alright guys, ive been using this player for one whole day today and im giving my review on it.
btw, i had a E507 (1 gig) one, so you can see what i like about this one and my old one.
anyways, here it goes. i love the look of it, and the glossiness of it. sound quality is EXCELLENT. honestly, maybe its due to the headphones but this sounds so much clearer than my e507.
with noise cancelling turned off, the music is clear...with it turned on, the music is super clear. the NC really works!
what i wish the s705 had are these: one button for FM tuner rather than going to the menu and selecting the FM tuner. the display button on the bottom should switch places with the playmode button on the back. wished that the cable to transfer songs was a universal one (For the E507, i used my samsung mp3 player cable, and it worked, since the outlets are the same size).
i didnt like how the s705's headphones are so thick, especially when you connect the extension to the headphonese..its THICK. and the headphones are nice, but after a while, its gets semi-bothersome.
my old E507 the back of it had a ENGRAVING of the word "WALKMAN"...while the s705 has it printed on..which in my opinon makes it look cheaper.
i wished that sony included a carrying bag, or clip or neckstrap or something to carry this player rather than holding it. they should take out that cradle circle thing (which is useless unless you buy a cradle), and replace it with a carrying thing.
also compare to my e507, this player is slower..not transfer speed, but turning on and loading up. it takes probably 1 second longer to start up....it doesnt seem a lot on paper, but its very noticable...im used to the E507's instant on.
all in all this is a great little player. its a major plus with a color screen...although u cant really see the album arts very clearly since its so small...and you still cant see anything in direct sunlight...i wish sony made a remote for this. haha.
overall i still like my old E507 better, but for sound quality, the s705 beats it hands down. its like comparing a bmw to a honda....s705 being the bmw.
i give it a 8.5/10.
*the pink color isnt too bad...im a guy, but the front doesnt look THAT pink...more like burgundy...but the back...now thats a different story...and no, im straight, not gay. hahaha.
hope this helps guys. feel free to ask any questions.
