RobA Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 (edited) No poll as there are too many options to list.My vote goes to...The NW-HD1! Small, light, brushed magnesium alloy, and reversable green blacklighting. Just so cool. Edited June 23, 2007 by Rob A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cauldron Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 I found a second-hand HD1 in Tokyo for about $85, so I bought one. The store had oodles of them too, because these are not upgraded and thus ATRAC-only. Used HD1s really don't hold much value compared to iPods. Lovely!For me though, the best looking NW is probably the MS70D/90D/77DR. It's Sony's mechanical kind of aesthetics at its best (for lack of a better phrase), and it pioneered wearing the player from the neck. They'd really be extremely collectable if MG MSDuo's weren't capped to 128MB.Which brings me to the A1000. If it wasn't for the "user experience" (that's even more disappointing than Connect Player), Sony would be dangerously close to selling itself based on brand perception alone, like a designer label.

kerfuffle Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 (edited) The NW-E400 and NW-E500 series. Beautiful, but pricey.And agree with Rob A on the NW-HD1 as well. I used to get asked why I didn't get an iPod (which was cheaper than the NW-HD1, but I got the NW-HD1 at the same price as the iPod as it was on sale) a lot when I first bought it.

aob9 Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 I think my vote would be the HD1 also, the cradle is a nice finishing touch. I also like the NW S70* series ( if I'm allowed to vote twice) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuLu Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 (edited) I always had a soft spot for my last cassette Walkman, the WM-FX673.I also thought the Sony NW-500 series (and the other in that line, the NW-400) were just stunning.LOG Edited June 26, 2007 by LuLu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangraman Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 My vote is for the A80x. There's more subtle detailing in the design over the boringly 'old Sony' HD1/3 and the cool looks extend to the UI as well as the casing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinji Ikeda Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 My vote has to be for the NW-S700/S600 series. It is very stylish, and as though it was made for the human hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zizone_ Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 NW-S700/600 series. The side view of this player is just beautiful. The second is NW-HD1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntiPod Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 (edited) my first vote sure goes to the "perfume bottles": A600, E500 and E400 series. My first mp3 player was E405 and I bought it simply because of its fabulous outlook and battery life!second choice would be the S200 series, how come nobody has mentioned it so far??
