Sony Walkman NWZ-A729 (16GB, black) review

By (cnet.com)

The Sony NWZ-A720 Walkman MP3 player series offers high-quality music, photo, and video playback, along with EX-style earphones and a phenomenal battery life.

The Sony NWZ-A720 series doesn't come cheap, and it lacks an FM radio, voice recording, memory expansion, and a standard USB connection.

Sony Walkman NWZ-A720 series

"I love this!"

By honeybeeca (cnet.com)

This is my first MP3 player, so I was a littl... 

It feels nice and sturdy in my hand even though it's smaller than I expected. The music is great even from records I transferred onto CDs. The earbuds feel fine even after a couple of hours in my ears, unlike others that make them hurt.

The only thing is that I put a long strap through the strap hole so I could have it around my neck when I'm in my recliner and I don't have to worry about it falling. Other than that, I think this is perfect. There isn't anything I don't like.
