 superb sound and build quality October 3, 2008
I have owned several ipods and recently switched to this walkman which was given to as a present as my ipod had been stolen. I will NEVER buy an ipod again.
The build quality is far superior to the ipod, my things get treated roughly and this has coped with being repeatedly dropped, yesterday in a hot bath of water, and has survived perfectly in tact, unlike two of my previous ipods, which scratched easily, one breaking in a simple fall.
I have Sennheiser earphones, which are far better than those supplied with any mp3. I have used the same earphones with this and the ipod... the sound quality is significantly better with the Sony.
I also appreciate not being tied down to itunes to load music, although the lack of any supporting software (you have to use whats already on your computer) has made it harder to learn to use, it is very compatible with Windows. Also I have struggled to load video on this mp3, but have to say I haven't tried very hard as it is not important to me.
If you are after a hard wearing piece of kit with great sound quality choose Sony first time, don't get drawn in by the ipod advertising and waste your money like I did several times.
If your thinking of buying an iPod, don't. Buy this instead. September 29, 2008

The NWZ A810 has to be the perfect mp3 player. Full stop.
Especially if you use DRM protected WMAs such as Napster.
Its light, its sturdy, and it really couldn't be any easier to use.
Its very much compatible with WMP which makes it very easy to drag and drop songs and you can use windows explorer to drag and drop pictures and video, however, i personally dont use it for watching videos.
The screen is very clear and large enough for you to see what you are doing.
The sound quality is excellent and the bundled headphones are pretty good too but i would advise getting your self an extra pair.
battery life is suberb, something like 30 hours and it only takes 3 hours to fully charge. you can do this via your computer USB or by getting yourself a wall plug USB adapter which are pretty cheap.
my only woe is the absence of gapless playback between songs, however the gap is under a second.
for anyone looking for that perfect MP3 player but not wanting to beak the bank, heres your answer. Forget the iPod, it only plays MP3s and DRM protected iTunes format and the battery is rubbish. People only get the ipod just as a fashion item.
This is a brilliant little device and i highly recommend it.
I've had mine for a year now and it works as well and lasts as long as the day i got it.
I can't recommend this enough! September 23, 2008

I was debating for ages whether to get this because I hate spending money unless I know I'm getting quality. Eventually the sheer number of positive reviews and the bargain price swayed me and I splashed the cash.
It arrived promptly and my word! The best purchase I've made in a long time, it's unbelievably simple to load music tracks onto it. I use Winamp and all that needs to be done is right click on the track and then "Send to: WALKMAN" That's it! I loaded up every track I wanted and I'd barely used a quarter of the player's memory!
The headphones provided are excellent and the sound is amazing. I'd recommend adding the 'screen protector' to the purchase because I've read a few reviews from people who didn't get it and they've found the screen cracks easily. It's only an extra tenner and saves any worry or hassle.
I should note that I'm recommending this despite the fact I'm not particularly fussed about the video side of things. All I cared about was music and it more than delivers on that front. The Spider-Man 3 trailer looks pretty sweet on it though!
If anyone is unsure as to whether to buy this, hopefully you'll read this review along with the countless other positive ones and you'll take the plunge.
You won't regret it!
Amazing September 23, 2008
The perfect piece of equiptment small light and perfectly easy to use i'd reccomend it to anyone the best sony item in the world.
Buy this item now. Genuine Bargain September 23, 2008
I've had the MP3/4 player for about 2 weeks now and it is the best 58 I've spent in a long time. The software is easy to use and the quality of the gadget itself is what you would expect from Sony.
It has made my bus trips to work and home an enjoyable experience.
Great for music and for film as well.
I have about 3 dozen albums and 6 hours of film and still room for more.
Overall I can't fault anything about this item and the Battery life is very impressive.
5 Stars , buy it now.
