Pros great built and audio quality

Cons lack of user interface customization and horrible blister pack

Recommended it? Yes

Many music players exist on the market, but most of the flash based units out have build quality issues or sound quality issues. Does Sony live up to their heritage of quality goods or is it another flash player in an over saturated market that does not perform, read and find out.

I have to admit, I LOVE this mp3 player. I had originally bought this mp3 for my daughter because she was constantly asking for one ever since her ipod broke and I ended up going out to buy myself one in another color. This mp3 is great. It has many different play modes which allow me to shuffle,... Read full review »

Pros Price, 4Gb capacity, no need for supplied software on most computers

Cons Slow transfter speed

Recommended it? Yes

Monday I decided it was time to get a new portable MP3 player. My choice, after looking at several in a local store, was the Philips GoGear Vibe 4Gb. My older Sony D-NF340 Personal CD Player was a great device that lasted for many years but the lack of a configurable equalizer and only... Read full review »

I purchased this mp3 player to listen to inspirational music during my weekly prayer hour at church. The sound quality is good and it is very easy to sync your music to it. I use Windows Media Player instead of the program it came with (Rhapsody, I believe). It is difficult... Read full review »
