I still have not found a set of ear buds that will stay connected

Bought this to replace our pld I pod - found it to be just as good and easy to use with great sound quality

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 The earphones provided previously were ear buds and now have been replaced by cheap standard ear pieces.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...........

I enjoy this basic Sony Walkman .However the 8G storage is small, I would recommend to set 16G as minimum capacity for any product design.

Very basic design. Hope to be able to do some customization: e.g. to start with frequently used folder instead of All Songs.

a) Batteries last barely 3hours of playing time. b) Can't compile to playlist on the unit itself c) Can't compile to playlist on Mac as well d) Size of memory barely adequate for today's use.

I've tried many MP3 Players but always come back to the Walkman. Easy to use, long battery life before charge required and good sound. I now own two of them.

Good sound with equalizer options. Fine pixel picture but unneeded. Bought Oct 2019. As of Feb 2022 play button won't work. I can't turn off machine.

Very happy with the sound and ease of transferring songs into it. Wish it connect via bluetooth to my Sony ANC headphones.

I was delighted to receive this as a Christmas present. It's a Sony so I expect years of excellent service. I like the "sound" it makes and appreciate the Bass Boost.

(This is actually my wife's but these are her opinions) For what it was bought for, it's excellent, but I only use it for the radio

This is my second one, I love the timer setting and the next day the player returns back to where it left off. Shame they don`t make a case for this model.

Have been using this product for 3 weeks. Battery shows full charge, after unplugging from PC, battery indicator shows not full, have to charge again for full charge. Need to press buttons slightly harder to select.

I bought this 2 week ago to replace a phillips mp3 player that i had for years my grandson loaded 6 cds onto it so i have 200 songs to listen to once i masterd the controls and found the volume control on the side i am fine just come out of hospital so when i cannot sleep at night this mp3 player is a godsend

Just wanted a device to store music without superfluous extra features. Quality sound, ease of use and value.

HAVE TRIED TO CHARGE UP THE BATTERY SEVERAL TIMES AS PER THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL BUT NO LUCK. COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY

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.

Play's the stations I want when I want. My last portable radio was a Bush and this is smaller, as easy to use with good reception.

Had thought of buying a cheap one so glad I didn’t

this product is an excellent example from Sony full of tech

Bought item for running, easy to fit into pockets and a very light product.

TOTALLY THE BEST AND WORTH IT. LOVE THE DESIGN AND EASY FUNCTIONALITY.

it is impossible to play several albums one after another. if you make a playlist it just plays all the number one songs then the number 2 songs etc.

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.

I like it can play music for long hours. Quick battery charging.

I have returned this to Amazon and have now got the NW A45 which is much better. I am currently testing it.

Bought to replace my aging old Walkman, very disappointed with the quality and feel of the new one compared to my old one

Very good sound quality. Used only for classical music and practise my singing.

what I miss: output too low for beeing used as external player connected to my radio no SD card slot to extend capacity

I bought a version of this Walkman years ago and it was brilliant, worked with Windows Media Player etc. I am disappointed with this version, doesn't seem as good quality and cannot get it to play my playlists off Windows Media Player. Sorry Sony.

boughgt it and the ony thing that works is fm wouldn"t recomend to anyone

I bought this product this month and very happy with it I listen to it while travelling to work

Worked for one day, now will not load any music. My iphone will not load pics, so it could be Microsoft Edge that was loaded onto my PC without permission. Will be sending it back to Argos.

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
