 Great gift to yourself or someone else December 2, 2008
Very timely delivery. Great sounds and functions. This player plays movies and has great clarity. I highly recommend this player. DO NOT PASS THIS UP!
great for working out, and the sound....awesome December 1, 2008
Just a little input... This is the third Sony mp3 I've tried, and it's the best so far. Just when I thought I really liked the previous version, I realized that I was wanting more music to carry. I began with just the 1gig walkman which was perfect for working out and running, but then I hated that I had to use the Atrac format (and the program, sony stage, that came with it sucked) and it wouldn't let me turn my music back into mp3 format.
The previous version was excellent in sound and I liked the display to see the cd art when showing the recordings. The smart random play was also great. Well, now I have all of it, and the fm player still there...yeay. The screen a tiny bit bigger, and the buttons a little crisper when you press them.
The only negative I have found is that the random feature always returns to the first song that was recorded on the mp3 player as long as it first plays the last song that was playing when I last shut it down (weird).
The battery does last a very long time, the only thing is you have to tweak the settings for the screen brightness, time it stays on etc... If you want a little extra memory, you can dig into the settings and delete the videos and demos that come preloaded on the player...now hopefully the 4 gig will be enough for me to listen to.
The sound out of this thing is incredibly good for the price, it goes great with my Sure headsets. Also the size and weight is perfect when going for a run, or a mountain bike trail ride.
By the way, it does have a "hold" button, unlike some silly players out there....hope this helps!!!
 Battery Life Less than Claimed December 1, 2008
First the good news. This product has excellent sound quality when playing songs or when using the FM radio. In fact, on the FM, it has much better quality than the Sony radio I was previously using.
The bad news is that the 30+ hour rated battery falls woefully short. I get from 15 to 20 hours and that's using the FM radio (which should require less juice than playing songs from the hard drive). Very disappointing.
Also bad news is the female contact on the unit. It is unique to Sony. And to add insult to injury, it will only charge up using my computer and the USB cord that was provided. It will not charge on the AC or DC chargers that I purchased separately.
 Superb sound November 16, 2008

This small device deliver great sound quality, if you are locking for good sound quality this it, i don't care about the other capabilities but they are really nice to, i bought a Sony Erickson 580i and expand its memory to 4g, but it doesn't deliver the quality of sound of this device. great bass an treble.
Amazing Sound Quality! November 7, 2008

The first word that came out of my mouth when I listened to a track on this MP3 / Video player was WOW! The sound quality that this tiny little device generates is just amazing. When it comes to MP3 players, I'm VERY picky. I look for a device that gives me rich, crystal clear, high quality sound... with BASS! And this Walkman delivers it. That's not to say that other brands don't deliver high-quality crystal clear sound, but at the same time, not all brands deliver high-quality crystal clear sound with outstanding bass and balance. At least, not for this price range.
The equalizer on this Sony Walkman is just perfect, as far as I'm concerned. When you crank up the bass level, you get exactly that - thick, solid bass, without distorting the earphones or affecting the treble. You can either select the presents that are pre-loaded in this device, or customize the frequency levels until you reach your desired sound.
At 4GB, this Walkman can hold approximately 900 songs if they are at 128 kbps in MP3 format. But personally, I would highly recommend you rip your MP3s from your CDs to 192 kbps, which would pretty much give you CD quality. The downfall is that you won't be able to load 900 songs. Since 192 kbps files are a little larger than 128 kbps, you'll be looking at something like 700 songs or so (assuming they are the standard 3 to 4 minute songs), which is still a lot. As for the video player, I was quite impressed with both the picture and, of course, sound quality. The videos don't freeze up or skip or anything like that, they play just as smoothly as what you see on your television screen at home.
Importing audio, video, and images onto this device is pretty easy. Simply connect one end of the USB cable (which comes included) to your Sony Walkman, and the other end of the cable to your computer. Then, on your computer, go to Start, My Computer, look for the "Sony Walkman" drive, double click on it and then drag / drop your files in the appropriate folders. The other option is to use Windows Media Player 11 (which you can download for free on the Internet) to synchronize your files to your Sony Walkman. This is probably the better option if you want every neatly organized. It may take a little bit of practice for some, but it's fairly easy to do once you get the hang of it.
Pros:
Amazing sound quality
Excellent Equalizer
Ridiculously long lasting battery
Ultra slim design (less than half an inch thick)
Has FM Radio
Great bass!
Cons:
Memory not expandable
No voice recorder
This is an excellent product. I highly recommend it.
