Round talent with top sound

After my dearly beloved Cowon J3 had given up the ghost, I was looking for a phonetically similar good MP3 player, which not so simple turned out to be. The genre of pure MP3 player seems to be ousted by the smartphone, which are, however, my demands on sound quality does not do justice.
Through tests in audio magazines I became aware of the NWZ-F886. After 3 months of operation, I am very satisfied with the Sony.

The main thing is of course the sound, thanks to a variety of individual adjustment possibilities of the Sony competitors here depends significantly. Whether classical, jazz, pop or rock, you can create and save your own individual sound preference. The supplied headphones are already well above the level otherwise provided, but with some really good head listening as my Bose you realize really what is delivered for a sound quality from Sony here.
I often use the player to train, the Digital Noise was crucial for me. Again, the Sony scores in everyday life. Sörendes chatter or driving noises are almost hidden and you can experience music pure.
From the volume ago me the player is perfectly adequate, which is positive to note that despite the high volume environment is not disturbed.

For me it was also important that the player has Bluetooth, so I can pair it with a sound box. With the Sony absolutely no problem, it's even the NFC standard, in which the player is autmatisch coupled with other NFC devices. The sound is not affected by Bluetooth. In addition, the Sony has a decent built-in speaker, with the although you can sonicate no party, but for music alongside the already not bad.

The NWZ-F886 is actually with its Android 4.1 operating system, a tablet PC with a special focus on music playback. If you already have an Android device, you can put away the manual. As you would expect.
Advantage, of course, that you can go into the net via WiFi to download apps, music, movies and games can.
The internet speed is very neatly and securely fix just like my Samsung Galaxy 4 smartphone.
The playback of videos and films on the small screen is of course already getting used to, but the colors are brilliant and the sharpness really good.

Last positive point is the endurance :. With a charging time of just under 2 hours of battery for nearly 25 hours of continuous music operation, or approximately 6 hours of movie watching is enough.

2 drawbacks are there:
The internal memory of 32 GB can not prosper. Since my Cowon was better positioned with its slot for an SD card.
Sony denies the general Trend Micro USB to use as the default and uses a proprietary cable design. So you have a new cable in the collection again, having to drag along on vacation.

Conclusion: Sound Moderately likely the Sony NWZ-F886 safe in its price class all other players and smartphones depend. Other possible applications thanks to Android OS is certainly an added bonus, so that the device is traveling a genuine all-rounder. I do not want to miss him.
