Not everyone has downed a tall glass of Apple’s kool aid and bought an iPod. Contrary to popular belief, there are other MP3 players out there, and many of them are pretty great. The most popular iPod competitor out there is probably Sandisk’s Sansa line, and with good reason. With prices that consistently undercut Apple’s flaghips and with features Apple users didn’t even know existed, the Sansa’s might be considered the thinking-man’s iPod.

Take the Sandisk Sansa e280 8GB MP3 Player, for example. With a lower price than a comparable iPod, it also gives you the option of loaded up even more storage via the MicroSD memory card slot. That gives you more versatility and options than anything Apple’s released, for less money. It’s the perfect device to prove to yourself that you don’t buy into fads or marketing hype, and you just go with the best value you can find. You’re so smart.

You’ve gotta love it when technology gets extremely cheap extremely quickly. Take, for example, MP3 players. What once were guaranteed to set you back somewhere in the hundreds of dollars range now oftentimes clock in at well under a Benjamin, and you don’t lose quality for going so low in price. Need an example? Hey, I’m here for you.

The Audiovox MP6610FM 1GB MP3 Player is a shockingly cheap $35, yet it still packs in a lot of features. It’s got an FM tuner, so you can listen to the radio when you get bored of all the songs you loaded up into its up to 1GB worth of memory. In addition, you get a generously sized OLED screen for sorting through your tunes, something you’d think would come on all players but doesn’t on some of the more expensive and more popular models (cough cough, iPod shuffle). And heck, for $35 it’s down to impulse buy, keep ‘em by the register prices, so how can you go wrong?
