I have owned many of the high end tape and cd players sony has offered,
including the most recent ultrathin DNE20 cd player, a mini-disk player
and the original silver-blue metal walkman.
The sound quality on the E series player is exceptional, qualitatively
exceeding all previous offerings. Listening to a excellent recording of,
say, classical piano music, you may get the impression that the piano
is in the room, and even be able to make out some level of structure
( for instance, how far away the piano was during recording ).
The user interface is self explanatory and very adequate for listening
to cd's. If you have a pc with the right windows operating system
and media player, it is simple to transfer disks to the player using the
few printed instructions that come in the box.
The actual execution of transfer still has some problems : If your disk
was sold by a distributor not linked to microsoft's ( proprietary? )
database, you may find that the cover photo and track titles have been
replaced by the closest thing microsoft can find in its online database.
Although I could type in the right titles myself, I couldn't find a
simple way to insert the right cover photo and occasionally ( once or
twice ) cover photos did not get transferred into the player.
On the other hand, windows media player is supposed to 'rip' the whole
content of the cd, which does appear to get transferred into the player.
This, along with the onboard 5-channel equalizer may account for the
difference in sound quality compared with the ipod.
If your main interest is listening to music, and have regular access to
a windows pc, the E-344 is very well worth the ~$75. Sony also offers to
replace the player after 2 or 3 years for an up-front payment of ~$11
( 2 years ). |
Sweet small media player from Sony

| The E-series walkman has really excellent sound quality, long battery life, simple to use UI and classy look all combined. Also, it is a really open system (specially considering it is from Sony): A. simple drag-and-drop is all that is required to transfer music (though you can make a traditional sync partnership with Windows Media Player 11 if you want to) -- not having to deal with a bloatware like iTunes is pure bliss; B. no special port/sync/charging cable -- the player has a mini-USB port, and a (supplied) mini-USB to USB cable does sync and recharging the battery. Only one gripe: there is no way to make on-the-go playlists from the walkman; you must make the playlists beforehand in Windows Media Player and sync. Oh, and the 2" LCD screen is bright and has nice contrast. |
Excelent Ipod nano Alternative

I wanted a cheaper MP3 that I could use for the Gym and in the plane, still wanted to have a way to scroll to my music library but still have a portable device that played my ACC itunnes files,
Well I find it all, this device is smaller and ligher than a ipod nano, play ACC, sycn easily with the windows media player or a light sinc apllication included, browsing files was simple, and sound is excellent, I have not test how long battery last so I can not say about that
Cons:
-I have not been able to play my itunes videos, but that was just nice to have, no huge deal for me
-headphones included are cheap, I bought a 10 dollar phillip headphones that sound decent but are more confortable.
Bottom line, is an excelent alternative to ipod nano. |
fantastic MP3 player

| I like my new Walkman. I've had it about 2 weeks and it's been fantastic. I can't say I'm a techie, but I do know how to use electronics and this has been pretty simple. The product works as advertised and is a fantastic price to boot. The battery seems to have a excellent life and the media player syncs with the Walkman easily and quickly. The only drawback is finding accessories. DLO has a decent case with a clip, but I have found small from Sony at this point. |
Fantastic product for the $$

| This Sony Walkman is ideal for my purpose. I use it to plug into a hearing protection headset (when using power tools) and it's perfect. A much better buy than an IPOD which costs 3 times as much. The 8gb is more than adequate for my purpose. The connection to computer and downloading process is also very simple (even for a 68 year ancient man). I could not be more pleased with the buy. By the way, Amazon also delivered quickly and in excellent shape. Thanks!! |
