Customer Review: so far so good
I just got my Sony 8GB Walkman yesterday, and I have to say I like it very much.
Pros:
1) Sound Quality
2) Looks
3) After the initial charge, it's Plug and Play
4) Really easy to Sync with Windows Media Player 11 - I didn't have to install anything to sync, it was already on my computer. I'm glad because I've read several reviews where people complained about installing and uninstalling software the player came with, just because it didn't work.
Cons:
1) I don't like the headphones too much, they are a little too big, but that's not a huge problem as I can always replace it.
2) I also haven't figure out how to get the battery display working. If someone can give me a hint I'd appreciate it.
3) I would also like more if there was some relevant information displayed on the player during the initial charge. It didn't say if it's charging, and how much more it has to charge, and it didn't say that it's over, after 3.5 hours of charging. Maybe I had a problem because I can't get the battery level to display. How do I do this?
Customer Review: Now it is my favorite player
I have been fed up with the second generation of iPOD Video and Kenwood HD30GB9 (an expensive Japanese player which is not sold in the US) before this one came into my eyes. Sony have made lots of excellent players in the past, and the A series video players are the best they provide right now. The 8G/16G flash memory within such slim and delicate artwork is enough to keep all the collection I have, given that I'm a pure audiophile using this player only for music. The software is very easy to use and fully compatible with PC (Sure, because it's Windows Media Player), which contains one most important function missing in iTunes - library update. With regard to sound quality, neither of my previous players is a match in replaying Jpop. The vivid vocal, real and tight bass, and wide headroom make a superb listening experience every day. Now it is my favorite player that I would love to take with me all day long.
