Ryan, London , “Gadget Freak”
Score 10.0/10+ Fantastic sound quality compared to any other mp3 players, even relativley low quality songs sound very good. Drag and drop music transfer is very simple. The screen is of very high quality and despite its size shows detail really well. It's a fantastic piece of kit for the price, the sound is best from the wired earphones, but the bluetooth headphones are still very good and are great for the gym or when running. Having said that I've used other stereo bluetooth earphones, and these are far superior, having buttons built in to change tracks and volume is a great idea. Once I player around with some of the settings my music sounded even better. A true Ipod beater in all respects.
- None.

Awful Bluetooth connection to 'phones
Poor instructions, especially lack of info on loading films/video The need for commercial software is strangely absent from the ads and the instructions.
No mains charger.

Callum, oldham , “student”
Score 10.0/10+ small and compact for the range of features that it offers, excellent sound quality, and the drag and drop feature makes uploading your music to it far easier than an ipod or any other mp3 player.
- the auto sync feature can become a little bit tedious.

Score 9.0/10+ Can control everything from the wireless headphones, volume, skip etc, even answer my mobile phone which cuts in over the music so never miss a call. (Headphones have built-in mic and quality is great.)

Bob, Isle of Wight
Score 10.0/10+ Excellent sound quality. I know that mp3 is not a genuine hi fi format but the Sony NWZA828KB sounds as close as it gets to it in my opinion. By far the best mp3 player I have heard at least.
- Software supplied. Media Manger for Walkman is sadly lacking so far as editing is concerned. Not impotant though as I use drag and drop mosly.

Paul, Wokingham
Score 9.0/10+ It's easy to find music photo's and it has a good display screen
- the only bad point is the battery and the charging it has an internal battery which you cannot change and you can only charge it via a computer

*Excellent sound quality through the in-ear headphones.
*Crystal clear LCD display.
*Easy to use.
*Bluetooth is a great feature - paired my player with my Sony CMT-HX90BTR Hi-Fi.
-
*Bluetooth headphones are not comfortable to wear, and don't compare well against the supplied in-ear headphones in terms of sound quality.
*Supplied PC software couldn't recognise album covers; had to use Microsoft Media Centre to transfer music to the player.
