Technika MP-308 4GB MP3 player with FM tuner

Advantages: Wide range of features
Disadvantages: Difficult to navagate menus

...The MP-308 is Tesco?s current top of the range mini MP3 player with FM radio, and at 3p shy of £30 places it firmly in the budget end of the market. Having very recently ?goosed? my previous player doing a firmware upgrade, I got mine as an impulse purchase. It?s small ? about the same size as a lighter, and has a rechargeable battery, so running costs are minimal. You get everything you need; the player, a USB lead, a pair of cheap headphones, and a set of paper instructions and a mini-CD. In fact if you?ve previously owned an MP3 player, you can probably dispense with the last two items, the player supports traditional ?drag?n?drop? from your ?my music? folder. The instructions suggest that it?s far better to use the application which comes with the machine, that way you can make playlists, catalogue your albums and so...

Review of Technika MP3 player

Sony Walkman NWZ-B133B 1GB mp3 player Review.

Advantages: Solid buttons, small and good looking, quick USB charge, recording feature.
Disadvantages: Easy to damage front glass, USB charge makes it hard to use without access to PC.

...Today I'm going to write you about my experience with Sony Walkman NWZ-B133B (1GB) mp3 player. First the look, it?s black with matt silver colour on the sides. The LCD screen makes the information look nice and easy to read. On front you can find 4 buttons, the famous Sony home button, play/pause, next track, previous track, on the sides you can find outstanding good quality hold switch, volume, bass and record button. There are no problems with these buttons, they are solid and long lasting. On front of mp3 there is some kind of glass or plastic that makes it looks good, and shiny, but in the same moment it's not solid and it breaks close to the edges, but taking good care of it will help to prevent that damage. The battery is a Lithium ion it holds for long, the specs says it's 16 hours, but once I get about 20 hours of non...

Review of Sony NWZ-B133 1GB

Great MP3 Player - Simplicity and Elegance

Advantages: Looks great, airtight integration with iTunes
Disadvantages: Feels too small

.... This iPod got me into podcasts, because they are so easy to set-up. The battery life is good. Sound quality is average. I had a Sony walkman before and sound quality between the two is quite noticable. iPod nano lacks bass. There are EQ settings but not user-configurable ones. Apple's main advertising with this player is CoverFlow. This is when you can browse your music collection by flicking thro' album artwork. However, often it time a few seconds for the images to load, so is not as pretty as appears on adverts. Also it will take you AGES to go thro' your iTunes library and get all the album artwork. I tried it with a FM transmitter (generic) and it worked fine. Overall an excellent MP3 player that boasts airtight integration with iTunes and looks very attractive. However often feels too small. I brought the 8GB silver...

Review of Apple iPod Nano video 8GB Third Generation

Multi-function Walkman kicks MP3 players Ass!

Advantages: Excellent MP3 and radio facility, expandable memory, games work well.
Disadvantages: Call quality a little quiet, no flash on camera.

...own K800 joystick. The W850i as with all the W (Walkman) series of Sony phones concentrates on the MP3 player and music element of the phone and in this it is exceptional. You can expect this phone to completely replace your MP3 player as it has a memory card slot able to hold up to 4GB. Despite the phone coming with just 1GB I have still been able to store hundreds of songs with room for more. Tracks are easily arranged into play lists and artists using Sony?s inbuilt music library. This library can be completely customised and there is also an intriguing ?Track ID? feature were if you are listening to the phones FM Radio it can access the Internet and retrieve the track title, artist and album for you. Speaking of the FM radio, on the whole the quality s excellent. The in built speakers are clear and crisp for FM and MP3 alike...

Review of Sony Ericsson W850i Walkman

Sony 6Gb NWA1000 MP3 Player

Advantages: Trusted brand, durable quality product
Disadvantages: Software can be a pain to use.

...The Sony Walkman NW-A1000 6Gb MP3 player is very user friendly. It has more than enough space to store most of the music you would need for the car or gym. As Sony were the original personal music centre creators, its kind of ironic that they have made a good, usable music player. The player itself is more blue in colour rather than violet (although the earphones definately look violet - I've replaced them for other Sony earphones) You need Sonic stage software rather than the 'Connect' software that it comes with, this can sometimes struggle to convert MP3s onto the player which is a pain. It means that on occasion, because the mp3 format isn't recognised (God Knows Why?) you need to burn the files onto a CD, then import the CD onto the music library for placing onto the MP3 Player. I've not had any issues with the device...

Sony Walkman NW-E003 MP3! THE FIRST REVIEW

Advantages: Compact, Easy to use, Sounds Great, Quick Charge
Disadvantages: Low Functionality, Very small

...haven't got a clue how to use these things and want a player that has been designed for one thing and one thing only then this is the one for you. The unit is available in 512mbs or 1gb. For me this was adequate as I regularly update my tunes. This is by far enough memory to fit many of your favourite albums and play lists on. My ipod was a massive 40gb which was a complete waste of money as I have no where near that amount of music to put on. The unit charges via the USB port in the computer. Basically you plug it in and it charges up as easy as that. This is also excellent as when transferring your music to and from the player it charges. This function is very good as users will not have to hunt down available plugs to plug the unit in and charge it. The Sony Walkman NW-E003 MP3 also has an excellent auto turn off which helps save...

Sony erricson w350I - Replaces your MP3 player

Advantages: Small - looks good - great sound - easy to use
Disadvantages: Flimsy - slow internet speeds - average camera

...to a friend or something. The walkman feature on the phone is amazing - it can be activated by closing the lid - the sound is crystal clear and is surprisingly loud. There is a memory card included with the phone (a 512mb one) this can fit plenty of songs and photos but you will most likely want to upgrade - as you can use this for a fully fledged mp3 player. you can also listen to the radio - with the add on which acts as an antenna. The phone comes with a software CD so you can connect your phone to the computer using bluetooth and USB. you can transfer photos and music from your phone to computer and vice versa. The transfers are quite slow really - but not slow enough that you become annoyed. The phone has a nice layout - the menu is easy to access and everything is set out well - everything you need you can find it easily e...

Review of Sony Ericsson W350i Walkman

Sony Walkman NWZ-A816 4 GB

Advantages: Cost, Ease of use, sound quality, size, build
Disadvantages: None

...I have just recently purchased this MP3/MP4 player (£65 Amazon). I wanted something that was stylish, small, easy to use and gave good sound quality. I wanted it firstly for the music aspect, but also something to play with in the sense of MP4's and storing pictures. This unit does it all, plus more. WHAT IT CONSISTS OF MP3/MP4 Player (2 inch colour screen). USB cable. Headphones (amazing quality). 3 different size headphone inserts. Headphone extension lead. Media Player installation CD. Small plastic Table stand for the unit. WHAT IT IS AND DOES It plays music and video files (.mp3, .wav, .wma, .mp4), along with being able to store pictures (.jpg). The music quality is superb for something this size and at this price - there are also numerous functions that you can adjust (5 band graphic equalizer, stereo effects...

Review of Sony Walkman NWZ-A816 4 GB

Sony walkman NWZ-A816 4GB

Advantages: Sleek design, and massive performance in general
Disadvantages: screen size, lack of playlist creator function

...I have owned this walkman model since Jan08 and think it is fantastic. I find it hard to believe that ipod out-sell sony to such an extent when sony are delivering such good walkmans. To begin with, the sony walkmans have a far superior sound capability. With such features as DSEE sound enhancement, "clear stereo," VTP surround and the dynamic normaliser available to enhance the all round quality of the tracks you listen to, ipod cannot compare. Also, the screen on the walkman has a crystal clear resolution. I would go as far to say that combined with the sound quality, I could become absorbed in a movie whilst watching it on the walkman - provided there were no glaring distractions! Therefore, it really does become a great travel companion. Finally, the earphones have been designed to perfection, with the only downfall being the lack...

Sony Walkman NW-E003 MP3

Advantages: Long battery life, quick charge
Disadvantages: Have to use Sony's Sonicstage software. Display hard to read in sunlight.

...I was bought this MP3 walkman as a birthday gift a few months ago, so have had a little while to test it out. The unit itself is extremely compact and is a similar size to the USB flash memory sticks you see on the market. For those who have not used or seen one of these, it's about the size of a disposable cigarette lighter. As such it will fit easily into any pocket, but it also has a small hole at the top so a strap can be fitted (not included), allowing it to be hung round your neck. The unit charges from the USB drive on your computer. Just pull off the cap at the bottom and plug it in and the display on the front tells you it is charging. This MP3 player boasts up to 30 hours playback time from a full charge and if your in a hurry, a 3 minute "quick charge" will give you 3 hours of playback time. I've found this really...
