Author's Review
Sony is always a great name in sound and is the main reason that I purchased this new Mp3 player rather than any other.
First of all, I really liked the simple shape and style that this mp3 player has as well as being very light weight and small. Second, the picture quality is great and plays videos very very well. Third, the sound, just like I thought, is very clear and definitely cd quality as long as you download high quality songs.
As we all know, there are so many different Mp3 player companies now. Of course theres a lot of duds out there and I think that as long as you buy from a well-known company that you should get a decent buy. But if you are going to buy one, why not go for a great name instead of just an okay product? Don't be fooled into buying something cheap just because the price is low. Chances are that it is going to break within a few weeks. Sony has always been my favorite brand as far as sound goes. My surround sound is Sony, as well as my dvd players and cd players. As I'm sure you remember, it wasn't that long ago at all that the Sony Walkman was the biggest name in portable cd players. The same goes here for the Mp3 players. They have definitely put time into making their product high-quality with great sound and high definition. If you are like me then you like players that can reach high volumes, which this one definitely does. Another thing that needs to be said about the Sony Walkman Mp3 player is that the batter life is awesome. It says that you can play music for up to 33 hours, which I wouldn't know because I haven't tried to see how long I can get non-stop play. I will tell you that I definitely haven't charged it for at least a week at a time though. And lastly, this Mp3 player comes with a built in FM tuner, which is great for when you get sick of your 4,500 songs.
Last thought.. this Mp3 player will keep you busy for hours and is great for anyone who wants an Mp3 player.
