Sony Walkman NW-A1000 6 GB

I recieved this walkman in the basic silver colour pictured for Christmas of 2005. I was extremely pleased with it and to this day still am. I was always against ipods as a lot of my friends ipods broke for no apparent reason but this has never let me down. Sound quality- The sound quality on this mp3 player is excellent, and to my ears sounds identical to the cds origional quality. when ripping the music I find that there is virtually no difference between high quality tracks and low quality, whichever you choose on this your music will sound great. Another nice feature is that you can select different EQ mixes to suite the style of music you listen to, and ...  Read the complete review

In truth I never dreamed of owning a Walkman, not since I was ten and tapes were still very cool. It was fifteen years later when I did end up with one, when my second I Pod in succession had just been stolen and the insurance refused to pay (again). So you would think my reflection on a product that came to me as a result of heart breaking Grand-theft might not sound too good, but not so here; the sound quality is more than acceptable, the looks are far from laughable, and while the 6 Gig storage is certainly debatable, the lower price will always sound good to me. Ok, so the controls are slow, and at times the processor gets confused and waits at the bus stop when I'm ...  Read the complete review

Firstly, I was impressed considerably with the Sony Walkman, having previously owned an Ipod Mini it was a refreshing change and the design was eye catching and exciting in comparison. The software included with the player, Sony's own Connect player, however was less impressive. The interface of the software in contrast to the player itself was rather confusing and complex. The time to import and export songs, from CD's and to the player respectively, was at times inconvienent and excessively slow in comparison to the ease and speed of ITunes. However,after putting a considerable chunk of my music collection on to the lightweight player I was ...  Read the complete review

On first glance, the Sony NW-A1000 looks like a futuristic pod, with its rounded corners and sleek body. Its fantastic aesthetic qualities make it ideal and appealing to users that want to make a fashion statement. Its is clearly obvious that this player was designed with aesthetics as a primary objective, therefore it might not impress users that want a player that is rich in features, Its battery stamina is quite good, on average providing up to 14 and a half hour of continuous audio playback. Other than the bog standard features, the player lacks additional features and functions such as a microphone or radio capabilities which would definitely be ...  Read the complete review

I received my Sony Walkman as a gift for my birthday over a year ago now. I am still as pleased as i was when it was new. Looks- The actual player itself looks sleek and smart and comes in several different colors. I have a blue one which i think was a limited edition although i am not too sure. I do have to say that compared to many other popular mp3 players such as the ipod the Walkman beats it on looks! Sound- The sound quality is great! There are different sound settings to choose from such as Rock, Classic etc. There are also some custom settings which i use as you can create a great quality sound. Software- The ...  Read the complete review
