Sony Walkman NWD-B105

With some welcome innovations and improvements, is the NWD-B105 the milestone product Jon was hoping for?

The NWD-B105 boasts superb sound quality - as good as any other player I've heard in its class and better than most - is competitively priced and has been freed of the restrictions SonicStage places on other Sony players. But its battery life is...

Sony NWD-B105

In hindsight, Sony's mistakes in the portable music market seem jaw-droppingly obvious: the company didn't even bring out an MP3-compatible Walkman until 2004, and even then clung doggedly onto its impressive but niche ATRAC format and - even worse -...

Excellent except for faulty shuffle setting

Very light, easy to transfer and listen to music and the battery life is great even after a year and a half of use. The only infuriating thing about it is the shuffle mode. Instead of randomly going through all the tracks, it will just play the same...

Does what it says on the tin!

Gave this to my daughter so she could download university course materials so she could listen to them on her daily commute. She reports it is easy to use and is just what she needed.
