Sony NW-E407

 

Good looks and amazing battery life make this flash player a true contender.

Fantastic battery life ; Cool and unique design ; Bright, easy-to-read OELD ; Solid sound ; Gets really loud

No FM tuner or recording features ; Inelegant software ; Must use Sony's SonicStage software to get music onto the player

Sony Walkman NW-E407 does not resemble with the same series of Sony Walkman Portable tape player. this 85 x 30 x 14 mm multimedia gadget is more like USB Flash or cigarette lighter than Portable tape player. NW-E407 has many variations in capacity (...

Great kit, shame about the software

 

As with most Sony products you would expect a stylish high quality product to grace your palms, and I agree with most other reviewers that this is no exception. It looks great, sounds great, and is surprisingly easy to navigate and use. The radio ...

Great looks, sound, quality, navigation and battery life

Software interface is seriously lacking in quality for a device which is useless without it
