5.0 out of 5 stars Sony WNZA865B 16GB Walkman - Black 25 Nov 2011

Sony NWZA865B.CEW Series 16GB Walkman - Black - What a lovely thing this is - I have had this now for about a month and I have come to realise that I made the right choice with this Walkman. At first I found the touch screen too sensative but after fitting a protection film to the screen it is now just right. I chose this model because it seemed to major on its Bluetooth connectability, and quite righty - not only connecting to Bluetooth headphones but also allowing bluetooth transfers in and out, which I find very handy. This is the first Bluetooth device have come acrose that allows you to prioritize Bluetooth to give either higher qualty Music or higher quality connectability via Bluetooth - this works well in practice. This Walkman comes with "Media Go" which loads onto your computer when you first connect the Walkman - it is through this that you can also transfer your Music, Pictures & Video. You can also transfer BBC podcasts through Media Go (just folow the BBC Podcast Guide). Oddly however Media Go does not transfer BBC iPlayer Programs which need to be transferred onto the Walkman by syncing in the normal way with Windows Media Player (again follow the BBC iPlayerGuide). You can also use Windows Media Player to sync Music etc if you want. All the Album Art is transferred onto the Walkman and looks realy good.The Walkman even has a Karioke option, and has alot of options to tune the sound to how you like it. I am a keen Audio Book person and I use the "Overdrve" audio book consol on my computer (available as a free download form East Sussex Libary webpage). You can tansfer the Libary's audiobook downloads onto the Walkman using the Overdive's own transfer wizard, and they work a treat.(ps Audio Book downloads are currently free at the moment via East Sussex Library web page). I have read some reviews that suggest the volume of this Walkman is not loud enough and I must disagree as I have not needed to use more than just over half volume and the excelent noise cancelling ear buds that come with it realy do work as I have found that I do not need to increase the volume when on the train as I used to with my previuos MP3 player. It is a great improvement on my previous MP3 player and I am very pleased I bought it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sony NZWA865B - Sonic brilliance 4 Feb 2012
By shaune1970
8 years ago when looking for my first MP3 player I decided to look beyond iPods and went for a Creative Zen Sleek instead. People questioned my judgement until they listened to it and couldn't believe how much better it sounded than their oh-so-cool iPods!
Fast forward to December 2011 and imagine my despair when I lost my beloved Zen on holiday! Of course the first thing I did was look at iPods to see how they had progressed. I almost resigned my ears to Apple when I descovered the Sony NZWA865 which was getting very positive reviews but miniscule sales figures compared to iPods. Once again my instinct told me to stray from the herd and choose the Sony. Once again people thought I'd lost the plot but sure enough they now agree that this little Sony (with the bundled earphones) walks all over iPods especially in the way it delivers sound to your ears. The clarity and depth of sound delivered is positively spine tingling. I am rediscovering tracks that I thought I knew off by heart. I'm noticing additional sounds and voices that were previously lost - not just when listening on the old Zen but my home and car hi-fi's too. The touch screen is very nice to use and the side buttons for track and volume control are very welcome (allowing you to listen in bed without disturbing your partner!). There is plenty of sound adjustment available including an equaliser. It also looks good too - better than an iPod I think.
So if you want be just one of the herd and want a jack-of-all-trades MP3 player then go ahead and join the iPod queue. On the other hand if you want an MP3 player that is a master in sound then you will be richly rewarded by the Sony. As my late father used to say - just because something is the most popular it doesn't necessarily means it's the best. Go on give it a go - it won't hurt!

5.0 out of 5 stars PLEASE DONT BE PUT OFF BY VOLUME CAP! 7 Dec 2011
By stevo
I have been looking at a new mp3/mp4 player for a few weeks and i had considered cowon s9 and other sony products. my main priority is sound quality. I have owned a ipod nano for the last few years and never had an issue with it, at least not until i found my old sony mini disc and decided to have a listen. I could not believe how much it better it sounded than my ipod. I listened to the same songs on each player the ipod honestly sounded awful. so much so that until i purchased this A865 i was back on my minidisc!
I wasn't fussed about any particular features, i just wanted a player that sounded good to me and my god does it sound good. I have set my own EQ and turned on the other sound enhancements that the A865 offers and im blown away, every song sounds new. DON'T BE PUT OFF BY THE VOLUME CAP THAT MANY ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT, i was worried about this but the volume goes up to 30 and i have it on 15/16 and it is plenty loud enough, some peoples hearing must be knackered if this player is not loud enough. i cranked up the volume earlier and managed the vol at around 19 and my ears were thumping and that is 11 notches from full.
setup is very easy the whole of my itunes library was transferred in no time, even songs which i had purchased from itunes which i thought would be subject to DRM (digital rights management) were transferred.
i can't comment on any other features like bluetooth etc, all i know is the sound quality is incredible. i purchased the white version from amazon which is £25 cheaper than the black and came in at £99 which for something which sounds as it does, to me, is incredible.
