Just Superb!

I bought this a few weeks ago to use on long flights having previously owned an A100 Walkman. To be honest, I didn't think that unit could be bettered, but I was wrong, this newer iteration is simply superb. With an increased battery life - long enough to allow me to play hi-res files for an 8-hour flight and still have charge left, an improved interface and a new 'feel', this player will be a trusted companion for many trips to come, and not only for flights but also relaxing on the beach or by the pool! I have added a micro SD card to increase the native 32 gb storage capacity so that I can take a wide selection of hi-res tunes with me. Works brilliantly with B&W wired headphones as well as my Sony wireless in-ears. Just superb!

Great way to access your music library on the go.

I bought this so I could have my whole music library to hand using the SD card facility. For the price I love the sound quality compared to listening to music on a phone. I also cannot get my whole music library on to my IPhone. I do not use the on line functions as I really only bought it to listen to my stored music and at that it exceeds my expectations.

Ease to use

Overall, I'm satisfied with this Mp3. Unfortunately the package of mp3 doesn't come with the headset. I've been using this brand more than 10 years. It can last longer and sound is amazing.

Poor operating system

I mainly use Apple equipment, so am used to the MacOS and IOS operating systems. I find the whole Android experience 'buggy' and a waste of time. On occasion, the device can't find a pair of Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones and connection attempts have to be repeated over and over - until they finally connect. I'm afraid it is the sort of device which will find its way to the back of a drawer and quickly be forgotten about.
