SONY NW-A 806

Advantages: Excellent sound quality and slimline and portable
Disadvantages: Not Capatible with WMA as mentioned Can't transfer from MP3 to PC

...Ultra slim but a very good MP3 player with excellent sound quality also on a full charge you are able to get at least 7hours or so of continuious usage from this great piece of equipment, you can also store pics, clip footage, only main draw backs I found that the software was very restricted to Sony and even though it explains on their package box WMA files can be used on the MP3 it's not the case it's MP3 and some of the other larger files it's uses but converts them to it's own style of Sony file. I also found transfering music onto the MP3 a doddle, but visa versa was extremely difficult or too much of a hassle to be honest and NOT AT ALL user friendly! but they have a helpline that wasn't too bad the software for it on the PC again is pretty good but as mentioned again has the above limitations but all in all a very good MP3...

Sony Walkman NW-E005

Advantages: Easy use - Simple, and USB attatchment
Disadvantages: Sonic Stage (program supplied)

...The Sony Walkman NW-E005 Available in a wide variety of colours- violet, black, silver and pink as far as i am aware of! It has a choice of 512MB (which approximately stores 250 songs), 1GB (500 songs), 2GB (1,000 songs). It is a compact small and convienient shape, and can easily be carried around in a handbag or whilst participating in sport activities (expect for swimming i should add!). Features of the Product On top of the standard basics of an mp3 player, i have also found other useful funtions - Sound The control is simple and increadibly easy, with a simple location on the back of the player, in options there is an extensive range of adjustments that can be made to the sound emitted - . One handy function i find handy is the avls, which prevents the increase of the volume up to a certain point where it may no...

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...

Sony Walkman NW-A808

Advantages: Control, battery life, big screen, sound quality, superior headphones
Disadvantages: A little light in terms of weight but the purchase of a skin eleviates this

...I recently spent 2 weeks working in London and commuting to my office using the tube. Everywhere I looked, people were listening to Ipods. It sort of reminds me of the mobile phone market where Nokia were/have been seen as market leaders and their phones as being "must haves" on people's lists, despite the emergence of other brands such as Sony and Samsung. Up until recently I owned a 30 gig Ipod video. Don't get me wrong, it was ok in terms of sound quality. I thought the battery life (up to 14 hours) sucked and Itunes was the most user unfriendly software I've ever used. So, one day, I read a magazine review of the NW A808, and I bought one. The first thing that strikes you is the size of the screen which is bigger than the Ipod Nano's. The other noticeable thing is its' weight, which sort of makes it feel "flimsy", and as...

Sony Walkman NW-E003 MP3! THE FIRST REVIEW

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

...Sony Walkman NW-E003 MP3 Ahh the first review of a new item, where do I begin? Right I will start by giving you a personal opinion about what I like and dislike about the player. I recently purchased the Sony Walkman when my Apple ipods battery packed in. There has been a lot of controversy recently regarding the battery life of the ipods so when mine packed I was gutted. £250 down the pan. After loosing out on this amount of money I vowed never to spend that sort of money on an MP3 player again. I had a look around the internet and local shops looking for a decent memory, well branded, reasonably priced player. I looked through all brands such as Samsung, Phillips, Panasonic, Zen, and even some of the Mp3 player mobile phones. I noted down the players I liked from various retailers then searched the net for better prices...

Review of Sony Walkman NW-E003 1 GB

Slim, Lightweight and PINK!

Advantages: Fantastic, simple to use and lightweight
Disadvantages: None

...for the headphones. What is in the Box I was desperate to get home and try out the player, it comes in a small box with all the equipment you need to get you up and running fast. • Headphones - the headphones are fantastic, I have always had problems with in-ear head phones (I've always found Sony to be the best). These have little rubber bits that fit into the ear, they don't fall out and very little sound is lost through them. The wire for the headphones appears at first to be quite short, but also included with the equipment is an extension for the headphones! • Attachment - used for connecting the player to the optional cradle. • USB cable - for connecting to the computer - this is also the means of charging the player. • PC Application Software - SonicStage, Image Converter and Operation Guide. • Quick Start...

Sony Walkman NW-E002

Advantages: Small, Easy to use
Disadvantages: Design of MP3 catches fingerprints easily

...clip, armbands and earphones that have a neckstrap as well as water proof cases etc. but these obviously come at a price which cunningly is not included in the leaflet they provide with the MP3 in the box!! All in all this Sony Walkman is a great purchase, as it is easy to use, looks great and is reliable. I myself have bought 2 of the little wonders, one for me and another as a present. Thank you for reading this review and i hope it has been of help to you, please you you take the time to rate my review....

Sony walkman NW-E003

Advantages: (in review)
Disadvantages: (in review)

...Good Points: -Looks good. -Small, fits easily into crowded pockets. -Good battery life and very fast recharge. (mine has recharged in half an hour) -Nice sound quality. -Display is easy to see and read. -It's reasonably durable, I have dropped it on numerous occasions without and damage. Also a friend of mine spilled wine all over it, which pooled inside the player, after which it worked fine and eventually most of the wine has come out. Bad Points: -Custom equaliser can be awkward (personally I can never remember how to change it) although this isn't a big issue. -Sony's Sonic Stage software that you have to use, can be fiddly, and you cannot copy music from the mp3 player to your computer. -Navigation of music can be awkward (partly due to a lack of buttons in my opinion) however it's possible to work around this when...

Sony Walkman NW-A1000 6GB Black

Advantages: easy to use, stylish and modern desgn
Disadvantages: cant see screen in sunlight very well, software is difficult to use.

...When choosing to buy a new mp3 player i was looking for something with a bit more memory and a better 'stylish' feel to it compared to my old Ipod Nano. I soon found this little beauty, met what i wanted exactly! stylish, modern design, very generous memory of 6GB and perhaps the biggest incentive, the price! i paid £149.99 from the sony centre itself. Anyway, its very simple to use with play/pause button, a 4 way navigational button, option, back and hold button on the top, also ther is an 'artist link' button on the side (exclusive to sony walkmans) With the headphone socket on the top of the mp3 and the charger/usb socket at the baseof the mp3. The layout of this mp3 is simple, you can search for song, artist, genre, album. making it easy to find any song u want instantly, also this mp3 has an 'intelligent shuffle' which records your...
