Customer Reviews

A good Buy!
After using my Samsung 1GB MP3 player (very basic pen drive style) for a couple of years, I decided that I was going to give myself a Christmas treat and get myself a new MP3 player with a bit more memory. I'm not a technophobe but I have never been interested in all the "hi tech" features that newer players have. I looked around and found the Sony NWZ-E436FB 4GB Drag & Drop MP4 Video Player with FM tuner in Black. It was a reasonable price as my Husband had bought a 2GB MP3 player for the same price 3 months back. After receiving it in the post at 9am, by 10am I had put all my songs on there. I didn't even have to look at the manual as it is so straight forward and easy to use. The display and menu system is very much like a mobile phone and very well set out. I had never used BBC iPlayer before, and after discovering that I could download and add them to the player I did so and it was very simple and ended up watching BBC's Hole in the wall in bed that evening! The one con I found with the MP3 Player is that it uses half a GB for the operating system it has which does limit the amount of music, videos and pictures that you can place on there. Apart from that issue, the MP3 player is a winner and I would highly recommend it to all that enquire!

Very Good for the Price
My sansa e250 kept corrupting files and as technology has moved on abit I thought I would get a new player that was roughly the same price. I was going to buy the Samsung YP-T10JCB/XEU - Touchscreen MP3 Player With Video And Bluetooth - 8Gb however I don't usually have enough songs to fill up 4GB let alone 8Gb and the sony will play BBC iPlayer programmes, so its been great on the train being able to watch back Have I Got News For You etc without needing to get the laptop out. The Good points about this mp3 player are the sound (as good as any other mp3, especially with my Sennheiser CX300 Eco Ear Canal Headphones Black). It is extremely easy to use and straight forward so no need for a manual, the quality of the screen is very good and the player is so light and thin (about 50g) its very useful to take places. The case finish is nice with a black shiny front but a matt plastic back (a good thing as there is no shiny metal to get scratched or corroded) but it is not exactly stunning in the looks department. It has 45 hours of playback and after playing Merlin on it for 45 minutes the battery meter was hardly dented and the fm radio is better than that of my old sansa. I would recommend this player for the price, ease of use (as the menus are clear and you can use drag & drop on wmp 11 to transfer songs) and functions, but if your going for style then go for the rival ipod nano

Sony Walkman
This is my first mp3/4 player and after reading various reviews and remembering the great build quality on my old cassette walkman I decided on the Sony.

I bought this product for the music and don't expect to upload videos or photos so can't make any comment about these functions.

I went for this model because it included a radio for basically the same price as the alternatives without.

Ease of use - not only simple but so intuitive I hardly needed to refer to the pdf manual.
Sound Quality - I can't compare against the i-pod, as I've never owned one, but the sound quality on the Sony is truly amazing. I am hearing parts of the music I don't even hear on my living room stereo.
Headphones - They are superb and at this point I'm not considering changing the bundled phones.
Looks and build quality - first class. It's small light and looks far more expensive.
Faults - It looks so good it needs a case to protect it from daily knocks but I haven't found one suitable.

Would I buy this product again? A big yes but would definitely upgrade to the 8 or even 16gig. A truly great little product.
