SanDisk Sansa Fuze

Looking to take a bite out of Apple's pie, SanDisk's Sansa Fuze sets its sights on the nano.

Format support is limited to MPEG-4 files at native screen resolution too - a far cry from the excellent video support of the View, which supports WMV and MPEG-4 files at more than the native resolution of the screen (640 x 320). However, SanDisk does...

SanDisk Sansa Fuze review

An SDHC card slot allows you to increase the storage capacity of this appealing player

Solid, with a smart finish ; clean interface ; decent sound ; expansive storage

Headphones aren’t much cop ; lacks a little punch and weight

Not quite up to the best soncially, but the card slot and intuitive interface give it plenty of appeal

SanDisk Sansa Fuze review

The MP3 player that's after the iPod nano's crown

Small size ; Great sound quality

Not as sexy as the iPod

A great little player, but when you put it side-by-side with a nano, there's only one winner

SanDisk Sansa Fuze review

You like the simple life. If you're going to buy an MP3 player, the only decision to make is which iPod best suits you. Right? Not in these financially unstable times. You can find a 4GB iPod Nano for £100, but the Sandisk Sansa Fuze costs 30% less and...

SanDisk Sansa Fuze 4GB MP3 player review

SanDisk's Sansa Fuze may look like the iPod Nano, but this flash-based MP3 player packs in more functionality.

The SanDisk Sansa Fuze is a worthy competitor to the Nano, and an even better choice if you’re looking for a player with expandable memory, an FM tuner and a lower price tag.

Sansa Fuze Player : SanDisk Sansa Fuze

Adding to its range of MP3 devices, SanDisk has released the Sansa Fuze model for those wanting both video and music mobile playback facilities.

Measuring 50 x 7 x 78mm, the Sansa Fuze, with its ability to play MP3 and WMA audio tracks plus video clips, is the company’s obvious challenger to the market leading iPod nano device. Positioned between the excellent Sansa Clip and Sansa View units,...

Sandisk Sansa Fuze

You won't find a better MP3 player than the Sandisk Sansa Fuze for under £50.

Trusty, reliable and a great all-rounder. Very cheap.

It's not very exciting.

Sandisk Sansa Fuze

The Sandisk Sansa Fuze is an 8GB media player supporting MP3, WMA, Ogg, Flac, WAV, Audible and MPEG-4 files. It has a microSD slot for expansion, built-in FM radio, microphone for voice recording and measures 78x48x8mm and weighs 60g. The good Light up...

The Fuze manages to be suitably sparky without either fizzling out or exploding in your hand. A cracker of a media player at an almost pocket money price. Sandisk Sansa Fuze is tagged with Sandisk Sansa Fuze, MP3 player and SanDisk. Select a tag...
