Sony NWZ-E436F Walkman user reviews (4GB, red)

5.0 stars

"Awesome little player" on April 18, 2010 by BIueHeart

Pros: It's sleek, good in design, LONG battery life, awesome quality sound, super fm radio, and fits perfectly in my pocket. (Survives my accidents, as in falling on the ground, accidentally tripping and falling on my side as the mp3 is in my pocket.)

Cons: Can't change the background/theme. =(
Nothing else. XD

Summary: This product would satisfy people who love to hear music.

"Great little machine." on July 21, 2009 by charade539

Pros: Slim, lighweight, but solid design. My work uniform has extraordinarily shallow pockets, and my cellphone constantly falls out of them, not so with this little thing. Battery life is astounding, listened to it all day and it only dropped one bar.

Cons: Seems to take awhile when first turned on. "Creating library" screen for about 10-30 seconds, but otherwise works great. Some small issues getting it to recognize video, probably need a converter for it.

Summary: Contrary to the main review, they do come in 16gb now. I have the 4gb, which is all I really need. Easy to use, fits perfect in your pocket, and sounds great. I recommend combining them with the Outi headphones, which adds a whole new level of cool. (Plus the clippy thing on the headphones adds an extra level of security on the off chance the walkman should fall out of you pocket, hasn't happened to me yet, but better safe than sorry). I especially like the solid design, it's tiny, but made from good materials, making it feel less likely to break by looking at it funny. Once more, incredible battery life, no other electronics I have come close. Would've like an outlet converter included in the package though, as you have to plug it into a usb port to charge it.

Overall, really happy with it and totally worth the money. (By the way, the price is 69.99 at Best Buy now for the 4GB.)

"Solid, but with noticeable flaws" on July 16, 2009 by MrNexx

Pros: Good design, intuitive controls, large buttons.

Cons: Randomization is weird; it generates a random playlist (with the second song being the first in your alphabetical list), and will not deviate from that. If you select a song, it starts the playlist over again.
