    I only use Sony devices and this Walkman take the cake on the ability to use bluetooth headphones and avoids the tangling of wires.

    I love this device! I like how it pulls up a separate playlist when I plug it into my car from when I'm listening to it directly with headphones. Only downside is, I can't figure out how to shuffle or change my playlist when it's plugged in and charging through my car. Otherwise, it's the best MP3 player I've owned.

    User interface is really nice. I was able to easily transfer my files from iTunes to the MP3 player. I bought a micro SD card for expanded storage as well. Great battery life and the display is very crisp. So much better than an iPod. Not to mention this thing can play lossless files. Really happy with this purchase and highly recommend to other audiophiles.

    This player does have bluetooth but I perfer to use it wired I like the overall sound stage that this player gives when you give it the proper food (files). user interface is not so good, learning curve will be there once you get over that you will be good. don't drive high impedance cans with this it will need an external amp to do so I use DUNU Titan 1 IEM and they sound wide clean and awesome
