What's in the Box
Sansa Shaker, 512MB Card (in Unit), 1 pair of headphones, Stickers, 1 AAA Battery, and Quick start guide.
Fun practical product. Should be priced under $20 (Rating: 4 out of 5) I keep one handy when play with two year old, wake him up or play music when he plays in the tub. Extremely user friendly. Speaker and headset quality is fine given the price.
Con:
Plasticky. I can see it break in 3-6 month
Battery and memory cover keep fell off. Have to keep it in place with a plastic band.
I have to keep tracking it in the house.
Worked great for a while... (Rating: 2 out of 5) The good....I loved that I could let my kids listen to music without worrying about ear damage from headphones. The form factor was great and it was much smaller in person than I realized (a positive).
The bad.... it had glitches in the first couple of weeks that required me to take the battery out. Then it just stopped working.
Wouldn't buy another one.
Not easy to download songs (Rating: 3 out of 5) It is a great idea, but not easy to download the songs to the player. Everytime I was able to put a new song on, one of the songs already on, would be gone. Also, the bottom opens easily. My son enjoys it, so that's all that matters.
Great for kids... (Rating: 5 out of 5) We bought this for my son who is 5 and wanted an ipod. It is VERY easy for him to use & it's cute to see him shake it to get to the next song. He really enjoys it. We love how he can choose to use the earplugs or he can have them unplugged & it'll play out loud. It also has a 2nd place for somebody else to plug his or her ear phones in as well so 2 people can listen to it at a time.
And for me (mom) it's very simple to add the music to it. We have ipods & other mp3 players but this has got to be the simplest of them all. Click & drag is basically how easy it is. The best thing of all was the price. I couldn't believe how reasonable it was.
I would highly recommend this MP3 player. Simple enough for almost any child.
Great! (Rating: 5 out of 5) Great service. Product arrived fast and was just as described. I have made 2 purchases from this seller and am very pleased.
