SanDisk Sansa Shaker

It's hard to know what the kids of today are into, just writing the phrase "the kids of today" makes us feel a little older than we would like. Howev...

Good sound, Easy to use, Two headphone jacks, Supports SD card memory

No rechargeable battery, Limited appeal, Distortion in speakers at high volume

The Sansa Shaker is a great introduction to the world of portable music and will no doubt keep kids and pre-teens amused for hours.

Sandisk Sansa Shaker

Whenever I buy a toy for my good friends' two-year-old son, I like to make sure it makes a lot of noise. That's because, in my experience, kids love loud toys, even though parents hate them. I'm glad to say that SanDisk's Sansa Shaker, an MP3 player...

Easy to use. Upgradable to 2GB. Built-in speaker. Loaded with amusing sound effects. Durable plastic design. Dual earphone jacks

Battery cover is easy to remove. No rechargeable battery. Earbuds sound lousy

The Shaker is a simple $35 MP3 player for kids that has several sound effects parents will "enjoy" hearing through the built-in speaker.

SanDisk Sansa Shaker review: SanDisk Sansa Shaker

SanDisk Sansa Shaker

The SanDisk Sansa Shaker features a simple, kid-friendly design and will be available in a variety of colors. The player is half-toy and shuffles up music when shaken. Fun sound effects when the player is paused or turned on and off add to its appeal....

The flap covering the ports on the bottom of the Shaker may not be durable over time, and the lack of rechargeable battery may not appeal to everyone. The player only supports MP3s.

If you want to get your children started on digital music at a young age, the Sansa Shaker provides a great way to do so: it's inexpensive, simple, and acts like a toy.

Sandisk Sansa Shaker

Is it a kids' toy? Almost: it's a shakeable MP3 player. We put it through its paces.

SanDisk Sansa Shaker

As many of you know, I have been reviewing a lot of new MP3 players lately, without a lot of fantastic things to say, especially about the Sony Rolly MP3. So you might expect that I automatically wouldn't like the SanDisk Sansa Shaker, as it too has...

The Sansa Shaker uses this "shake" function, in conjunction with pressing the play/pause button, to swap between songs. Upon shaking, a funny sound indicates this mode is active, and then the next song takes over. What's really interesting is that you...

SanDisk Sansa Shaker MP3 player Review and Prices

SanDisk has been known to pack some pretty powerful audio into their small, easy to use, economical Sansa MP3 players, and while the Shaker doesn't quite live up to this legacy, we're not exactly sure that it's supposed to; rather, it is something...

Good sound quality, FM tuner, voice recorder

Scroll wheel doesn't fully function, bottom comes off very easily
