Sony NWS23 Network Walkman 256 MB Digital Music Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This product will not let you drag and drop mp3 files into the mp3 player like every other mp3 player on the planet. It makes you convert your mp3 using their software to do it. Most of my mp3 library will not transfer over. I bought a Scandisk and every file went in with no problem and plays great. Sony if you were trying to make a product that sucks, well you succeeded.

Sony 4 GB Slim Noise-Canceling Video MP3 Player (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Though I bought this player from Sony style I would like to write down my reviews here simply because I wanted to share my experiences.
I had been following the Sony sites to get the exact date of launch of this product and not surprisingly this product was launched well in advance and on the same day 4th generation IPOD was launched.
Let me start with the features of NWZ-S736FBNC:
1. Too easy to handle: I was able to get a hand on almost all the available features without taking help from operating guide available in a tiny CD which comes with WM player 11.0.
2. Player was already partially charged and I was able to listen pre-loaded songs (1 song of each genre - has got Ace young "Addicted" song too).
3. Now let us come to sound features:
It has got equalizer with presets and 2 custom options which is most useful feature in terms of sound frequency adjustments.
Earphone: This is unique and can be used only with Sony noise canceling MP3 players. The noise feature though not too effective but it zeroed out air conditioner and tread mill sound (as they claim 75% noise cancellation, I found it true).
Amazing sound (no one can beat this product of Sony in terms of sound). You can enjoy deep bass at the same time no compromises with highs. Sony MP3 player may not have as stylish looks as IPOD nano has but sound feature is too dominating to ignore style feature of other MP3 players.

4. Video: Crystal clear video. You may disappoint with the formats it supports (just MP4 and WMV2). But this is more of a music player than a video one. Sony has got another model which has bigger screen, sold at same price but with no noise canceling option.

Cons: Earphones can't be used with other players. Sound quality is not so good if tried with other earphones.

Overall this is an outstanding MP3 player from Sony.

Sony 2 GB Walkman Video MP3 Player (Red) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received this little Walkman as a holiday present and it is just fabulous!I'm a latecomer to the MP3 market, having been reluctant to get caught up in loading music (after all, we all know what "timesavers" digital cameras are).When I saw this device come on the market, I was strongly tempted and am I glad I was.My 11-year old got the device up and running (that is, nearly fully loaded with my favorite albums) using MS Windows Media Player, and then taught me how to do it in a matter of minutes.I've currently got about 350 songs on it with room for half as many I would estimate.It's got great battery life. The earbuds represent Sony's high quality sound.I particularly like the metallic red color.I haven't yet tried the other features, but I'm optimistic about their ease of use.Now my son is agitating to upgrade his Zen player.

SOLO WIRELESS Digital MP3 Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the Solo Wireless MP3 player for the purpose of downloading audiobooks to it. I have always had a hard time finding a player that had everything in one, so to say. I was pleasantly suprised to find that I could store 5 books ( depending on the size ) on the unit. The bookmarking feature is exactly what I have been lacking in other players. The sound quality is the best I have heard from all the other players I have tried.I use [...] for my books and the downloading couldnt be easier. I travel alot on an airplane and enjoy listening to a good book. I couldnt be happier with this unit, and the fact that it's wireless is a huge added benefit! Highly recomended.

Sony 4 GB Walkman Video MP3 Player with FM Tuner (Red) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)this Sony Walkman has noise canceling mechanism built into the player. For what it's worth it does an adequate job. It probably won't do the job those expensive noise-canceling headphones can do, but it is in my opinion sufficient.

My experience in reading reviews were best if I arrange it in points rather than narratives. So I will do that here.

Strength:
1. it has outstanding sound quality. It is not that outstanding right out of the box, however. You have to tweak and toggle some settings. You have to turn on bass features and play with equalizers. I had every single version of iPods and the only iPod that comes close (but not quite) to the sound quality of this is first generation iPod shuffle. It has amazingly clean bass. The earbud that comes with the player is miles better than iPod earbuds. You usually have to spend $40-$50 for this type of earbud.
2. I actually like the size of this player over iPod nano because it is easier on my hand to grab. iPod nano was too thin and it is difficult to navigate since it is too small.
3. interface is really clean and I really like how you can skip fast to the last of the list by clicking right button. This is just one of those subtle feature that makes the experience better.
4. I like how this player has dedicated tactile volume button.

Weakness
1. it does not have gapless playback. This is a problem for me because I listen to a lot of Euro style mix musics.
2. it does not arrange songs by disc numbers. This is a problem since I arranged my albums in a way that it sorts out by disc numbers.
3. the biggest knock on this player probably is limited types of playable formats. It plays mp3, aac and wav. The problem with this is that if you have some odd formats like mp2 or ogg, when you are importing the music via windows explorer you will have problems with system crash. This is mostly windows Vista issue, however.

So most of the weaknesses are either subjective or nitpicky. Overall I love this player's sound quality. Since sound quality is the top 1st, 2nd, and 3rd important thing for me when I choose my mp3 player, this one is a winner.
