 Almost Perfect November 22, 2008
dennyjoe (London)
Like many these days I've owned quite a few mp3 players and this is the best yet. Sony have focused on something strangely missing in many mp3 players out there. Sound quality.
Many have remarked on the sound being accurate rather than too bassy. The headphones provided are fine, but if you love music reproduction at a high quality buy some quality earphones and this player won't let you down.
I am lucky to own a pair of Shure 530 earphones and sound of Camille's Music Hole makes for such a joyess experience that I will forgive the fact that sony did not include an fm radio.
The screen is also a joy to watch. Unfortunately this player is not compatible with iplayer, whilst sony's latest mp3 player Sony NWZ-S639FB 16GB Drag & Drop MP4 Video Player with FM tuner in Black is. Before you're tempted to run off and buy that one (as I did), be warned that the screen on the NWZ-S639 is disappointely small compared to this player and the sound quality is not of the same standard (by some way i think).
It would have been nice if they'd supported iplayer as as the screen is fabulous and I also miss not being able to listen to the radio using it. However, if you're something of an audiophile then this player won't disappoint.
 Great all rounder and is Mac compatable! November 13, 2008

Small, sleek, robust. This player has everything you need from a modern MP3 player... and more!
To answer that nagging question that seems to remain unanswered on the web, or that which the Sony customer services fail to inform you, YES this gadget IS mac compatable and will function as an external hard drive.
In addition to this, those with Apple Macbooks - The Bluetooth facility is easy to use and Syncs up well with my v4.
Not much else to say that isnt covered in the tech specs.
Buy this, and you wont regret it!
Good Little Player October 19, 2008

Yeah so maybe it doesnt have as many features as many of the other players on the market, but trust me. the ones it does have are amazing in comparison to most of the others. I already own an Ipod nano 3rd Gen, a Creative zen vision m and i'd rather use this player.
The sound is the first thing that you think of with an mp3 player, or atleast it should be. thats where apple have gone wrong in the past. ive never been one for playing games or reading notes, or other gimmicks some companies use.Its just not what an mp3 player is for. Loads of EQ and surround options to choose from. apple has. . . like none.
The video is really sharp aswell, although i dont really use this feature much.
The battery power is another plus for the sony, MUCH better than any of the other mp3 players ive used and it doesnt seem to have a dimmer screen or lack in power etc.
Bluetooth is a good little touch aswell, works well with my sony bluetooth system, although does not work with phones or computers which is disappionting.
If you're looking for a great sounding player rather than a silly feature packed battery drainer, this is the one for you. 4 and a half Stars
 Great player, media manager a massive letdown October 16, 2008

I do own an NW-808 as well but I cracked the screen so decided to buy this. Massive disappointment. There have been many bad points said about SonicStage, which came with 808. Personally I found it very easy to use, if a little clumsy in parts. However, the new interface with the 729 is appalling. You cannot rename or edit tracks on your player with it (nor with WMP). You cannot play tracks off the player through your computer. You cannot select which way you view your files (eg sorted by album, artist or track). It freezes constantly (have had to cancel a few transfers already). There is no ATRAC format on the 729, meaning you have to reduce the MP3 size (I've got more music on my 8gb 808) with a very noticeable loss of quality. Pretty much all the album art is completely wrong (admittedly there could have been a mistake on my part somewhere?).
I've come back to edit, because it gets worse. When you manually enter a tracklisting, and then press enter, after wasting half an hour of your time, the tracks don't even change names! I'm taking mine back to Argos tomorrow, simply because the interface has been designed by a five year old. A five year old penguin.
I was expecting a lot more, as the 808 with the much derided SonicStage performed all the tasks I mentioned above. It seems that with trying to make it more user friendly (and to be honest, if you couldn't figure out SonicStage, you probably don't have thumbs anyway) they've made it as basic as possible, and, ironically, it's a thousand times less user friendly than before! I can't change my rating to 2 stars, but that's what I'm giving it. I give the 808 5 stars.
An annoying and frustrating piece of kit. I've carried on using my broken older model.

Under Product Description, Box Contents, it says it comes with an AC Power adaptor. It doesn't. All it comes with is a USB lead to charge it from a computer.
