Sony NWZB173B WALKMAN MP3 Player 4GB with clothes clip (Electronics)

Customer Review

He who hears only music, can be safely happy with the part. Who wants to hear from time to audiobooks: Forget it.

+ Good sound quality. By pressing a button considerably enhanced bass response that sounds high clean and punchy bass and also lazy headphones bass level teaching (This function, however, disables the equalizer settings).
+ Low weight and attachable clip that looks solid. Suitable for sports, though the size (about a thick disposable lighter with NEM USB connector on it) for some movement by the collar (if you anclipt there) ensures that might disturb some people.
+ Fast charging time.
+ Simple "feeding" drag and drop. No other software is required.
+ Synchronized with Windows Media Player.
+ No cable required, the USB connector is located on the player.
+ Music selection both folder structure as well as via ID3 tags possible.
+ Good output power for such a tiny tot. In the point I can not quite understand other reviewers, unless those who like to blow the eardrums or have headphones with an extremely low efficiency.

- The fact that Audible is not supported, I knew. The fact that the player will not automatically (such as the Sansa Clip) remembers the most recently belonged position in audiobook folders of any length and for any number of folders is annoying but bearable. But that bookmarks can not even be saved, just not at all.
- In addition, the player to at least 24 hours 'forgets' the spilled during turn-off position!
- Scrolling through many titles is unbearably slow (in conjunction with the points above upon it the final out).
- The entire interface is tedious and cumbersome. Instead of it and to think about useful features, Sony is building a one "Zappin" feature, which plays to short excerpts from titles in fast forward. Also annoying flashing displays and LEDs (at least the LEDs are deactivated at least) and a voice recorder function. Ok, one or the other may find this useful.

Conclusion: 3 points for a really solid music player may sound unfair. But no bookmarks is a no-go. Yes, this also was not in the product description, but I've just to be completely taken for granted.
This unique mix is ​​the Sony support forum, but Sony ignores the many users apparently a long time. That would be a tight day labor for NEN not completely talentless programmers. No idea what Sony thinks it.

Since Rockbox is not available for Sony equipment, the contract includes no solution. One can only return: |
