These devices are well made, and based on experience with previous models and other brands the sound must have been upgraded because I detect a better quality sound this time around. Same music formats I have always used (top mp3 rate available for Windows Media Player shuffling).
I use this plugged into my car system.
Or I use better headphones.
The ones that come with it are just OK.
One draw back of this devise. When I tell it shuffle and don't repeat, if I turn it off, then, when I turn it back on it still starts at the beginning of the list.(so it does repeat) So I have to skip songs until I get to where it left off. If there is a way to stop this, someone let me know.

I love this MP3 player. The screen is big enough to see what music I want to play. This works perfectly for me as I work in a bank and while we are allowed to use mp3 players we are limited to ones that can't connect to the internet and doesn't have a camera so my choices were limited.
The only downside to this player is that the SIM card isn't removable and the only way to charge the player is by plugging it into a computer and you can using it while it is charging; I wish that it came with a wall charger.

I've had Sony Walkman's since the 80s, starting with a cassette player. Bought this to replace my 10 year old Sony for running. Easy set up right out of the box. Better battery life than earlier models. I also have a high end Sony Hi-Res Walkman (but I am not going to run outside in the rain with that model). Sound quality is good.

This was purchased for a pre-teen grandchild and it works great. He wanted to listen to music and didn't need all the horns and whistles of the more expensive options.

We ordered 3 of these for our daughters for Christmas. We wanted a way for them to listen to music with out all the apps and smarts tect that you get with other Devices. They are perfect for what we need. They hold tons of music. We don’t have to worry about them being taken to school or on the bus. Even if there were to break we could easily replace them. Unlike the 200.00 dollar I pods. Bought for a 14, 12, and 10 year old.

Great little player. Had to find one without the voice recording but still had FM radio. Sony cannot be beat for quality MP3 players and something that lasts. Tried the low budget player for a fast replacement of one that was worn out. Had to return it as it was DOA. Have never had an issue with Sony.

I bought the Sony 4G awhile back and since it is almost full, I decided to purchase an 8 G. Since I am an avid Classical music lover, I was looking for good quality sound and ease of use. The Sony MP3 has delivered.

The player itself is okay. A ny has certainly made it cheaper quality than my old one, but still a nice player. The thing I hate is you have to use Media Go on a windows computer, and I hate media go. I liked the content transfer my old player used. The only reason I bought a new player was because my old one is not compatible with window's 10 other than that it's still a great player. The new one is okay. The sound Is good , the screen a tad smaller but overall a good player. I just hate media go.

I got this so I don't have to haul around a ton of cd's in my car, plus my classic has a jack for this to plug into the stock am/fm radio . Also I have a huge music library So 8GB of memory is a lot of music to load up. And I like the idea that I can change it up but I've got over 1800 songs on it now and almost 2gb of room left. I just don't like the head phones, so I got another pair.

I remember my original Walkman was yellow and straight out of the 1990s. So when I didn't want to use my phone for my music this was my go to. My computer was pretty ancient so using vista's media player to load music isn't as easy as on the older models but other than that, this is affordable, holds tons of songs and playlists and super stylish. Would reccomend.

Its a bit tricky to program, be careful when shutting down not to accidently ta the on button. Perfect size for carrying. Sound sincere , soft on bass, tweets lost, give it a 7 on sound through my beat in ear, will be trying over ear head phones.
