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

The new Sony A-Series features three players: the 2GB NWZ-A815, the 4GB NWZ-A816 and the 8GB NWZ-A818. They include the same features with differening memory capacities, so click over to find our full review of the A81x series.
