Sony Walkman Will Bring Music To Your Ears.

 

I found the perfect present for both my daughter and us parents, and that is the Sony Walkman a 4GB MP3 Player (model NWZ-E463). You can find these at just about $80 and you will be delighted at the sound that this puts out. We found ours at Best Buy...

Lightweight and sleek design

Slippery when you are not watching

Best MP3 I've owned

 

I had a Walkman before this and really liked it, but it was too bulky. I bought it for the external speakers but I never used them. When I replaced it with this one I was impressed. I only currently have a 4gb but I'm going to get a 16gb of the same...

Perfect size, easy to use, great design, indestructible

Battery life is meh

Everything I truly wanted in an MP3 player

 

I typically only write reviews when a product blows me away or because it's so poor that I want to warn others. This definitely falls in the first category - amazing product all around! I've owned my fair share of portable music players and my mp3...

Very Happy

 

I bought this just to listen to music and could not be happier. Excelent sound, as much volume as anyone would need and a lot of great features. As mentioned in several reviews the on/off button is very touchy so be careful, but for the money a great...

Good for music, lousy for audiobook

 

We have had this unit for a couple of months now and it is just fine for music and the battery life is great. However we mostly use this for audio books that we get through our local library. If this unit is allowed to sit for about 24 hours without...

Great all around mp3 player

 

I previously have had an el cheapo mp3 player, an ipod nano, and a Sony mp3 player from a few years back. The el cheapos have crummy software, won't play DRM (digital rights managed) files like audiobooks from the library, and in general cost more in...

easy to use, good price, improved software, audiobooks, music, etc., fabulous battery life

software could be improved, proprietary charger

lacks organizational skills but very nice player

 

very nice, easy-to-use player with great sound. organizing music seems to be a challenge, not intuitive and is clunky since you have to do it on the computer first -- and even that isn't seamless. But it is much better than the Sanza I had before that...

maybe great if we had not started with apple first

 

this was harder to set up than our apple products & of course uses a diffenent means than itunes. When trying to add music to sony's list I had some issues. When I deleted songs out of sony's stuff I though I would only delete them out of sony's stuff...

headphones nicer than what comes with apple's
