Sony Walkman NW-E005 2 GB

I bought this mp3 player about a year ago after dciding to upgrade by 512mb version and have found it overall just as good with the added memory . It has an easy to understand user intiface which has scroll through menus. It allow you to find a specific song with the search function whilst on play-through mode. The equliser is great allowing you to set your own specific sound, instead of just preset ones which it supplus as well. My faviourate feature is the HUGE batterly life which means before school/work it dosen't matter if you accidentaly left it playing overnight. Now the bad points: It is only really usable with sonicstage the sony software, which unlike the ...  Read the complete review

I seem to have a huge collection of MP3 players…the reason…well I easily get bored of my older items and they end up in a drawer hidden away. I don't necessarily update the MP3 player with 'better' models but players that are a particular colour or have particular features. I chose this MP3 player because of its 2GB memory. APPEARANCE --------------------- The MP3 player is quite small in size and it does fit quite easily in the hand which is good when running for the bus. It is quite lightweight which again suits me perfectly for use when travelling, running or in the gym. The MP3 player is violet with a silver lid covering the USB ...  Read the complete review

Whilst walking through a sony style shop in Germany, I remember being astounded by the fact that they were selling a Sony 2gb mp3 player for 30euros! It was soon nestled in my suitcase, as a potential replacement for my ageing 1st generation ipod shuffle. Aesthetically there is no comparison - whilst the shuffle had Apple's characteristic white elegance, the sony just looked so much nicer with its glossy black finish, couple with a satisfying sound when the USB cap is placed back on the player. The fact that it can double up as a USB dongle is fantastic, and with an OLED screen, it represents fantastic value for money. In terms of ...  Read the complete review

I purchased the sony NW-E005 to replace an ipod nano which finally gave up the ghost after being drowned countless times. On first impressions, whilst it may not have the ipod's looks the sony appears well built with its glossy body and liquid crystal display, it is also tiny being only just bigger than the average USB pen drive. Transferring music onto the player is unfortunately not as simple as drag and drop, instead relying on Sony's own Sonic stage software. Whilst this is not as infuriating as Itunes, it does mean you need to use the same computer everytime to update it. Playing wise the player is the usual sony high quality, ...  Read the complete review
