Summary: Bluetooth and Player works great 2008-07-28
Comment: I just bought the NWZA828KBLK. It has 8GB and comes with a DR-BT21G Bluetooth Headphone and a MDR-EX082 Cord Headphone. All I can tell you is that this is a wonderful product. The music sounds great with the cord headphone and the Bluetooth headphone works wonderfully with the music player without requiring me to configure it. All I need is to press the Bluetooth button and I am able to listen to my music. I was able to walk around my room and listen to my music that sounds great for more than eight hours. I was surprised that I was able to pair my DR-BT21G Bluetooth headphone with my Bluetooth phone. I can now listen to music and use the phone with the same Bluetooth headphone. When my phone rings, the headphone pause my music player and I was able to answer and talk to my phone. It is easy to pair the headphone with your phone. While the headphones are off, hold down the power button for 7 seconds and enter passcode "0000" when your phone ask for a passcode.

Summary: Fantastic player, but, . . . 2008-07-28
Comment: I purchased this player for the Bluetooth features it offers. It's a great sounding and looking player with a small form factor and packed with features. I have a set of Sony Bluetooth headphones that were originally designed for use with a phone, i.e., they have a small receiver that houses the microphone, but keeps the neck chain style cords (which I prefer) in place. Unfortunately, the headphones are inferior to Sony's wired phones (except for a bluetooth version available only in Japan) and the design is frustrating due to the fact that it does have an extra piece that needs to be attached somewhere close to the head to be used. Because of these issues I decided to forego the bluetooth and return to a wired situation and because of the cost and storage capacity, returned this item for a Creative Zen 32GB. I don't believe the sound quality is quite as good as the Sony, but all things considered it's the right choice for me. I have since, moved away from Sony headphones and am so far happy with the Philips SHE9850.

Summary: Incredible 2008-06-19
Comment: I will second the previous review by nycebo. He sums it up nicely. Sound quality is amazing, blows my ipod out of the water. The only problem is that it does not support my Audible files.

Summary: Best portable player on the market 2008-05-22
Comment: The Sony Walkman 16GB is a fact. It has 16GB of internal memory. It has a bluetooth connection for seamless syncing. It is lightweight but feels substantial, indeed reminding me of the original cassette Sony Walkman from more than 2 decades ago that used to be constructed in a metallic case. It is the finest portably music player that I have encountered. I won't bother comparing to others, including the iPod, because the Sony tops them all.
First, the sound: it is fantastic. It is not a CD player in terms of fidelity, but it gets you 95% of the way there. Using both the included earphones, which are not too bad at all, and my superior Shure e4c earphones, which are fantastic, the fidelity of recorded MP3s and WMAs was outstanding. Bass was tight and not overpowering. There is a bass enhancer for those of you that like more of a thump. Trebles were clear and bell-like. Distortion was not evident across the volume range.
Second, the interface: I love it. The Dpad makes scrolling around and finding songs very intuitive and easy. Volume controls on the side of the unit, Play/Pause dead center of the Dpad. Navigation is very easy using a menu-driven system that does not require any manual to understand. The lock button is also on the side of the screen to prevent against random taps.
Third, the form factor: It's small and light, but the unit feels tight, firm, and solid. It doesn't remotely feel plasticky and cheap. I love the audio jack at the bottom of the unit instead of the top. The screen is breathtaking. I'm not kidding, it's like a mini HD-TV. Very bright, adjustable, and 100% smoothness of motion. Videos are crisp as is the player interface.
Fourth, connectivity: Just plug into your USB port on the computer and the Sony is recognized immediately. There is no need to install anything (I used Windows Vista). Did I already mention Bluetooth? Wireless autosync could be the coolest thing ever. It paired immediately with my computer and syncs right to Windows Media Player 11.
Net net, this unit just does everything that I want in a unit: solid, light, sleek, great sound, great video. I hate that this review probably reads like a Sony commercial but I can't believe how enamoured I am with the Walkman. I've been waiting years to upgrade my iRiver 1GB MP3 player but nothing ever really convinced me until now. I never liked the Apple offerings since I think the fidelity is mediocre and found the non-Apple products to be wanting. I'm glad that Sony finally got serious about this product segment again because their previous efforts were pretty poor. Well, not anymore. Two thumbs up all the way!

Summary: Nice MP3 player, Sony NWZA829 2008-04-03
Comment: I think the statement in the title is correct, the memory capacity is 16G for Sony NWZA829, 8G for NWZA828. The regular price is 320 and 260, respectively. High quality display and blue tooth system is attractive to me. The price right here is also too special to believe. If I have a budget for this, I will place the order immediately.
