Sony Network Walkman NW-E005 (2 GB) MP3 Player

Pros: compact, great sound, great battery life, hooks up to usb to charge.

Cons: small display and you cant scroll through music titles when you are playing a song

The Bottom Line: If you want a durable MP3 player that is easy to use this is the one for you

Review: This is my first MP3 player and I think it is great. Especially if you are going to the gym or even in the car on long trips. The battery life is so long. Plus it is very durable. I have dropped this thing so many times but it is a sony you cant go ...

Pros: Onboard USB saves trouble of batteries and cable. Good sound quality, looks good

Cons: Its a Walkman -it requires Sonic Stage.

The Bottom Line: Altough the Walkmans ATRAC system is a general annoyance this is a decent lightweight player with the advantage of onboard USB.

Review: I used to be the proud owner of a 512MB Creative Zen Nano MP3 player but when that fell apart from overuse I went searching for a new MP3 player to accompany me pretty much everywhere I go. I saw the Walkman NW-E005 on a general shopping trip. I ...

Pros: High-quality and workmanship

Cons: Proprietary software

Review: I bought this mp3 player on a whim and frankly wish that I hadn't. I was used to mp3 players that actually play mp3's - this one makes you use the Sony software in order to transfer music to your mp3 player. Maybe Sony will get it down next time and use ...

Pros: Good sound quality (with Rev.2 firmware) Long battery life

Cons: Can only be charged from your computer

Review: We actually have a 1G Walkman, NW-E003, but what I have to say should apply to all this series. We discovered that they will not accept charge from a USB charger. They plug in and charging appears to take place, but after an hour the players battery ...

Pros: displays a tiny icon of the album - cool, but not really useful.

Cons: new features are a step backwards

Review: I was an owner of an NWE507 and was very happy with it. I recently lost it and replaced it with a new NWS705F. First off the new version of SonicStage no longer allows you to create your own groups. Users now are only allowed to put music on the ...

Pros: Good sound quality

Cons: Usability, Transferring, Software, Controls, FM-Tuner.

Review: Wow...what a horrible experience... from transferring files to the device, to navigating through the device, to the controls themselves. My opinion of Sony has gone way down that they'd allow the name Walkman to be put on a device like this. Even ...

Pros: Excellent sound quality

Cons: Software means machine useless.

Review: I have the 1Gb Sony machine and it's excellent although the Sonicstage software is a real "belt and braces" affair. Still it works – just about. However, with the 2Gb machine, the software will not allow me to place the tracks from different CDs ...
