Verdict

A well-priced, high-performing and stylish audio player. Its simple operation and management will appeal to most people but a couple of key features are missing. Overall, this is an excellent contender from Sony

Good

  • Sound quality
  • Battery life
  • Design
  • No SonicStage required
  • High-quality video support
  • Easy to use
  • Price

Bad

  • No FM radio
  • No gapless playback
