Product Reviews

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

I bought this as a present from Argos for a great price and with good delivery and collection options. It is easy to use and charge, download music and tune the radio.

very disappointed bought 2 for my kids Christmas present . but i cant connect them to pc tried all the methods they said to do but nothing is working. wast of money. also i tried to contact support very poor regarding the name of sony.

An excellent piece of equipment, had one before so know a bit about it's capabilities.All tuned in and working well. Recommended

I bought this recently and was able to download all the music I had on my PC. It was a painless task and very quick to carry out.

I bought this to replace my old Sony NWZ-E444 which has given me many years' good service, but is now clearly failing. In truth I was a bit disappointed when I first examined the NW-E394- it does not seem to be as substantial as the older unit, and the screen display resolution is poorer. That said, the audio quality impressed me, and the FM radio works well, so I am happy with the purchase. I have not yet transferred any MP3 files so my review is a bit tentative.

The included instructions were awful but once I found out how to input music from my computer, I found it easy to do and play and the sound reproduction is very good. Finding albums and songs is easy. The provided earphones are horrible and won't stay in the ears so I use my old ones. I haven't tried to use the FM radio yet so cannot comment on that.

Battery life much shorter than expected. Earpods uncomfortable and lacking left/right tactile identification. Also lacking tactile pips or shaping on front controls for blind use. Sound is good once repalced with better earpods.

A small yet powerful mp3 player. Simple to use - merely connect to PC to add/delete songs. I had to create individual folders for three files as I wanted to play them alone - but again a simple matter to do so.

Excellent player does the job perfectly plenty of storage..

A useful item which could really do with a bluetooth capability. I loaded mine with audible books and found that having heard the first chapter of the first book it went to the first chapter of the second book. I have had to wipe all the other books off to listen to one. I expected it to play each book in turn.

Rather disappointed as the battery life is very short. The Instruction Manual suggested to charge 2 hrs and the MP3 could run for 135 hrs. However, each time can only run for 3 hrs.

easy to use and the music play back is brilliant..

very pleased with purchase only slight concern that battery life does not seem quite as long as advertised

I have bought it for music and to listen to podcasts. The quality of the sound is high, i love the design and i love the menu. I am very happy with it

Excellent sound. Will be good if have Bluetooth function.

will not buy any more gadgets from anywhere without instructions and they are not available either on line its baloney searching out the impossible and contact button isn't really contact its all a bit of a farce really as contact should mean contact like text or email... from disappointed customer.

I am sorry to say that this is not as good as my last Walkman. Very plasticky, screen not very clear, no date or time feature , sound quality very poor, does not have as many nice features as the NWZ-S616F. Very difficult to load music and poor earphones.

I bought this for my husband do that he could listen to his favourite music while he is having chemo It took ages to decipher the diagrams on how to download music but eventually worked it out. Now it is very useful and the sound is a good quality. .

This is a great mp3 player. Very easy to load songs onto and sound is great. It has a warning for if you turn the volume too high so that protects your ears. Earphones are lovely fit and comfortable to wear. Sound on radio is great not tinny like another reviewer posted. All in all a great product. Would definitely recommend.

bought as a second player so I could take most of the albums I have and I like the little switch on the side to stop the player from being switched on or off by mistake. I can't fault the player as the other one I have is about 5 years old.

Got this on my birthday it's a great machine, light and easy to carry when out walking. Not a fan of the ear plugs but used my own comfort ones and it's great. Only thing I find is it's takes only a light touch to turn it on and I sometimes find just grazing my hand against the buttons can move the music on. Not a major problem though.

I bought the MP3 to replace an i-pod. I found the Walkman an absolute joy to use. Setting up was easy, and making sure that I used folders meant finding what I wanted to play much simpler than the i-pod. As someone who is hard of hearing, I would like in ear headphones if possible, but that's the only criticism.

Cannot say anything about this product, it has been put in the "rubbish drawer" having spent hours trying to get it to respond to Sony's Music Centre for PC. Wish I hadn't wasted £60 on it. Bought a sim free phone (not Sony ) which is great to use

Had this a while now and it's great. Easy to set up and use.

It's nice and compact so fits easily in my pocket. Unfortunately I am going to have to buy other earplugs as the ones that come with this model are too big for my ears, which makes this product even more expensive. The only way the plugs will stay in place is to keep a finger over each one. Not a good look or practical when exercising. Radio sound is a bit tinney as well. Wouldn't mind but it's not a cheap item.

I washed my old one in a hot wash and it didn't survive! This one feels cheaper than my old one and the screen is not as clear, th ewriting is very poor. I haven't tried putting music on it yet.

A bit awkward to set-up and register.....think the website was playing up but fine now.

Second Sony Walkman I've had; the battery dies and cannot be replaced after a couple of years, which is a bit shute. And yes, all the guidance was followed. Why not make a more eco-friendly one where the customer can replace the battery? The fast forward is a bit rubbish. But the Walkman is a lot easier to use than an Apple pod, which I why I replaced my first one.

Disappointing, the buttons aren't as easy to feel as on my old one, the radio doesn't have a stop button and I can't get playlists set up.

I am happy with the Walkman and it is good and the sound is good.

I love this product and I would recommend it, I use mine to listen to the radio and my library books. It's very user friendly. I broke my last Sony Walkman which I had few a few years, My husband bought me my second Sony Walkman to replace the one I broke, I'm so happy he did.

Had this as a Christmas present to replace a previous one that had worn out from over use. Irritations of the previous model such as always catching buttons and turning on so constantly draining the power have been sorted with a lock on the side.
