Consumer review by:

Solid player with user experience hampered by spyware.

 

OK. So I've read many reviews posted about this product before I bought it. I'm glad I did. Those reviews will give you a good idea of what to expect from the player. First, it's very delicate. I mean, it is very light and thin but it feels flimsy and...

Lightweight and sleek design ; Ease of use out of the box ; Easy pairing to wireless headphones ; Great sounding wireless headphones ; 30+ hours of play out of the battery (should get up to 50 with more use)

Software on player is, in my opinion, spyware ; Surface of player is very slick ; Accidentally pressing any button will turn on player ; No good cases or armband offered by Sony ; Can't delete songs from the player. Have to plug into computer

If only it had lasted more than a year

 

If it weren't for the fact that my Sony Walkman MP3 player lasted about a year with no abuse etc., I would say it is a very good product. Good enough that I plan to replace it with the same model. With electronics it is a hit or miss thing. My player...

Excellent Sound/Battery Life

Great features plus bluetooth (too bad Sony's not making any more)

 

I had an older traditional Sony Walkman MP3 player. My biggest gripes were: (1) No A-B repeat function (2) No "few seconds back" repeat function (like there is, e.g., on a Tivo remote for your television); and (3) No bluetooth for the earphones. All...

Love the changes

 

I have an older model and I love the changes made to the newer model. I use the hold feature more often to stop it from turning on in my purse. It helps with the battery life.

Its Awesome!

 

The device beats all old walkman hands down. Bluetooth headphones aren't entirely wireless, but the main part is that there is no plugging into the walkman itself. Also, if you wanted to, it came with wired headphone just in case. Love it all the way.

Great Sony Product With A Couple of Kinks

 

The Sony NWZS764 is a great mp3 player. It sounds great, has a bright display and has the ability to access songs quickly and easily. However, I bought the S764 to replace a stolen NWZ-E354. It's got only four stars because it's exactly like the E354...

Awesome MP3 Player

 

After being tired of apple products having their way with dead batteries and hold buttons, I purchased a good ol' sony walkman. I have read bad reviews on how their mp3 player "turns on just by being in the pocket and playing and the hold doesn't do...
