Édition 40ème anniversaire du Walkman
Modelo 40th Anniversary de 16 GB 05/09/2024 by Mr Kalenski (France)
Que dire d’autre qu’entre sa taille et ses prouesses audiophiles, je ne pouvais qu’être conquis ! Sans parler du fait qu’en édition limitée, c’était vraiment le must-have des lecteurs hi-fi ! Un régal de la technologie !

Great for music of all kinds
16GB 19/08/2024 by Franc1sT (United Kingdom)
I've had this 2 years now and I love the music quality. It's easy to use, has a great interface and is really well made. There 2 issues... 1 The battery life is about 8 hours at best. I keep the WiFi switched off to prevent drain. 2 The memory for apps is quite small and when I first had the device it warned me that there was not enough memory left for upgrades. So I deleted a few. I still like the device but I feel a bit let down by the limitations.

My 1st Walkman..
16GB 04/08/2024 by Waving not Drowning (United Kingdom)
Hi as a dinosaur that has until recently previously "burned" my own cd comps for the car and my Ghetto blaster, thought it was time I delved into the world of Bluetooth and DAPs.. Did some review read ups, watched some reviews on YouTube on all sorts and all prices, so after a process of elimination decided to go for a Sony NW-A100 Walkman (I have recently bought a JBL Boombox 3 - which is "Bluetooth" only..) So this review in mainly concerned with using the Sony via Bluetooth.. I have 2 HP (Windows) Laptops, one older than the other, the older but better laptop - the Sony didn't recognize it but did with the newer one,(Something to do with the "Ports" on the laptop), that is the only moan I have.. wasted an afternoon trying to come to that conclusion.. Once that was solved was easy to transfer music via my laptop to the Sony, you will need to get a extra storage card (Currys sell them easy to fit and go from around £15 up..) The Walkman feels "quality", there is a Sound enhancements (different settings for 10 I think of the top of my head) and a custom option for adjusting the graphic to your own tastes. It is MP3s and WMAs I have been playing so far, it will play Flac but not really investigated them yet. Conclusion: I haven't investigated every facet of this Walkman, Flacs are a future project, it didn't like one of my laptops but liked the newer one and worked straightway in nextdoors (Gamer) computer.. You can connect to your Wi Fi and listen to eg: Youtube, or use without wi fi and use Bluetooth only.. So would I recommend this Sony Walkman?.. - I would, take a bit of time to listen to your fav song with the various sound options, (there are a few more sound options than mention here) I am impressed with this wee device, if it died or got lost or stolen - I would get another.

WALMANN SONY
16GB 22/12/2023 (Italy)
Finchè ha funzionato tutt ok per qualità di riproduzione che avviene sempre con cuffie SONY. Ho sempre messo SONY tra i TOP player per la qualità audio e roproduzione, ma purtroppo con questo apparecchio devo smentire. Da alcune settimane, a distanza di circa un anno dall'acquisto non si carica il prodotto si è guastatao e non si carica più. Non è possibile fare nulla. Tta pochi giorni lo dovrò rendere al venditore esercitando la garanzia: spero sia possibile una sostituzione con apparecchio più affidabile o di livello superiore. Gradito sarebbe un intervento diretto di SONY sulla garanzia. Il venditore è LDLC. Vedremo.

Hi,
Thank you for your review.
We're glad to hear that you're enjoying your Sony NW-A105 Walkman, and hope you continue to enjoy it for years to come.
Unfortunately, it's not recommended by Sony to use any USB Type-C headsets with this unit, as you may not be able to adjust the volume depending on the headset itself. This may result in unexpectedly loud volumes from the headphones. To avoid the risk, do not use headphones with a USB Type-C connector. You can learn more about this here: https://cutt.ly/bwE12HHy

16GB 17/01/2023 by Gutes Ohr (Germany)
Der Player sollte meinen 9Jahre alten NWZ-A15 ersetzen (Akkutausch nicht möglich). Vorteile des „alten“ und nicht mehr verfügbaren NWZ-A15: 1. Grundfunktionen wie nächster Titel, Lautstärke ändern, schneller Vor- bzw. Rücklauf, Pause, Ausschalten konnten durch haptische Tasten in der Jackentasche (ohne Blickkontakt) ausgeführt werden. 2. Der Player war deutlich kleiner. 3. Akkulaufzeit war wesentlich länger (50Std. !!). 4. Alter Player reagiert auf Tastenbefehle deutlich schneller. Es muss halt beim ersten Einschalten kein Android hochgefahren werden. Nachteile des NWZ-A15: USB-Übertragung der Daten langsamer. Nur Sony USB-Spezialstecker verwendbar. Vorteile des NW-A105: 1. Höhere Datenübertragung durch USB-C. 2. Standard-USB-Kabel. 3. WLAN fähig. Der Sony NW-A105 ist ein Android 9 Smartphone das High-Res wiedergeben, aber nicht telefonieren kann. (Wobei mit der Fritz-Phone-App im WLAN-Netz müsste selbst telefonieren funktionieren) Ich wollte aber einen Walkman. (Smartphone hab ich schon)

So Utterly Disappointed
16GB 06/01/2023 by wildweasel (United Kingdom)
Having bought this to replace my 10 year old AW-A35. I was so looking forward to all the new features as its is now android run and Wifi as well. I have charged it up and started the installation procedure for Android, a bit like you do with a new phone. Now you have to remember this is a 16gb model. The installation was complete and it wanted me to do the latest update which I did. Now you have to realise I have not put any music on it at this stage. I will do later but only on a SD card. Imagine my surprise when after the update restart it tells me there is less than 2GB of memory left and this wont be enough for future updates. What!! Not even put music on it or used it for the first time and it says not enough memory. What apiece of absolute rubbish. They should have concentrated on the music and stuck with old system as everybody knows how heavy android is on memory. Sony you have got this so wrong you should have realised about android updates and made this 32GB and not 16GB. This is the most expensive piece of rubbish I have ever bought. To be able to use it I have had to disable nearly every app on it and turn off Wifi. Which then makes you ask what is the point of this player. So utterly utterly disappointed. Sort it out Sony

Une honte
16GB 22/12/2022 by Karl75 (France)
Au bout de 6 mois, l'appareil m'a lâché. Ce n'est pas seulement la déception d'avoir mis 250 euros dans un appareil deffectueux qui, lorsqu'il marchait, suscitait de la frustration (type : le volume sonore qui se bloque à 50 et qui oblige de redemarrer le lecteur ou la faible capacité mémoire de l'appareil obligeant de mettre des cartes SD qui ralentisse la mise en marche), mais c'est aussi une perte totale de confiance vis à vis d'une marque qui pour moi symbolisait la qualité. Je vais devoir sûrement m'assoir sur 250 euros, c'est vrai que par les temps qui courrent, c'est un luxe qu'on peut s'offrir. C'est assez triste à quel point Sony perd en qualité au fil des années.

Prachtig geluid, slim apparaat, kleine batterij
16GB 30/11/2022 by Pieter 01 (Netherlands)
Ik heb deze speler voor mijn verjaardag gehad als vervanging van mijn 12 jaar oude MP 3 speler. De bouwkwaliteit, instelmogelijkheden en geluid zijn fantastisch! Ik kreeg de Sony wh1000xm3 erbij van mijn kinderen en deze combi is gewoon geweldig! Allebei met LDAC en volledig op elkaar afgestemd, dit resulteert in HI RES audio zoals dit bedoeld is. Er zijn zoveel geluidsinstellingen dat ik wel enige tijd nodig heb gehad om alles uit te zoeken. Er zijn zelfs aparte instelmogelijkheden voor DSD files zoals filtering en gain (-/+ 3 DB)! Ik gebruik hem niet voor streamen maar louter voor opslag van muziek, vooral HI RES. Internet/wifi gebruik ik ook niet. Ik kan ontzettend genieten van het geluid van deze speler en dan ingesteld op "direct" omdat goede audio geen aanpassing nodig heeft. Ik gebruik hem ook op de sportschool maar dan met een goedkopere koptelefoon (Sony WC100), geen HI RES maar tijdens het sporten voldoet dit prima. Wel is het zo dat je na aanschaf van deze speler niet alleen een koptelefoon moet kopen maar ook een micro SD kaart omdat de interne opslag voor een groot deel wordt opgeslokt door het systeem, daarom zet ik muziek alleen op de SD kaart. Ik heb ook een beschermhoesje gekocht , deze is in NL moeilijk te krijgen maar ik heb nu een Miter via Amazon, deze voldoet uitstekend. Een minpuntje is de batterij capaciteit. Zeker met het scherm aan, gaat deze vrij snel leeg. Daarom heb ik voor mijn vakantie naar Mexico besloten een powerbank met USB C aan te schaffen en dit is een kleine investering die een prima oplossing blijkt te zijn. Ik ben dus helemaal tevreden en enthousiast over deze speler maar ik denk wel dat dit apparaat alleen voor mensen interessant is die een beetje audiofiel zijn en bereid zijn om voor een goed geluid een stevig bedrag op tafel te leggen. Mensen die een gewoon een simpel, goedkoop spelertje willen zullen dit echt niet kopen. Maar zoals gezegd ben ik helemaal weg van deze slimme speler!

Nicht so gut wie beworben
16GB 18/11/2022 by Dirk Milbradt (Germany)
Ich hatte jetzt ein Jahr Zeit den Player ausführlich zu testen. Zunächst das Positive: Der Klang und die sehr gute Unterstützung der Sony-Kopfhörer. Als mittelmäßig empfinde ich die Akku-Laufzeit, was aber zu verschmerzen ist, da das Gerät für seinen eigentlichen Zweck einen WLan-Zugang benötigt. Sehr schlecht allerdings ist die Performance. Das Teil ist schon mit Amazon-Music als einzige App überfordert. Das WLan-Modul ist schlecht. Somit gibt es häufig Abstürze. Android 9 und wenig Speicher...Naja, eben seeeehr langsam. Das Allerschlimmste ist aber die Lautstärkebegrenzung. EU-Richtlinie hin oder her, das geht so nicht. Dann muss man sich eben aus dem EU Markt verabschieden. Betriebssystem-Updates gibts offenbar auch nicht. Mit der mangelhaften Systemleistung und der ebenfalls mangelnden Lautstärke ist der Player total überteuert und keine Empfehlung.

Bien mais pourrait mieux faire !
16GB 09/11/2022 by CYHTM22 (France)
Rapport qualité prix un peu juste. Produit neuf et pourtant la batterie se décharge vite. Trop peu de mémoire embarquée, mode d'emploi pas toujours explicite (notamment la capacité maxi de la carte mémoire difficile à trouver *) et surtout grande déception lors de la première écoute. En effet, la puissance est faible et, par conséquent, pas très dynamique. Il faut vraiment pousser le volume vers le maxi pour avoir une écoute "punchy". Et, après recherches, il est nécessaire de télécharger un logiciel pour pallier à ce gros handicap. Bridé ou non par la CCE, à quoi sert un estampillé Hi Res, utiliser un bon casque, si c'est pour écouter en sourdine ? Décevant, il en est fallu de peu de me faire rembourser si je n'avais pas trouvé le logiciel miracle afin de pouvoir booster la puissance sonore. *Appel à Sony France, numéro surtaxé pour attendre 20mn en ligne (facturé 12,84€), ne pas obtenir de réponse et se voir raccroché au nez !

NW-A105 sounds great but has some limitations
16GB 27/10/2022 by The Rocker (United Kingdom)
Firstly, the positives-sounds great and small size makes it easy to put in your pocket. Secondly, the negatives the memory is way too small to be able to download much music (but I remedied this by buying a SanDisk Ultra class 10 A1 micro SDXC memory card) and the battery does not last long enough when listening to HiRes (but I remedied by buying a small power bank) . Also as I have used IOS previously Android took a bit of getting used to.

Baladeur avec des bugs
16GB 22/10/2022 by JP86000 (France)
J'ai reçu ce baladeur depuis le 27 septembre 2022. J'ai pu constater certaines choses. Hormis que l'écran tactile soit petit et qui fait que pour écrire c'est plus compliqué que sur un smartphone, il est aussi truffé de bugs : - Quelques applications aléatoires qui cessent de fonctionner au démarrage - Le WIFI et le Bluetooth qui s'allument automatiquement au démarrage, ne prenant pas en compte le paramétrage avant d'éteindre le baladeur. - Le baladeur ne se connecte pas automatiquement aux écouteurs bluetooth lors de l'activation du bluetooth, même s'ils ont déjà été appairés auparavant et enregistrés comme d'autres produits sur l'appareil. - Le bouton poussoir "HOLD" qui sert normalement à verrouiller afin d'empêcher toute manipulation accidentelle mais qui ne verrouille rien puisque qu'il est tout de même possible d'explorer le menu avec le HOLD affiché en haut de l'écran Il faut aussi noter que le formatage d'une micro SD est devenu + compliqué que sur le NW-A35, puisqu'il n'est plus affiché dans la partie "Stockage" se trouvant dans les paramètres. Côté design, il est pratiquement similaire au NW-A35. Seul le système d'exploration a vraiment changé puisqu'il est passé sous Android 9, qui est une version pas toute récente et limite sur le Playstore. Il est fort possible, que si aucune MAJ pour passer à une version + récente ne sera pas déployée dans quelques mois, que l'utilisateur se retrouve coincée avec des applications qui ne seront plus à jour dans leurs versions. Pour ceux qui est de la musique, j'utilise le bluetooth. Hormis les problèmes déjà cités, la qualité du son est très bonne. Le gros point noir est la durée de la batterie : 5-6 heures d'utilisation pour la mettre à plat. Si vous voulez un baladeur qui tient la route, évitez de prendre le NW-A105 ; Le NW-A35 tient bien plus longtemps.

Une taille parfaite mais une autonomie réduite
16GB 22/10/2022 by M47hieu (France)
Walkman de grande qualité au niveau des finitions, au niveau de ce qu'on a l'habitude de voir chez Sony. Il respecte mon cahier des charges initial : lecteur de musique avec bluetooth+NFC+usb-C+jack3.5 La taille est parfaite, on en regrette que ça ne soit pas un mini téléphone complet ! L'autonomie est assez limité de base : Android + Google apps, mais en désactivant toutes les app inutiles on obtient quelque chose de plus raisonnable. Positif: Taille parfaite Écran de grande qualité Restitution sonore de bonne qualité (heureusement vu le placement tarifaire, et les multiples arguments marketing associés) Port microSD USB C Bluetooth NFC qui permet d'appairer instantanément avec un casque compatible (wh-710n par exemple) Wifi Jack 3.5 Autonomie correcte après modification des applications installées par défaut Interface utilisateur fluide Surcouche Android assez discrète (presque trop, l'application walkman n'est pas vraiment mise en avant et manque d'un widget directement accessible) Négatif : Batterie de très petite taille non amovible, sans option de prolongation de durée de vie comme c'est le cas sur mon Xperia 10iii Android ancien (9!) Sans mise à jour proposée (faille de sécurité pour un appareil pouvant accéder à internet) Android pas optimisé pour ce type d'usage et nécessitant du bricolage par l'utilisateur final Application de réduction de bruit qui ne semble pas fonctionner (a priori dédiée à un accessoire non disponible sur le marché français ?) Conclusion : appareil clairement positionné en "will I" de part son prix et ses fonctionnalités audio. S'adresse à un public très particulier qui recherche spécifiquement un walkman au prix d'un smartphone d'entree de gamme (~250€) alors qu'un smartphone de milieu de gamme pourrait tout à fait le remplacer la plupart du temps. Permet indirectement de gagner en autonomie sur le smartphone principal, ou d'écouter de la musique sans téléphone.

The sounds is fantastic, when I listen to jazz standards is just like having a band in front me, The sound is clear and crispy, the equalizer presets levels helps switching music gender. Also the hi-res streaming is impeccable. It looses one start for the battery life and the fact that the android is not upgradable to the latest version (it will save some battery)

Hallo The Minor,
Bedankt voor je beoordeling.
Wij zijn blij om te horen dat je tevreden bent met je NW-A105.
Er zijn bepaalde factoren die de levensduur kunnen verkorten zoals een Bluetooth-verbinding, dat kan de levensfuur van de batterij verkorten met maximaal 60%, afhankelijk van bepaalde omstandigheden.
Zelfs als de speler voor een langere periode uitgeschakeld wordt, wordt er nog steeds een beetje batterijvermogen gebruikt.
De levensduur van de batterij kan afwijken afhankelijk van de instelling van het volume, de gebruiksomstandigheden en de omgevingstemperatuur.
De batterij wordt aanzienlijk verbruikt wanneer het scherm ingeschakeld is.
De levensduur van de batterij wordt mogelijk ongeveer 80% korter als bepaalde instellingen voor geluidsaanpassing actief zijn.
Wanneer DSEE Ultimate™ is ingeschakeld, kan de levensduur van de batterij ongeveer 30% korter zijn dan in het geval van DSEE HX (versie 3.00 of later).
De levensduur van de batterij kan ongeveer 20% korter worden wanneer de [High-Res streaming]-functie actief is.
Je kan het batterijverbruik beperken door de speler op de volgende manier te gebruiken.
De levensduur van de batterij is afhankelijk van de gebruiksomstandigheden. Zie voor meer informatie over de levensduur van de batterij [Levensduur van de batterij].

Bought this for listening to music & audiobooks while laying in the sun. Noticed that you can also watch YouTube and MP4 files abiet the screen is super small. Easy to set up and transfer files. The main reason I bought three NW A105 was due to the SD card. It was hard to find one that you can expand the storage. The only downside of this plaster is the battery life. Realistically is 4-5hrs worth if using bluetooth headphones.

Great Sound but has user issues.
16GB 09/08/2022 by dezpen66 (United Kingdom)
So I decided after my Sony mini disc MZ-RH1 gave up the ghost many moons ago to forgo using my mobile for listening and go back to a dedicated player. First impressions, underwhelming: the player is tiny but weighty with a handsome chunky design. My advice if you are going to download MP3 or AAC compressed music files then I would stick to listening to music on your mobile. This player with it's Micro SD card slot is really about listening to your music in the highest possible fidelity. I download CDs using the Sony Music Center for PC then transfer to player in PCM, i.e. in the same bitrate as CD you are transferring from. If you are after music artwork you might be disappointed because none of the CDs I transferred had any accompanying art work. I transferred a CD in compressed format by mistake and lo and behold the art work was transferred too! Of course this not true High Resolution as touted by the industry but then you are looking at an expensive route of acquiring High Resolution tracks or albums from various on line retailers. I purchased for £1.39 Paranoid Android in Hi- Res. I wasn't blown away by the difference. Granted I was using non Hi -Res. cans but the quality was subtle not dramatic. Lastly this player's battery life is atrocious and it takes an age to fully recharge. I have disabled almost all the apps this android 9 system comes with. Stick to music or music streaming sites and the battery will last longer but not considerably so.

Bought this recently to replace an NW-A45 which I unfortunately lost. The sound quality seems a real step up - I am noticing extra details in music I have been listening to for years. It's useful to be able to install android apps. For example the Sony Music Centre and Headphones. I have also enjoyed playing my music on a streaming amp, uncompressed over wifi, while control the amp from an app on the walkman.

Excellent Media Player
16GB 14/06/2022 by JohntheMakem (United Kingdom)
Bought this a few weeks ago, I really like it, it plays beautifully. I pair it with my Sony WH-1000XM4 for headphones for a really peaceful, relaxing music session. Two things to point out - 1) you will need a Miscro SD card for your music files as the Android system takes up most of the internal storage space and 2) the battery life won't be great for some people. My real world test gave me 8 hours on a full charge using Bluetooth and 15 hours with my headphones via the jack socket (with bluetooth and wi-fi turned off). Since I use mine a couple of hours a day I don't see the battery as a problem as that kind of useage gives me several days without a recharge. Anyway, this is the best sounding media player I have ever used and I would recommend it.

Sound Quality is awesome, but that's it !
16GB 31/05/2022 by choukyla (United Kingdom)
The sound quality is definitely hi-res. But that's all that is going for it. The music app lack feature that other 3rd party have. Sorting is very limited. You cannot create playlist on the fly. Equalizer have limited preset available. Also if you use 3rd party music app and connect to a Bluetooth, if you then connect to another Bluetooth device the volume get stuck and you cannot adjust it. Sony offer a Music App for you to create playlist to transfer to the Walkman but it doesn't transfer playlist...waste of space. I haven't given it 1 star because I like the hi-res music and I was able to create a playlist manually. The walkman accept m3u playlist. But it can't read special characters in the folder. So I had to edit huge amount of files to remove all the special characters. I bought NW-A105, if I bought the higher spec ones and found all these faults. I would have instantly returned it and ask for money back.

Ideal for driving wireless headphones
16GB 27/05/2022 by FBP948 (United Kingdom)
Overall pleased with the Walkman, considering the features and price. My only complaint is the short battery life. 2 hours of wireless playback uses 50% of the battery. Before buying I read other reviews that mentioned the same short charge life. I'm not an Android user, so was surprised by how it reboots the applications when its gone to sleep. Buttons and touch screen all work beautifully and it does exactly what I want from it - LDAC driver for my high end wireless headphones. Therefore the quality of it's internal headphone amplifier is unimportant. Note: it can't drive higher (>100ohm) impedance headphones with much volume. That will be done to the tiny battery.

Fortunately I had the old one--MediaGo, so I was able to load music. Once I got used to its (non-Apple) idiosyncrasies I found it far superior to its more expensive rival. Get a large capacity microSD and you're good. Nice to make the ipod touch redundant.

Good, but not perfect.
16GB 08/05/2022 by SteveD2 (United Kingdom)
As the owner of several Walkmans in the past, I have got other models to compare against: Good points: Great sound quality, as always. Good design. Being an Android device now means it is more adaptable for other uses. Uses a standard USB C charger cable now. Bad points: The battery life is not great and with Bluetooth and WiFi on, it is very poor. It is not Bluetooth 5, which may well have improved the battery life. If you are using Bluetooth headphones/earbuds without their own volume control, you cannot change the playback volume. So to do this you need to download a separate music playing app that will allow this (I use Musicolet). In summary good Walkman, but could be better.

Good MP3 player, UI needs a little work
16GB 24/04/2022 by ZXKNIGHT (United Kingdom)
I bought this to play my music collection without the need to pay for a subscription service online after Google Play shifted to YouTube Music and became much less user friendly as a way of driving people to pay for the 'premium' service. In that regard, this device does what it needs to. I'm not a serious audiophile so couldn't comment on the intricacies of the audio quality relative to other devices but I am happy with the sound quality and device overall. Where it falls down a bit is the UI of the music player app is a bit clunky and un-intuitive. It does not seem to have a 'cast' option but you can of course pair bluetooth devices with it external to the app. As many people have noted, the playlist function is weak but instead you have 'bookmarks', which essentially serves the same purpose but is less intuitive and presumably doesn't transfer between computer and devices like a playlist might be expected to. A strange quirk is that some songs appear in the library twice despite the actual file only being on the drive once. I cannot work out if this is due to the app (it doesn't happen on any other system or app eg VLC) or the meta information on some of the music. I don't share the same battery concerns some users have had, though as the device runs on an Android OS it's easy to see why it wouldn't last as long as a device that simply ran purely as an MP3 player. Because this Walkman has Android, you can download a host of streaming apps and whatever else. Bear in mind though it doesn't have built-in speakers like a phone so any sound has to come through headphones or speakers. Overall I'm happy with the device and suspect it'll serve me well for a good many years to come. Hopefully the UI on the music player can be updated and it'll smooth out the current minor irritants. Speeding up the boot time would also make it feel more responsive as a device as it does feel like it takes longer to turn on than a similar Android device such as my phone.

Nicht sehr überzeugend
16GB 07/04/2022 by Sven Fahrentholz (Germany)
Leider liegt das Gerät hinter den Erwartungen zurück. 1.) Der Akku ist grottenschlecht, der hält noch nicht mal die Hälfte der angegebenen Stunden. Bei Übertragungen per Kabel auf eine Box, schafft das Gerät nur max.5 Stunden. Genauso verhält es sich mit Kopfhörer per Kabel. Wenn dann noch der Bluetoothmodus aktiviert wurde, verkürzt sich diese Zeit noch mehr. 2.) Die Software für den PC läßt keine individuellen Einstellungen zu. Wenn man auf dem PC seine Musiksammlung chronologisch geordnet hat (entweder nach Ordner, nach Albuminterpret, nach Interpret, oder Titel) dann kann man diese Einstellungen im Musikcenter nicht synchron anlegen. 3.) Die Musiksammlung auf dem Walkman spielt zwar in der Endlosschleife, auch im Zufallsmodus, aber bei 1500 Titeln kamen innerhalb von 3 Stunden mehrere Titel doppelt und zwischendurch bricht auch noch unvermittelt die (Kabelgebundene!) Verbindung ab. Es kommt dann kein Ton mehr aus der angeschlossenen Box. Man muss dann jedesmal manuell einen Titel vorspringen, dann geht es wieder weiter. Hier sollte seitens SONY unbedingt bei allen 3 genannten Mängeln nachgebessert werden. Ich besitze mehr als 6 Produkte aus dem Hause SONY, aber ein Produkt, dass einem so wenig Freude bereitet, habe ich noch nicht erlebt, zumindest nicht aus dem Traditionsunternehmen SONY. Schade!

Hi Sven,
danke für dein Feedback. Wir werden es für die zukünftige Produktentwicklung weitergeben, vor allem hinsichtlich der Synchronisation der Einstellungen in der Music Center App. Die verfügbare Betriebsdauer des Akkus ist unter folgendem Link angegeben: https://bit.ly/3xeTZa5 (Kopiere den Link und füge ihn in ein neues Browserfenster ein). Im Zusammenhang mit dem Problem der doppelten Titel wird empfohlen, den Walkman zurückzusetzen. Anweisungen dazu gibt es hier: https://bit.ly/3xj9gGU.

One problem

This is a very usable little DAP. Sounds great, is small, good Android operating system, streams well....but. There is one problem, one BIG problem. Battery life is atrocious. Cannot believe that Sony did not fit a bigger battery it goes down as you watch. For streaming at good quality rates just about 3-4 hours if that. Even for locally stored MP3 files it's not that much better, even though the sound is great. Sony don't keep this on the market, put a bigger battery in. Totally stupid. Someone at Sony is mad. This could have been the best DAP on the market with a bigger battery. Can't believe Sony are so stupid.

Android pessimo.
16GB 29/03/2022 (Italy)
Giocattolino davvero carino da tenere in mano, musicalmente impeccabile, piccino ma splendido. L'unica cosa che lo penalizza ahimè è Android. Non sembra essere ottimizzato, oltre ad essere, per mio modesto parere, inutile su di un dispositivo del genere. Widget in piena home impossible da rimuovere (con tanto di Google Lens integrato ma che non può funzionare senza fotocamera quindi inutile), problemi con il mettere una semplice immagine come sfondo, insomma poteva anche non esserci e il dispositivo non ne avrebbe di certo sentito la mancanza, ANZI. Fedele al marchio e attirato dal design e dalla memoria espandibile l'ho acquistato ma non senza dubbi. Compreso quello della restituzione.
