Sony Walkman Review

8 GB MP3 Player  8/10

By


NWZ-E354BLKA user-friendly MP3 player with fast syncing and a long battery life, this Sony Walkman device allows you to drag and drop media files from multiple applications, including iTunes and Windows Media Player. The SensMe feature conveniently groups your songs together by beats-per-minute, creating fun on-the-go playlists. We liked the feature that lets you turn down the vocals and boost the music so you can sing along with your favorite tunes, all while reading the lyrics on the screen. The device is easy enough to navigate with the five-way circular button interface. The screen isn’t really large enough to enjoy video or photo, but as a music player, it more than serves its purpose for the price of $100.49.
