Sony NW-S705F Noise Canceling Walkman (2GB, black)

Pros: Sound quality, battery life, features and build quality

Cons: Sonicstage transfers music very slow

Summary: This is the best sounding mp3 player on the market. As such, I can live with sonicstage. Other mp3 players come with crappy headphones. These headphones are sony's best, which makes buying this player the best deal ever. Price = $289.00 can. which makes it: $149.00 for the headphones and $140.00 for the player. The noise canceling really works, and it does not affect the sound quality atall. I have tested almost every mp3 player on the market, including creative zens and ipods and none can compare to the sound quality of this player. Way to go Sony.
