Sony NWZ-A866

 

Can Sony's latest £200-plus MP3 player really take on Apple's iPod Touch?

Great touchscreen and interface ; Good sound quality ; Plenty of fun functions ; Strong design

Expensive ; No apps ; Non-expandable memory

iPod Classic.

Sony NWZ-A866 review

 

Great for music on the move… but can be beaten for value

Small and light ; nice build quality ; fast, intuitive interface ; sounds great

Low on frills – and storage – which makes it look expensive

Like the original, it’s great for music on the move… but it can be beaten for value

None whatsoever.

Sony Walkman NWZ-A866

 

What isn't good about it would be quicker...... I carry all my music with me, download from computer click and drag, finding music simple.

As with ALL MP3 players I only wish there was a one stop delete. I don't have the time to sift through my music for the right beat to match my jogging spead before downloading the tracks but I do listen to every one of the 7000 & more tracks when...

Sound quality; build quality; functions; ease of use; quality of supplied headphones.
