Sony Walkman E-Series (NWZ-E443) MP3 player

The Sony NWZ-E443 is a 4GB MP3 player that can display photos and videos on its 2in LCD screen. Other models in the Sony Walkman E-Series range have 8...

Cheaper than an iPod Nano, great sound quality

Not as well designed as the iPod Nano, low screen resolution

The Sony NWZ-E443 has a very similar feature-set to the Apple iPod Nano, and it's almost the same size. We prefer the Nano's design, but the NWZ-E443 is slightly cheaper.

Sony Walkman NWZ-E443 review

The Sony Walkman NWZ-E443 is a 4GB MP3 player that can display photos and videos on its 2in LCD screen. Other models in the Sony Walkman E-Series range have 8GB and 16GB storage capacities. The E-Series directly competes with Apple's iPod nano.

It's a close call between the Sony Walkman E-Series players and the Apple iPod nano. If you're on a budget you can pick up the 4GB E-Series model, while the Apple iPod nano is only available in 8GB and 16GB capacities. Even when it comes to the...

Sony Walkman NWZ-E443 review

Sony's Walkman 4GB NWZ-E443 portable music player looks striking thanks to its slender, shiny red metal and black plastic design.

The Walkman NWZ-E443's video support is poor, but its good audio quality, long battery life, good looks and low price make it a great buy.

Sony Walkman NWZ-E443 4GB

If you won't buy into the iPod nano hype, this is the MP3 player for you.

Excellent sound quality ; Allows drag-and-drop file management ; Physical controls enable in-pocket operation ; Uses a proprietary connector

Screen to small to make images/video viable

Superior Sound ; Straightforward Interface ; New and more features from the previous model ; Ultracompact

Proprietary Port for data cable ; Rather small screen

Sony Walkman NWZ-E445 (16GB)

While it is not a drastic improvement over the older E-430, the E-440 offers more audio enhancements such as Dynamic Normalizer and Clear Audio Technology (consisting of Clear Stereo and Clear Bass). Overall, it's a solid player that pushes all the...

Good sound quality; decent video playback; dedicated volume controls; sliding lock switch; good screen performance; decent array of features such as FM tuner and voice recording; works with iTunes

Plastic body is very prone to scratches; shorter battery life than the E-430

Review: Sony NWZ-E440 series Walkman

After introducing the X-series Walkman, it looks like Sony is refreshing the rest of its player lineup. We have a look at the new E-440 series Walkman to see what has changed.

Good sound quality; decent video playback; dedicated volume controls; sliding lock switch; good screen performance; decent array of features such as FM tuner and voice recording; works with iTunes

Plastic body is very prone to scratches; shorter battery life than the E-430

Sony's new E-440 series does almost everything well. It has decent audio output quality, good video playback capability and also support for the more widely used media formats. But the new design and inclusion of new audio enhancements are marred by...
