Sony Walkman S-544 Series 8 GB Video MP3 Player (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When searching for a new mp3 player the trail always leads me back to Sony. Its more about overall quality then brand loyalty. Over the years Sony's Walkman line has gone the distance and more. The all new Sony S Series Walkman adds to the legacy.
The S-540 8gb Walkman brings it on with a crisp, color enhanced 2.4" LCD screen that is easy on the eyes. At 2" x 4" x .4", it comes in a bit larger then its older cousin. A larger body undoubtedly is required to provide support for the external speaker system. The speakers won't get confused with my home system anytime soon but they do provide an excellent source. With headphones on, this mp3 player delivers a cornucopia of sound. Missing but not that noticeable is the noise reduction feature. The on board equalizer can be tweaked to one's own preferences or users can choose one of the six presets.
The Navigation pad located directly under the screen is a breeze to operate. Three controls are located on the right side of the unit. One locks in the controls. The second one allows for easy switching from speaker to headset. Volume is the third control. The standard headphone jack and a USB port can be found on the bottom of the unit. The detachable flip out stand is an okay feature that allows for easy standing on my desk or shelf top. I would have preferred that it was permanently mounted.
The S-540 supports mp3, mp4, AAC, AVC, WMV, WMA, and PCM. PCM is Sony's version of WAV. It pairs well with Napster. Rhapsody is a no go. Downloading my playlists from Windows Media Player was a breeze without the usual hiccups associated with older mp3 players. I did download a couple of photographs on this model. The display was outstanding. Unlike my older Walkman, this model doesn't offer the wallpaper photo display option.
The built in FM tuner picked up all ten of my stations. With auto scanner functionality, thirty preset slots are available. The FM radio is crystal clear when using the headset as an antenna. The alarm and timer features are a nice addition. This model also has an impressive on board microphone located on the bottom of the unit. There are three voice settings. Voice playback quality was excellent. Battery life has always been biggie with Sony. On a full charge, I got almost a full thirty five hours of music.
This Sony mp3 player comes packaged with a USB cable, flip stand, ear buds, installed operating manual, and the standard one year warranty. Body finishes for the 8GB model include; black, red, pink and violet. The 16GB unit comes in a black or red body.
Economically priced, this latest edition to the Walkman line is a durable and reliable product that simply delivers. Easy to use and loaded with features, the Sony S-540 is a prime time performer.

Sony Speaker Dock for Walkman (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After a few years of building speaker systems for just about every one else in the MP3 player market, the folks at Sony finally get down to business and deliver on a good, compatible product for their loyal Walkman buyers. The arrival of the Sony Walkman Speaker Dock is long overdue.

Packed with twin 10 watt speakers and a bass boost feature, this system easily filled a 20 x 24 room with a rich, crisp sound that covered the bases wall to wall. Music from both my play lists and FM radio was crystal clear. Once I switched on the integrated bass boost feature a much deeper, but not over powering bass poured out. The bass feature is okay but nothing to get excited about. By no means will this speaker dock be confused with a big ticket wall of sound. By design, its mission is to enhance and not overpower a room.
This stealthy black bodied unit also serves as a charger as well as a speaker system. One of the sweeter surprises is the remote control. Besides powering up and volume buttons, the remote easily opens play lists on my MP3 player. I can go back or fast forward to another song with ease. Bass boost control and muting are also featured. The remote is powered by two AAA batteries which are not included. Connecting another player via the auxiliary mini-port (located on the back of the speaker dock) is also an option. Connection cable is not included.
Weighing in at a little over 4 pounds and measuring 12.6" x 6.2" x 8", the Walkman Speaker Dock fits almost anywhere in the house. Out of the box this system is packed with an AC power adapter, instructions, remote control, and two Walkman base adapters. The adapter is an oval shaped attachment that allows for pairing of all Walkman models that are supplied with a round shaped attachment. Buyers should take note, NOT ALL WALKMAN PLAYERS ARE COMPATIBLE with this speaker system. We have three S series Walkmans. They pair up beautifully with this unit. However, my neighbor's E series Walkman doesn't play or charge on this system. The standard one year warranty is also tacked onto this product.
Sleek, compact and with an overall great sound quality, the Sony Walkman Speaker Dock exceeds my expectations. For most Walkman owners, this model is definitely a step in the right direction. I highly recommend this product.

Sony Clock Radio with Dock for Sony Digital Music Players and Sony Ericsson Phones (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Nice and easy to use clock and works well with the Sony MP3 player. The only con I found about it was the screen is a little bright even on the low setting, they (Sony) should have an auto off setting so at night it doesn't glare in your face. Other then that it works flawless, and keeps perfect time. Great large numbers too.

Start your morning off to music with the ICF-C8WM clock radio. Designed exclusively for Sony Ericsson phones and Walkman MP3 players, this clock radio is the perfect companion to your nightstand or dresser. A dual alarm lets you set two separate wake-up times with the option of waking up to the music stored on your mobile phone, Walkman player or radio station. Additional features include an AM/FM tuner with 30 presets, a large easy-to-read LCD, Automatic Time Set and supplied remote control.

Wake to Radio or Your Compatible Phone/Walkman DeviceThe ICF-C8WM will charge your Walkman or Sony Ericsson phone while you sleep, and wake you up with your own choice of music from either device. Or, if you prefer, you can have your favourite radio station instead thanks to the built-in FM/AM tuner. And of course, the old classic--a buzzer.

AM/FM RadioListen (or wake) to your favorite radio programming with the AM/FM radio, featuring digital tuning and 30 station presets--20 FM, 10 AM.

Great for Any RoomAs an alarm clock the ICF-C8WM is great for your night stand, but it boasts a black, modern design that would suit most any room--bedroom, kitchen, living room, etc.

Brightness ControlTo make sure the display is just right, there are three brightness levels--set to your preference.

Sony NW-ZE435FS 2gb MP3 Player FM Radio Walkman with 2" Video Screen (Silver) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my first MP3 player. Never thought I wanted one........but, I love it. The sound quality is great, it's very easy to use and the controls are intuitive. The little screen is amazingly clear and easy to read. I've had it only a few days, but I've transferred about 150 songs to it from my CDs using itunes and "drag and dropping" the songs to the player....very easy.
The included headphones sound good...but, the hard plastic is uncomfortable to my ears. I ordered some Seenheiser CX 300-B ear plug type headphones from Amazon, and they are very comfortable and sound great. they are currently on sale for $19.95.
Haven't tried to use the video function yet, but I have put a few photos on it. This too was very easy.
While I can't really compare it to other players, I'm giving it 5 stars because it's an excellent product at a reasonable price.
Get one........you'll be glad you did.
