Customer Review: the greatest mp3 player...ever. yes, even more so than ipod
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, I was (and still am I guess) an IPOD fan and owned an 80 gb IPOD classic. I loved it to death for the two years I had it but it was recently stolen from me. I simply couldn't afford another IPOD of that size (it was an xmas present so I never spent a cent the first time around) so I started looking at the smaller IPODS or alternatives. I went with the sansa fuze (not a bad player but I had some issues with it..won't get into that here) so I took it back and decided to get this. Size (as long as it's 8gb or above) on a player isn't much of a concern to me since my music collection (2000 albums, easily) is so huge that there isn't a mp3 player out now that would ever hold it to begin with. Sure, its fun to say you have 9000 songs but you really can't listen to them all at once so I decided to tone it down to 16 gigs. This sony walkman is cheaper than the ipod of the same size so I went with the sony.
One of the best electronic decisions I ever made.
First off, this player sounds at least 20 times better than any IPOD with a rich full sound that envelops you so well that you can't even hear yourself think. There are multiple options to creat your own custom sounds and many settings to change how the music sounds to your ears. Very cool, way more audio options than an IPOD. It has a click will but it doesn't feel cheap at all and doesn't stick out and wobble like the with the fuze. It's integrated on the player surface and almost flush with it. The controls are well made and the touch click wheel on an ipod didn't always respond as fast as me but this does obviously. The bottom of the player has the headphone jack and USB port. The right side has the hold button and volume controls. The front has the click wheel with the play/pause button in the middle of the wheel. On the left of the wheel is the back/home button (click once to back up a menu or hold to take you to the main menu interface) and the right of the wheel is the option button (allows to many things, including deleting things from the player without having to plug it in) and you can hold that down to turn off. For ultimate customization, You can change the desktop color AND theme for the interface/background and it's more modern looking interface like you get on a touch screen cell phone.
And the coolest feature on this phone is the senseme option that scans your song collection and creates "mood" playlists based upon how your songs sound. For example, there is a mood "relax" and "energetic" and it puts songs in your playlist that it thinks best goes with these moods. It is very cool!
The headphones that come with it are barnone the best sounding earbuds I've ever heard in my life. Every electronic device ever come with average (or below average) sounding buds but this walkman is the exception. There is absolutely no reasons to invest in a better pair of headphones (unless you don't like earbuds).
I've just listed many pros but no cons...because there just isn't any cons to this amazing little mp3 player. The fact that this isn't anywhere near as popular as other players is such a crime and a shame.
