Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)My husband just got one of these new Sony Walkman MP3 players (black), and it is so SWEET!!! I didn't know he was going to get one, he just walked into the room and started showing me pictures from our son's wedding--super crisp--and then parts of a movie, and he played some songs. (Earlier this year he had gotten me a teal colored Ipod Nano for my birthday. The Nano is my first MP3 player, and it is cool, and incredibly TINY!) Anyway, here is what I like about the Walkman:
As I mentioned, the screen looks very sharp, and it is about 30% bigger than the one I have. It's easy to look at without straining, and see detail. It allows you to display video or photos horizontally or vertically and select auto zoom or full display.
Secondly, besides the earbuds, it has speakers. What a great idea! You can preview your music without having to plant the earbuds. The speakers' frequency response is pretty flat, so obviously it won't replace your sound system, or have the quality of private listening with the buds, but it's fine for when you want to share the music or movies you are listening to/watching. The speakers are a bit "tinny" because they are small, but the sound is clear, with no buzz--even when turned up all the way. The sound stays clear. It's good for listening to speech like Podcasts, or NPR.
Yes,I said NPR. Or any other FM radio, as a matter of fact. It has a sensitive FM tuner (something that I have always wanted in an MP3); as well as a voice recorder. The headphones also serve as the antenna, but you can use the speakers to listen, just as long as you have the buds plugged in. You can record straight from FM or from the mic and save.
My husband also likes the adjustable, 5-band equalizer with with three pre-set EQ settings, heavy, pop, and jazz, and two custom settings,that you can adjust and save. I like the fact that you can transfer files using a simple drag-and-drop with Windows explorer.
So for around $100, you can get this impressive little Sony Walkman MP3 player. It's about 50% cheaper than my Nano, but with the same memory. I really like the speakers and the screen. Of course that comes with a price, too; and mainly it is the size. This Sony is still a compact, sturdy little thing, but bigger and heavier than my little green guy. The Nano is still gorgeous and TINY, but the Walkman is a great choice if you need features like radio and speakers.
Cheers!
