SWIMMING:
The Notes users here were very important to frustration to avoid at the beginning: to use as early as possible before swimming so the plugs already sit well when you climb into the shower, then always secure with the rubber of swimming goggles, in between not remove. If water gets into the ear canal and plugs succeeds only sometimes this (through the "Ausklopftechnik" described in the instructions again to remove). The operation in and under water works very well (I noticed only after several weeks that you can jump between folders scale, we find his music then well) the more you use it the more natural one knows the key functions.
Since then I have him I go swimming regularly, hold much longer by and have also viiiiel more fun (the sound quality underwater is breathtaking, had to learn first that I just can not open up and sing along with your mouth. I will use the device to the ear (plus swimming goggles) something stupid look, I could not care less. Conclusion: I can not swim without!
Running, cycling:
the only advantage that the NWZ offers in other sports is my opinion that he does not have a cable + terminal. This makes handling easier and it gets tangled up anywhere (and you do not always pay attention on it that the sport pants also has' ne pocket). Although the tone "in the air" may not be as brilliant as with other players, I use the NWZ for all sports and am very satisfied. I drive sometimes even to work with it, but this is not really recommended: who "foreclosed" wheel drives must at all joy 5x be as careful as other road users (and the thing under the bonnet hide) ...
The previous reviews I have to add a key aspect: the USB CHARGER
She's the reason I ever abgebe my opinion. The earplugs are clicked directly into the station. The player must be connected in any other way with a plug, because there is no input for this is because (water-retentive) .The station has a USB connector and can be charged via a computer and loaded with music. That works very well. Problem: you have to go necessarily have the station there when you realize that the player was already forever no longer charged and therefore could be empty soon. For such an occasion, I then lost the station, which is just EXTREMELY annoying. Even more annoying when the Sony sub spare parts company offers a replacement for 77 Euro (as I'll buy a new player rather ?!).
CONCLUSION:
+ Thank Sony for this innovative product that has changed my relationship with water sustainably!
- Too bad Sony that your company policy (less sustainable) avoids providing spare parts and instead relies on new purchase.
- It would be nice, Sony, the same shaped frame a storage box for players and Station when buying - the product would thereby make a wertigeren impression it would be well protected in every gym bag, and I had the station probably not even lost.
