 Rating:  - 818 .v. NANOAfter using my iPOD shuffle for a while I realised I wanted to carry more music and choose what I wanted to listen to. The obvious choice was a Nano. I tried a mates for a bit. Good sound quality and I liked the menu system. However, at £130 I felt it is a bit pricey for casual use so I had a look at alternatives. I came across the Sony 818 in a sale for £70. I checked out the magazine and on-line reviews and whilst the Nano recieved positive reviews, some had issues with the sound quality and the headphones come in for some stick. The Sony reviews seemed more favourable including the headphones and with a £60 saving against the iPOD I took the plunge. Charging up first time took about 4 hours. Connected to ... Read More: Rating: - Excellent productThis is a really nice player - sound quality is excellent and battery lasts a long time (though I don't get the claimed 33 hours). I've had this player for 6 months and am very happy with it. Previously I didn't like Sony players after I bought one without realising it was tied to Sony's truly awful SonicStage media manager software - thankfully, this now works with WMP11 and Windows Explorer and works with it very well. Pros: sound quality is excellent; simple to use; nice display Niggles: cannot create playlists on the player itself (they have to be synced from WMP); getting video on to the player is too difficult; it doesn't use a standard USB sync/charge cable (though to be fair, most MP3 players, incl iPods, don't ... Read More: Rating:  - Superb !Superb quality product. Had almost two weeks now, as unfortunately had to return Creative Zen because it 'froze' twice, within a few days of ownership. Found Sony ear phones with player too tinny, unless I play around with equalizer settings to increase bass. They are very clear though. So have just purchased some very good & portable sennheiser PX200 headphones. Must say cheaper option delivery service from Amazon on both products very quick ! Very easy to 'Drag & drop' music through Windows Exporer. Same with Photos. Had problem with videos. Could not get video clips/films onto player. However, for others struggling suggest searching Google for "DVD Catalyst 3". It is fantastic & so easy to use. Any negatives: Screen a bit small. Would ... Read More: Rating: - Absolutely superb player and transfer softwware. No mains charger, though.After an awful time with 2 Creative Zen Vs, one of which was incurably corrupt and the other unworkable with Creative's s/ware, I wrote off the £28 I spent on this garbage and went for the Sony. Can 138 5* reviews be wrong? NO! This player is so good. Why? Sound quality: really superb. Ease of music transfer: very easy indeed. Operation: simple, intuitive. Options: The EQ and other options for repro are outstanding. Design: sleek & neat. Manufacture: it's metal, not cheap-feeling plastic [like the Zen] AS a music player, this device ticks all the boxes. There are those who moan about watching videos on it. Why anyone would want to watch a video on a screen the size of a Christmas postage stamp, I can't think. What a waste ... Read More: Rating: - It just blows them all awayIt would be easy to just jump into the anti-Apple corner and send this Sony player up without anything concrete to put it there - but this is not really helpful to people looking for facts. Initially I was going to buy an older model of this about 2 years ago, but when I found out there were some rather nefarious issues with the bundled software and formats supported I switched to an I-pod at the last minute. This was the beginning of a 'hate hate' relationship with one of the most awful devices made by man. I had frequent crashes of the software on the I-pod itself, it would randomly do odd stuff. The control of the unit with 'that' dial was just rubbish - especially if you had anything other than the exact required amount of ... Read More: |
