Razor sharp OLED screen
It may be small, but the WALKMAN® A845 boasts a large full colour 2.8" OLED screen, which brings videos, images and album art to you in bright, razor-sharp detail. A high contrast ratio and super quick response time means that even high-action scenes will appear smooth and clear. Menus are easy to use too, offering shortcut icons for access to a range of features. As a practical precaution, the screen’s also made of toughened glass to increase its resistance to scratches.
Obsessed with sound
The WALKMAN® A845 combines built-in Digital Noise Cancelling, with clever new earphones to deliver excellent audio fidelity while simultaneously eliminating distracting ambient noise by up to 98%. Add to that the unique closed and air-tight fit of the concept earphones and you have a truly immersive listening experience.
 The slim design means the A845 slips easily |
That’s enhanced by a number of advanced audio technologies including the S-Master Digital Amplifier which provides crystal clear sound, with no distortion or analogue signal errors. Clear Audio technologies work together to ensure you experience a natural sound, just like being at a live performance and Dynamic Normaliser balances volume levels between songs for smoother listening. There’s also a choice of five selectable equaliser modes, including Jazz, Pop and Heavy, for you to get the most out of different music genres.
The choice is yours
The WALKMAN® A845 works with TV and radio downloads from BBC iPlayer. This opens up access to over 400 hours of great TV and radio shows for your Walkman every week. A built-in FM tuner sets you free to explore 30 pre-set radio stations too. Add the WMC-NWV10 accessory cable to your kit, and you’ve got the option of playing your videos and music through your TV.
Music, videos and photos are just a drag and drop away
WALKMAN® works with open format files, which means that no matter where your entertainment is stored, you’ll be able to transfer and enjoy it while you’re on the move. You can easily transfer tracks from iTunes to your Walkman using the included Content Transfer app. Alternatively use Windows Media player or even just drag and drop from Windows Explorer.
Hours and hours of enjoyment
At 16GB the WALKMAN® A845 can be filled with up to 3,850 tracks or 60 hours of video. That’s a lot of entertainment, and you’re going to need plenty of time to enjoy it. That’s why the A845 has a battery life of up to 29 hours for music playback. Commutes, flights, road trips can all have a soundtrack now, thanks to the powerful in-built battery, which has a charge time of 3 hours.

I just don't understand why some people are saying the sound quality is not good... It's absolutely awesome! The difference is obvious when I compare it with my old Nano. The only frustrating this is that I need to change the setting and turn on the sound enhancement functions like Clear Bass, DSEE (what ever this means!?) and Clear Stereo etc. (Dear Sony, why don't you turn them on as default setting? No need to hide them!)
The OLED screen is also very impressive. I've downloaded several episodes of Top Gear onto the Walkman so I can watch them when I've finished reading the papers. Despite the relatively small screen (2.8"), its surprisingly comfortable to watch. The images are very crisp and bright unlike any other portable devices I have used including iPod Nano or a mobile phone! (Dear Sony, why aren't you setting brightness 5 as default setting either??)
On the downside, I did notice that the volume of this model does not go high as my Nano. Having said that, I never used to listen to music at max volume... The volume on my Walkman is sufficient for me to use during my commute, or in the gym. I have absolutely no regrets buying this new Walkman!
I'm into classical music and think this player is wonderful. Strings are not too bright. Bass is tight and controlled and on a well recorded piece such as Anne-Sophie Mutters Sibelius Violin Concerto you can even hear the bite of the bow on the strings. It has a dynamic sound stage and you can easily pick out the position of the instruments in the orchestra. Likewise, in Tchaikovsky's Tempest Overture the bass comes in as early as it does on my Hi Fi system with the sub woofer on. How on earth Sony have managed to get such deep bass through this small player and headphones I don't know. Wow!
All in all I think this is a wonderful little player and my only suggestion would be for Sony to produce one with more than a 16Gb memory.
I found the functionality dead easy, no instruction manual required. The OLED screen is also quite good, but I'm normally not he person that bothers watching videos on such a small screen.
If you're in the market for a new mp3 player, look no further. If you have tried various mp3 players from diff. manufacturers, like me, but never felt 100% sure about whether you made the right choice, then this Sony player will take your doubts away.
The radio is good but you will find that the battery life falls very short of sony's exspected forcast of 29 hours
