iroczvinnie Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I've been playing arround and listening to my wife's generic 4gig MP4 player and, while I am impressed with its ability to play videos, and the FM radio, I'd have to say that I'll take my NW HD3 any day.Navigation is cumbersome and anoying. On this particular model you also can't look though your music while it is playing etc.The supplied software is terrible, though you can use windows media player to sync or other software.My biggest issue with it is the sound quality. Even with my seinhizer headphones the amount of feedback/static is quite bizare. Oh and battery life is arround 6-8 hours (music)I guess that's why I bought a sony. Great sounding music, easy to use player. Yes, I have my issues with SS, but I live with it.Anyway enough of a rant, just thought I would share this with the world.

iroczvinnie Posted January 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 by generic 4gb mp4 player you mean ipod or zune or any sony player ?HiI meant chinese unbranded player.While my wife's is supported by a local distributer, however it is a rebranded chinese player. It has some extra features that many of the unbranded chinese players don't have such as speaker, dual headphone out, voice recording, plays videos wide screen etc.I guess It wouldn't be too bad (for the price - $100 AUD for 4gig - 1.5"screen) if the software on the player was tweeked. It's just not intuitive or "friendly" to navigate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiipod Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I don't think there is ever going to be an unbranded MP3 player that can be compared to a Sony walkman, i mean we are talking about Walkman, even other brands MP3 players will look bad if they are compared to Sony walkman.

thefanboy Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 but you know, most of your description fits well for that popular music player!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotthat Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 JB HI has cheaper 4GB mp3 player, it's like AUD 89, either it's from korea or australia, sq is uncertain, probably same as the unbranded one that u have got. Beside Sony's troublesome software part, everything else with walkman is very good, now u can even have non atrac walkman as well, there are just way too many low sq quality mp3 around like what u mentioned and also like ipod etc, so just enjoy the walkman mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
