Sony Walkman NW-A3000 20 GB Reviews

The Sony Walkman NW-A3000 was my first ever MP3 player, as such I had nothing to compare it to. I found it very hard wearing, easy to use and very stylish. The best points about the player are mostly the quality and style that Sony deliver in terms of the build and look of the device. Also the sound quality is superb, it really ...  Read the complete review

I remember when i got this MP3 player for my birthday a few years ago! Back then it was 'the thing' and so i was so pleased! Due to the fact that technology has expanded what with all these different Ipods coming out i hadnt used the sony walkman for a few years but after a total clean out of my room- i re-discovered it and now use it even more ...  Read the complete review

I bought this player after having a 4GB Ipod Nano, which broken and wanted something a bit better value for money. The Sony was about the same price (£160) and about 5 times the capacity of the latest Ipod at the time, so I thought I'd give it a shot. On first impressions, I felt that the Connect software it came with was fairly easy to ...  Read the complete review

Whilst I'm aware that most people won't want to purchase such an old model, I still feel a certain responsibility in informing any potentional buyers of the utterly horrible experience I had as an owner of this Walkman. I won't go into the details of every aspect of the player because, quite honestly, my negative criticism is all that's ...  Read the complete review

I bought this new sony walkman after putting my last walkman in the washing machine. It was an updated model and initially both looked and seemed as much but unfortunately this walkman is let down by one or two things. Firstly the positives, the design is far better in my opinion than the design of iPods. In particular the way the ...  Read the complete review

I bought one of these players about three (maybe four actually) years ago, and its still going strong. I think I paid 159.99 for it, it's the 20gb purple one. I bought it from Comet and took out the three year insurance on it, which actually paid off in the end as I will explain later. The player is quite heavy and bulky compared to the new ipods ...  Read the complete review

So, the sony walkman. I've had mine for two years now - I guess this won't be of much use to anyone who wanted to buy something completely new - I believe they've discontinued it, sadly. But along wth other reviewers, I am saddened by the continual comparisons to the iPod: '20g? How many videos is that?' well if you want to watch videos, you can ...  Read the complete review

I recently purchased one of these, and i can safely say that they are quite good. It is certainly not perfect, but it is good. The battery life is suprisingly excellent too. As someone mentioned in another review, a down side to this MP3 player is the volume, it does not let you turn up the volume very high, and when you are out riding a bike in ...  Read the complete review

This mp3 player boasts a wide range of options that are not available on your typical ipod. However, due to technical difficulties with the connect player, sonic stage must be used to load tracks. Whilst it suffices for getting music onto the player, a great number of the special features that attracted me to the player in the first place are ...  Read the complete review

The Sony Walkman A3000 impresses as soon as you unwrap it, without doubt one of the most stylish players about. However, the functionality of this players really lets it down, and leaves it sadly lacking compared to similar products from competitors. The sound quality if fine, but it's just far too quiet, it is not possible to crank ...  Read the complete review

Sadly i feel the Sony NW-A3000 has been hit badly by the typical reacton of "lets compare this to the i-pod", the problem with this reaction being that the Sony loses a lot of marks for its own innovations and quality as an mp3 player in exchange for a lot of "but i pods do this and that". So to begin with I'd like to say I am ...  Read the complete review

I suppose, this is one of the best and most stilish players ever produced. The osund quality is outstanding,players design is unusual and very impressive,as well as the palyers features. Ofcourse it has some drawbacks, like players body scraches incredibly fast!The connect Player software,provded with the player is awful-it slows down ...  Read the complete review

I've now owned the sony for about 6months. During this time it's been reliable and the battery still lasts 30hrs+. The screen in sunlight it can be hard to see the menu, actually in bright sunlight it's impossible. The sound quality is fine, the build quality it great, it's built like a tank and weights about the same too. I've ...  Read the complete review

I got this as a birthday gift near the start of the year, back then I felt the price was a little steep but at the sametime reasonable because of the Sony nametag. Main reason I thought it was steep was because there was no colour screen just a basic LCD and the features were minimal and basic (Playlists, Shuffle, Repeat) although I feel most ...  Read the complete review

this walkman is intersting for me especially the price is good but the problem is that it is so big to make in the pocket that 's mean you should take a satchel with you in order to put it there but i like the color is nice and it remember me like a mobile what is good is that it is so different from the walkman it's seem like mobile. despite the ...  Read the complete review

This particular walkman really impressed me BEFORE i'd brought it. Im afraid however, that my opinion quickly changed with me needing to take it back to the store for various faults. The first being that the headphones broke after 2 weeks. (a definite negative). The second being that all of my music kept being randomly deleted, so it appeared that ...  Read the complete review

This mp3 player is extremely easy to use, with brilliant software for the pc. Whilst you are listening to one song you can search for another and formulate a playlist. You can also use the usefull shuffle program which randomly selects songs, but you can chose the setting of that shuffle- by date or favourites- which i like ...  Read the complete review
