This review is from: Sony Walkman NWZS545BLK 16 GB Video MP3 Player (Black) (Electronics) When searching for a new mp3 player the trail always leads me back to Sony. Its more about overall quality then brand loyalty. Over the years Sony's Walkman line has gone the distance and more. The all new Sony S Series Walkman adds to the legacy. The S-545 16gb Walkman brings it on with a crisp, color enhanced 2.4" LCD screen that is easy on the eyes. At 2" x 4" x .4", it comes in a bit larger then its older cousin. A larger body undoubtedly is required to provide support for the external speaker system. The speakers won't get confused with my home system anytime soon but they do provide an excellent source. With headphones on, this mp3 player delivers a cornucopia of sound. Missing but not that noticeable is the noise reduction feature. The on board equalizer can be tweaked to one's own preferences or users can choose one of the six presets. The Navigation pad located directly under the screen is a breeze to operate. Three controls are located on the...Read more 90 of 96 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Sony Walkman NWZS545BLK 16 GB Video MP3 Player (Black) (Electronics) Great sounding and easy to use MP3 I have owned. I have had a Philips GoGear (froze and had to format all the time) a creative Zen (stopped working after 6 months) and a Zune 120 GB (great storage but not the best sounding MP3, plus a little to bulky when jogging). This is the easiest MP3 to use and the sound is great. For people who exercise, especially joggers, this is the perfect size and at 16GB holds quite alot of music. The screen size is only 2.4 but is very clear and once you use the transfer feature that comes with the player is easy to transfer photos and videos.
The speakers won't blow you away, but I got it for when I work outside in the garden and didn't want to haul out my speakers to plug in. Plus, when I am at work I can use it at the lunch table and not be rude when people sit with me and cannot listen to music. They do sound pretty good for the size, just an extra bonus on the player. Last, a great price for an 16GB 130 of 144 people found the following review helpful: By Cheeseboy (Tacoma, Washington) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Sony Walkman NWZS545BLK 16 GB Video MP3 Player (Black) (Electronics) I'm not exactly an mp3 player expert, so maybe I have unrealistic expectations. I really like (but not love...) this mp3 player, but there are a few things that I would have done differently if I had been the designer.
Video: This is advertised as being video capable (very nice screen), but I was surprised that this didn't play .wmv files. They play on Windows Media Player (and every other player I know of - Nero - Winamp), but not on the Sony. I thought .wmv was very popular, and am surprised that it can't play them. Fast Forward: when you push and hold the "forward" button, it slowly "fast forwards" through the song 4 seconds at a time. It would be nice if after a few seconds, it kicked in the "turbo" and really zoomed through the file at a quicker rate - maybe 10 or 15 seconds at a time or something. If you want to fast-forward 40 minutes into an hour-long mp3 file (ie: radio program on mp3), you're going to be there for a long time while it slowly...Read more |
