This Walkman was a pretty awesome purchase. I picked it up wanting to have a smaller, more personal way to listen to music and honestly I wasn’t disappointed. It plays basically any file type under the sun, it’s small and durable, it’s battery lasts forever and most importantly it sounds great. You won’t notice as much of a difference over bluetooth but it really is a step up over the sound quality you get on Spotify. I think the one downside is that it’s pretty rigid in terms of sorting and menus, there’s no feature like a queue and it won’t sort by specific parameters, which is a problem when a lot of files are organized by 3 or 4 different artists or names. I also found that the menus would run a little weird after you add a ton of music, though not terribly. But ultimately, for this price, I think the bump in audio quality is worth it and it’s just such a nice little thing to have. Get some stuff off Bandcamp, it’ll sound great.

Sony has really kicked up the ante with this well-made Walkman. Easy to use and coupled with the Sony Music Center this has been a simple joy to use. 256 GB card carries most of my tunes in either Hi-Res or DSEE HX which, btw, really increases the listening experience. Use one of my hot stuff cordless or the Sony wireless for hours of listening Fun Fact--My Walkmans from the early 2000s are still functioning without issue. I expect the same here

I liked everything about this Sony Walkman, the sound quality was excellent also the battery life, interface wasn't that bad either. One thing that was a deal breaker was the bluetooth didn't work on any of my speakers. I ended up returning it, but I would have kept the Walkman if the bluetooth worked. I will probably try another model.

Decided to get this over diffrent brands and diffrent models. I have never had a ipod of any other dap I have always used my phone and boy have I been missimg out on the rich sounds produced by this device. Battery life is great, that is why I chose this device over the nwa105. Sound is amazing It is light weight The sony music program is not that great but you dont have to use it. Seen people complaining about not having headphones. If this unit came with headphones it would cost an addational $200. I would recomment this to everyone.

Overall sound is good and it's small and sleek that's easy to hold. But I'm picky with sound quality and didn't feel like it was a big upgrade over my s7 which is what I expected from a dedicated player. Actually prefer the smoother and easier sound I get from my s7. Really wanted to like it because of the battery life and my experience with their older mp3 player but in the end decided not to keep it. I may need to try their higher end models.
