5 Reviews for Sony NWS705 - 2GB Walkman MP3 Player - With Noise Canceling Headphones - Black
Pricey, with terrible buggy software - 27 Jan 2008

Lovely looking machine, hindered by Sony's insistence for you to use their own audio format, rather than MP3.
You can't copy MP3 direct to the machine and have to use Sony's awful software to convert your music into ATRAC3 format. Despite hours spent trying to get this to work on Windows XP, the software keeps crashing - many other people are experiencing the same problem if you perform a quick search online. Despite trying several fixes, no joy. And without software, it's impossible to use the player.
Had they just allowed me to drag and drop MP3's like any other rival's player, then it would be easy, but now I'm stuck with a useless device. Thanks Sony! Nice work attempting to dominate the market with your own silly audio format.
Compare with the i pod 3rd Generation - 19 Nov 2007

I have just bought the SONY NW-S705 2 Gb player. It was a difficult choice, since the more widely bought i pod nano was almost the same cost & probably more appealing.
Reading the various reviews online did allow me to give the SONY a chance, especially since it's superior sound quality got it extra points. I also had the opportunity to hear my friend's Latest i pod (& there were no reviews for the new October 2007 3rd Generation version.
As expected, the sound of the SONY is far better, especially in relation to the Bass. The treble qualities are much the same in both. The noise cancellation properties are more pronounced in noisier surrounding, than in routine use (eg the gym). Also, the SONY offers features like virtual surround sound like Live, arena, etc which is a plus point.
As mentioned by various reviewers previously is the Sonic stage software - which is the one biggest drawback of this superb music system. I am not sure why such an advanced sound giant like SONY sticks to such an inconvenient software, instead of copy & paste or drag & drop functionality. Hence, information on album cover, etc all have to be entered manually.
Overall, I think that the product is good value for money, in spite of a few glitches.

Already have an older Sony 1gb mp3 which is excellent....however don't know why amazon still have this one priced so high.
Ok , I know it's not a brand new model but 50 hour battery life is great.
got mine from PC World at £39:95 !!!!!

The noise cancelling is amazing but only works with the supplied headphones- when these break (as headphones tend to do after a certain period of daily use) then you will NEVER be able to use the function again (as the only place selling replacements (on sony's behalf) seems to no longer stock them and when they were, they cost £45). My headphones lasted 3-4 months before they stopped working, if you take extreme care and don't use them often you may be lucky enough to get a few more months out of them. Also, to accomodate the unusual shaped plug at the end of the supplied phones, the socket in the player is specially shaped and in my experience, less secure; now, after 5 months of use it is slightly loose meaning the audio is impaired for any headphones I use, rendering the player useless unless im sitting/standing still.
Does what it says on the box - 12 Jul 2007

I love this player but i didn't buy it on Amazon I bought it at Argos for £49.99 for the 2GB version, it so lightweight charges easily holds my songs and i still actually have a lot of space left to add more love the noise cancelling function helps to ignore people and lets me get on with what i'm doing (i.e. essay writing, reading) Brilliant best buy in a long while!
