Arpy 4,145 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 On 5/14/2019 at 12:37 AM, ATXHusker said: Hey @Arpy would like to hear your feedback on this player. I'm considering buying it myself and ditching iTunes all together LOL At $178 I'm definitely considering it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0765ZVM6Y/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 Thanks! Sorry, I had other things going and forgot to write something up. Pros: As far as sound quality goes - it's great, it can play back hi-res audio files, although this is going to change depending on the quality of the music and the type of headphones you use! Everything sounds vibrant and clear. The interface is fine, easy to navigate and is really simple in its layout of all the folders and settings. It's all touch screen, save for the playback buttons running along the side that are a fixture of the Walkman brand. Array of audio adjustment features - Haven't played around with these too much, but when I have, it's made a noticeable improvement to the audio.Some of these features include adjusting the equalization, upscaling mp3 quality to higher res, virtual surround sound features. Portable - (well, duh!) Volume settings Cons: Sony Music Center: It's not terrible, but it is a hassle when all you want to do is drag and drop files in and be done with it, with this PC app acting like an intermediary much like iTunes. Yeah, you have to connect to this Center in order to transfer files and the results so far have been mixed. Occasionally it can't handle large file transfers (although I haven't need to transfer quite as much as I did when I got it!) and bugs out, meaning it transferred some of the files or none at all! Also, it has a hard time with cover art, as with the device, if it isn't a certain file type. No case - Sony don't have their own brand case for this Walkman meaning you have to buy one on the marketplace. Not too bad, but the walkman itself is so small that you wouldn't want to risk dropping it, so it's essential! Mehs: Battery life is alright, sometimes I've been surprised by how quickly it drains, but proper management and care of listening duration can solve that.

Sometimes during moving and such it would have been practical to have some smaller speakers, but still, they would have to stand on something when in use, so I guess it wouldn't save much space anyway.

Jurassic Shark 12,070 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Now they're in an unoptimal position almost touching the wall, due to children safety, but if I remember correctly the manual recommends at least 30 cm from the wall.

Jurassic Shark 12,070 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 There's also one at the back, but the speakers came with some cylindrical foam thingies that can be put in the bass ports to make the bass more damped and drawn out.

Jurassic Shark 12,070 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I experimented with it years ago when the speaker wasn't placed against a wall. Then I didn't really hear much difference.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 My $8 Sony earbuds are still going strong after 6 months.

A24 4,331 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Yes, no subs. Of course, it's an open-back headphone. Closed-back headphones have always more sub-bass. However, some reviewers talk about deep bass, others say not to expect a lot of bass because of the open-back system. They sound really impressive on the Pioneer A9 but I feel the bass could have done with 2 or 3 dB more. Again, bass is more pronounced on the Denon (a brand famous for warm its sound) so it's probably just a matter of buying the right headphone amp.
