Review:
have the 8gb version nwz-818, brilliant sound best ive heard on a mp3 player & i have owned a few? just got rid of new nano 8gb video as sound was awful even with sennheisser cx 300 headphones in? the standard headphones on this player i would give about 8 out of ten, but just a little too much leakage for my liking.use the sennsheissers sound awesome no sound leakage. this player is a must buy can't be pleased more with the sound, looks, build,video is a sharp as the new nano but the sony somehow feels a little bigger? same 2" screen but you can turn video around, any ipod future buyers listen to this first as sound reproduction is A1. if sound is the foremost in your mind.it's also nice not using sonicstage ? using my mates music is so much better as all you do is drag & drop. you can also customise the sound also by changing the bass mid & treble as well as just using the presets.build is a nice metal,feels like quality not plastic.the only critisysm is no video converting sofware? hope you found this useful

Philips GoGear Muse
Good format support and a slick design can't make up for a poor screen and laborious user interface
Apple iPod shuffle (September '09, 3rd gen, 4GB)
Its small size is impressive, but makes it trickier to use than rival devices
Apple iPod touch (3rd gen, 64GB)
Lack of a camera is disappointing, but this is a truly excellent media player in almost all other respects
