Such a small thing, such a lot of pleasure!

8GB 19 January 2021 by Chopsuey (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified

This is my 3rd one and it is used every day. The only thing is that sometimes it doesn't charge. Whether its the USB plug, or the cable fitting into the player or something else I don't know but this has happened on all three, usually at the end of the battery life, but its happening on the new one this time. Otherwise I have never had such a reliable, multifunctional entertainment device. I have lots of talking books which I can listen to whilst doing my knitting, crochet, sewing or gardening. This has been a lifesaver during the lockdown. Sue

USB walkman (NWZ-B183F)

8GB 22 September 2016 by Jefffoo77 (Singapore) Verified Purchaser Verified

Pleased with the performance (sound clarity) but unfortunately, this is my 4th units. Over the last 3 yrs, 2 pcs malfunctioned after 12-14 months of usages. Can't charge, can't turn on etc. Quite disappointing coming from popular brand Sony. Pls relate my comments to ur QA/QC team. thanks.

Very good value for money

8GB 19 February 2023 by Dana78 (United Kingdom)

Does its job, very light, easy to load mp3, my son loves it. The only less positive feedback i have: not so easy to create playlists, you have to use the music center app which is annoying

Neat little unit

8GB 21 January 2023 by PatsyT (United Kingdom)

Purchased a week ago ready for admission to hospital as my very old Walkman has finally given up and my CD Walkman is a bit bulky for hospital. Instruction manual was very poor and I had to take advice from my tech son, who quickly set it up for me and I transferred my music without any hiccups. Still struggling to tune in the FM radio, but I will probably not use that facility that much. It has a lovely tone and I have been using my over the ear headphones. One niggle is that I cannot find a holder/protective cover for this model, and have had to purchase a protective screen cover separately - an added expense! But, all in all I am very happy with this item.

not recommended for podcast listeners

8 GB 29 June 2022 by alll (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified

I bought this primarily to listen to podcasts and it's essentially unusable for that. From stuff online, I knew I'd have to do some stuff manually (make a podcast folder, number the episodes to keep them in order). What I didn't realize was that the device doesn't keep track of where you are in the episode and fast forwarding is extremely slow and tedious. So if your listening is interrupted it's painful to get to where you were. Fine for music and radio

Not as good as previous model NWZ A 816

8GB 12 May 2022 by Aequitas (United Kingdom)

Regrettably I found this Walkman to be inferior in quality to my previous Walkman A 816 which was more solidly built, gave a better sound reproduction and also in the sound settings had two custom equalizer features. The earphones provided previously were ear buds and now have been replaced by cheap standard ear pieces. Can appreciate that time has moved on, but...........

Low quality, poor battery life, cheap garbage

4 GB 09 August 2021 by Aenima (United Kingdom)

I couldn't be more disapponted with this cheap, low quality plastic garbage product. It did work for 2 months, then it could only be switched on by pressing the reset button, now it does not switch on at all unless I connect it via USB for charging. However, once charged and the battery shows full, the battery drains within 1 hour or dies the following night. I had lots of Sony products (reliable walkman and disc player) throughout my life but this mp3 player has nothing to do with the quality Sony once stood for. Really a massive dissapiontment. I really regret having spent 90 Euros for this trash.

First MP3 player I have bought. Needed to consult the online Help Guides to set it up. Sticker over screen needs to have a notice on it to peel it off before starting setup, as I thought it was the screen image and couldn't make the device work. Only found I needed to download a driver for it by looking in the Help Guide, as nothing in the paperwork. Operation and downloads reasonably easy once learned and sound good.
