This review focuses mainly on the video features, which is nice with the oLED and all, however, I been told the selling feature of this product is its stunning sound quality. And It's for this quaility that I currerently have the Walkman on my Christmas list. Mind you, it will be nice to watch a show on it too from time to time as I make my way to work on the subway.
None of these mp3 players should really be compared to the ipod touch in my opinion. The ipod touch and iphone is defiantly more of a all around entertainment system. Tell me when there's a mp3 player with over 75,00 apps and I'll consider. But to the people who want a all around sound system then knock yourselves out.
not just because of that...but because this Mp3 player has a straordinary audio...the best I've ever heard...its sound even better than my PC...i don't think the Zune player is better in audio terms
What's the point of reviewing a WLAN internet enabled device in a place which has no WLAN internet ?!
On a stationary train at Kings Cross underground station may be a cool place to make a video, but it's epic fail when it comes to demonstrating a WLAN enabled device.
hey guyz just wanted to know does any one of u how bought there walkman from amazon,got slacker app in it.coz in the sony style website it shows there is the slacker app on the main menu of walkman...
Looks good, I've had my Cowon S9 for months now and the AMOLED screen looks too awesome for words, was watching Beowolf on it earlier and it made the viewing experience 10x better than regular TFT.
This looks ace. I've have an Itouch for about 18 months, but when it's time to upgrade I'm definitely getting a Sony. I've had a Walkman in all forms (even Minidisc) and yea, sound quality is out of this world. Also, Itunes is seriously f*****g me off more and more these days.
Well I've ordered mine looks great sound even better and the reason you need the headphone is the build in mic's for the negative wave creation. p.s better reviews out the like all of them lol
Well I am getting a SONY one. I bought two iPods, both lasted just 18 months and died. Apple were cracp when I called them up, so thats the end of that. Crap devices, I want music, reliability and decent storage. SONY looks like they have done it. Off to the shops
Did he say the walkman sounds alright? Sony Walkman along with Samsung P3, and Creative products have some of the best sounds. The itouch is not meant a overall sound product.
walkman always had better sound quality in terms of lows, mids and highs. wider frequency ranges, if you've read the specs of the devices thmslf and the headphones supplied or even used these devices in the past, you would be aware of this fact.. Apple is no comparison... never was. portible devices are in sony's blood, where as apple came along just a few years ago. i would use apple for better interface, but would use walkman for better sound quality. don't agree?do some research then:P
On what hifi sound and vision review site, they said the quality of sound on the iPod classic is amazing as well as the iPod touch. SO people who say that the SQ on the ipod is rubbish is a complete idiot!
i read that bose headphones are compatible with ipods (without EQ settings). and i was thinking if they sound better with sony walkmans (with EQ settings).
hello my fellow walkmanians, i need your help in battle on choosing...fuck that i don't know how to do this. i want to buy this x-series and a bose headphone. i had the sony walkman nwz-s736 and i know how good the earphones are. all i want is sameor better sound quality headphone than that. should i get the on-ear or the qc3. Or any good headphone.
bose is 90% marketing, Stay away, buy Sennheiser, or something like shure.. and buy in ears, theyre easier to drive, look at the Senheiser IE - 8 and buy an imodded ipod.
why should i buy a portable MUSIC player like the touch when its sound quality truly sucks?
what is a music player worth when it isn't fun anymore to listen to MUSIC with some decent headphones? itunes, apps, and email-function won't make the sound of the touch itself better.
the x series eats the touch for breakfast in terms of sound quality ; )
ipods do have very good sound quality, but theyr not worth buying for anyone who actually wants to take their music back of easily. or share music or customise the player in any way
ehm. ur quite ignorant. The ipod touch has just the same sound quality as the iPod classic, and it doesnt use mp3 files, + the device has a much better amplifier, and if u want to use those enormous headphones iwht like 300 ohms, you have to get a protable external amp for any device. What headphones do you have that deseres such good quality? The X series cant even drive them..
unfortunately i have to agree with BornToRun here. There is actually so much more the touch can do compared to this. The web browser on this sucks, no multitouch, no accelerometer... wtf is going on with sony?!
Good web browsing is one feature that i treasure the most in portable media players, and the sony just doesnt live up to that.
So now im looking to the Zune HD, if that doesnt cut it then im giving in and getting an ipod
Cowon S9 owns them all!

Man i want to get this mp3 so bad ,but it is a bit out of my price range.
Sony should make this at least $150 for 16gb & $230 for 32gb.
