Sony Walkman NWZ-S716 Reviews

CNET reviews the Sony Walkman NWZ-S716 and writes;

“The good: The unassuming Sony NWZ-S710F Walkman series of MP3 player delivers a perfect storm of on-the-go features, including music, photo, and video playback; FM radio; subscription music support; remarkable battery life; heavenly sound quality; and a feat only Sony could pull off: active noise-canceling in-ear headphones. The bad: The NWZ-S710F lacks memory expansion, voice recording, or integrated podcast management, and if you lose the bundled headphones, you’ll lose the Walkman’s noise-cancellation capability, as well. Sony’s proprietary USB cable can be a headache to replace, if lost. ”
