Superb ! Superb quality product. Had almost two weeks now, as unfortunately had to return Creative Zen because it 'froze' twice, within a few days of ownership. Found Sony ear phones with player too tinny, unless I play around with equalizer settings to increase bass. They are very clear though. So have just purchased some very good & portable sennheiser PX200 headphones. Must say cheaper option delivery service from Amazon on both products very quick ! Very easy to 'Drag & drop' music through Windows... more info
Absolutely superb player and transfer softwware. No mains charger, though. After an awful time with 2 Creative Zen Vs, one of which was incurably corrupt and the other unworkable with Creative's s/ware, I wrote off the £28 I spent on this garbage and went for the Sony. Can 138 5* reviews be wrong? NO! This player is so good. Why? Sound quality: really superb. Ease of music transfer: very easy indeed. Operation: simple, intuitive. Options: The EQ and other options for repro are outstanding. Design: sleek & neat. Manufacture: it's metal, not cheap-feeling plastic... more info
It just blows them all away It would be easy to just jump into the anti-Apple corner and send this Sony player up without anything concrete to put it there - but this is not really helpful to people looking for facts.

This was the beginning of a 'hate hate' relationship with one of the most awful devices made... more info
NWZA818 WALKMAN Superb machine,excellent sound quality charged up and loaded with music within hours of receiving no problem.Also a big plus if you connect to your PS3 a walkman icon appears and you can play or view content via tv or surround sound system.The only downside is the lack of mains charger,however i have purchased the sony usb mains adapter which works fine.Highly recommended.
