 Great sound quality, much better than iPod May 25, 2010

Having been an iPod Nano user, I recently bought the Walkman NWZA845B. I love the slim design and it's perfect for me to use during my commute to work.
I just don't understand why some people are saying the sound quality is not good... It's absolutely awesome! The difference is obvious when I compare it with my old Nano. The only frustrating this is that I need to change the setting and turn on the sound enhancement functions like Clear Bass, DSEE (what ever this means!?) and Clear Stereo etc. (Dear Sony, why don't you turn them on as default setting? No need to hide them!)
The OLED screen is also very impressive. I've downloaded several episodes of Top Gear onto the Walkman so I can watch them when I've finished reading the papers. Despite the relatively small screen (2.8"), its surprisingly comfortable to watch. The images are very crisp and bright unlike any other portable devices I have used including iPod Nano or a mobile phone! (Dear Sony, why aren't you setting brightness 5 as default setting either??)
On the downside, I did notice that the volume of this model does not go high as my Nano. Having said that, I never used to listen to music at max volume... The volume on my Walkman is sufficient for me to use during my commute, or in the gym. I have absolutely no regrets buying this new Walkman!

just bought mine today (sorry amazon went to the Sony store for mine).
I did a lot of looking around and reading up before buying and it came down to either this, the Zune or an Ipod Nano and I have to say for me I made the right choice for the following reasons:
1 - Sony has finally done away with their proprietary software in favour for Media Player, a big plus point for me as all my music is run thru Media Player, and had little to no faith in Sonicstage nor wanted to convert to Itunes.
2 - Reported battery life is impressive, as is the screen, OLED no less!
3 - Sure its not got a touch screen but then neither is the Nano, and the Nano hasn't got as good a screen. Even though I wanted primarily a MP3 player watching video is a joy.
4 - The Sony sounds way better than the Ipod.
5 - Its a small unit but punches well above its weight, without of gilding the Lilly.
The included headphones are very good, I've not noticed the volume issue that others have mentioned, also it works with BBC Iplayer! :-)
my only gripes are that it uses a proprietary USB rather than generic mini USB and the current lack of accessories thats available, but then it is a brand new product so i'm sure the cases and what not will follow soon :-)
One last thing, the inclusion of a radio is great but why not DAB?! As in a few years it'll be useless.
Delightful little mp3 player! June 14, 2010

I'm really pleased with my new Sony mp3/media player - it's incredibly thin (a reported 7.2mm!) and also really light (64g). You really can just fit it in a pocket and not worry about the size or weight.
The sound quality of the mp3 player is really excellent though - a crisp full-bodied sound. I know there has been criticism about the volume you can get from this machine but so far I have not needed it any louder than say 2/3rds of its max volume. Perhaps if I travelled in noisier environments (like on many train or bus journeys) then this would be more of a problem. Although there is a "noise cancelling" setting for when you are on a bus or train - so perhaps this will help - and the earphones say that they can cut out 98% of peripheral noise - so maybe this will also help?
It's great to have my favourite pictures available on such a small unit - but large enough (at 2.5") for other people to see them properly.
The video is excellent - I played an HD film clip on it and it was excellent. I haven't watched a whole film on it yet but it's exciting just how portable this thing is to watch on the go.
The FM radio is excellent - the quality of the reception and the sound is much better than many other mp3 players (and even radios) I have had before. Setting up Preset FM radio stations is simple - it does all the scanning and setting itself.
All in all I am really impressed with this unit. OK at 16GB it's not the mp3 player with the largest capacity but with the quality of the pics, video and music AND its diminutive (and therefore portable) size it's a real winner for me!
Excellent player, suberb sound! May 21, 2010

This is a nifty little piece of technology. The sound qualty is brilliant, the headphones excellent and best of all, you can simply hook it up to your PC and drag and drop your music and video files. I've tried mp3s (various encodings, incl. VBR), mp4s, mpegs and AACs and all sound excellent. Im comparison to my i-pod, this player seems to be out of this world.
I found the functionality dead easy, no instruction manual required. The OLED screen is also quite good, but I'm normally not he person that bothers watching videos on such a small screen.
If you're in the market for a new mp3 player, look no further. If you have tried various mp3 players from diff. manufacturers, like me, but never felt 100% sure about whether you made the right choice, then this Sony player will take your doubts away.

The player is up to Typical Sony Standard, great sound, easy navigation,good video and photo quality, whilst my only criticism is the fact that the headphone socket is on the bottom, that said the hold switch is better situated on the side than earlier models
