Sony NW-E507 Network Walkman reviewed

Silicon Pop Culture got their hands on Sony's shiny new 1GB NW-E507 flash-based digital audio player (part of their Network Walkman line, natch), also one of the company's first MP3-friendly devices. Though you can't see it in this pic, the NW-E507...

Sony NW-E507

This is a really great product. Compact & Stylish - it has an elegant display which can be set to show music details, playlist, time, date or a decorative display. It is my second purchase of this product.

Loved It

I loved this little mp3 player! It took me forever to figure out how to use it, with the software being Sony, but eventually I figured it all out and wow. As soon as the Sony software for the player was discontinued, I purchased a different player. I...

High quality MP3 player

I like what Sony has done with this MP3 player. It is small and great looking. It only holds a gig of music, but I change the playlist a lot so that does not bother me. I like showing off this MP3 player. It is just cool looking. The battery life is...

Not so user friendly

The Bad: The unit has a poor display you can only see in the dark, or holding your hand over to block the light. Comes with a cheap plastic clip, which is not intended for rugged use (running or working out). No holders that I could find, had to rig up...

Road Warrior!

I have been using this mp3 player for the past 4 YEARS! It has held up to gym punishment day after day after day. Battery life is phenominal! I would charge it for 3 minutes and it would last me 3 hours! If I charge it fully, it would last a couple...

Beautiful design. Incredible functionality. The NW-E507 is superior in every regard. The 3-line organic electro luminescence display is sharp and clean, artfully providing song title, track duration, and battery information. This 1GB player lets you load up with 695 songs, but doesn't stop there; it also has an FM tuner. Tired of your tunes? Tune in the local indie station. Yeah, it's about the size of a pack of gum, and it has an FM tuner and 1GB of storage capacity.The NW-E507 also features insane battery life: up to 50 hours of playback on one full charge. And, if you're down to your last bar, just quick charge it. A three-minute charge gives you three hours of playtime.It's time to step up to Sony.
