Advantages: Fantastic sound quality, user friendly

Disadvantages: Lacks extra functions such as Microphone and radio capabilities

When looking at the Sony NW-A805, you can't help but wonder how all the features are fitted into a player that is only 1 centimetres thick. One of the compromise of having such a thin player would be the quality of the display screen.

The player has a good menu structure that is designed well, along with sensitive controls, this player is undoubtedly user friendly. When using the supplied headphones, the sound produced was exceptional with clarity and a good output power, which gives consistent bass. Upon using an additional pair of headphones, the sound quality was almost the same as the ones produced by the supplied headphones, since they were brilliant. The player also has a volume limiter, which would help you if you want to avoid damaging your hearing from listening at full volume.

Just like all players made by Sony, you will need to install the supplied software which is then used to convert the files if necessary. The player supports all audio files in the DRM, WMA, MP3, M4A, Atrac3 and WAV.

Its battery stamina is guide decent, on average providing up to 28 hours of continuous audio playback and about 7 hours of continuous video playback. It takes 1 and a half hours on average to fully charge the player.

The player supports videos, however the rather small display screen only measuring 4.2 centimetres which isn't tiny but not suitable to watch videos for long periods of time.

Summary: This is a fantastic player if you do not primarily use the video function
