Sony NWZ-A818 (8GB, black)

Pros: AWESOME sound, sturdy/solid metal build, numerous sound enhancements/adjustments, quality earbuds, small size, user friendly navigation

Cons: FF/RW could be faster (even with pause feature), organization of music lineup, other than that nothing

Summary: This MP3 player is phenomenal...the sound is amazing. I mostly listen to progressive house/trance and dance music and let me tell you, with the sound on this thing, it feels like your live right in the club next to the speaker. It's even good for future hearing loss from listening to loud music because it's toned down and not a sharp loud sound. It's a very comfortable yet deep sounding tone. I wanted something different since everyone and their brother has an IPod and boy am I more than happy with this. If your looking for a real-to-life sounding music player, this is the one for you. I am very critical and selective so you can count on this review. Only problem with an accesory that I have come across was that there was no armband for the gym (which is mainly what I need this for). But, sure enough I found one (Made by DLO for the Samsung T10 MP3 model # of the case is 005-2425) at Best Buy that fits this thing perfect (except for the volume control and hold button, which is easily pressed through the case and the hold button is at the bottom so you can easily slip finger through and switch it). Just make sure this is the correct fit when your at the store because I threw the box out and I am getting all the case info from BB website. Im sure it's this one, but if it's not find the ones that look most similar to this because one of them will fit this player perfectly, I should know cause I have it. Go for it guys!
