox software and required Windows Media Player 10. Set up was easy and navigation on the little tiny screen was fine (although graphics are not clear and appear in low-resolution). I wouldn't want to use it for viewing images which it is capable of. Having the FM is a plus. Everything was good until I listened to the music from Rhapsody. I used decent headphones, Sony MDR-V700. Unfortunately, the sound quality I was getting was not good enough. Volume was low so I had to crank it up high-and at a high volume level, there was too much distortion. Bass was boxy and mids and highs were tinny, fuzzy and weak. So I returned the C140 and purchased the Samsung YP-Z5. After using the Samsung, it was clear that it wasn't that the quality of the downloaded to-go music was bad-it was the quality of the c140. I...Read more 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful: This review is from: SanDisk Sansa c140 1 GB MP3 Player (Black) (Electronics) I bought this player mainly for its FM recording abilities. I have an Ipod that i use for most everything in my library. So for under $100 i thought this would be great for what i needed. I was wrong. When the backlight turns off the sound on the FM is drown out by an annoying hum. This also travels over to recording. You can leave the backlight on all the time, but that will just eat power like no tommorow. Sadly disappointing becasue it seems this is the same on all this model not just the one I had. Dont by it for FM anything! Get a Creative Labs Zen Nano Plus like I did - cheaper & it works! |
