Sony Walkman E453 review

 

Sony's wallet-friendly Walkman is a miniature music marvel

Sony NWZ-E453 Walkman review

 

Squarely aimed at younger music fans, the NWZ-E453 makes up one-third of the brightly coloured E Series, which also includes the NWZ-E454 (8GB) and the NWZ-E455 (16GB). The model we're looking at comes with 4GB of built-in memory and offers up to 50...

Great audio quality, compact design, Karaoke Mode, easy file transfer

Small screen, flimsy control buttons

Excellent audio quality, innovative features and an affordable price tag make this compact music player a great buy

Sony Walkman NWZ-E453 review

 

The Sony Walkman NWZ-E453 isn't quite as slick or good-looking as its iPod rivals, but its simplicity, affordability and portability make it a worthy competitor none the less. Overall, it's a winner.

Slim and lightweight ; Good audio quality ; Easy to use ; Fun karaoke mode ; Affordable

Occasionally frustrating interface ; Not as slick as an iPod

The Sony Walkman NWZ-E453 isn't as slick or pretty as an iPod, but it's dead easy to use, extremely slim and highly affordable. We reckon it's a worthy alternative to an iPod if the taste of Apple makes you gag.

I'm new to MP3

 

Very pleased with this product. Just been abroad and have put hours and hours of language CDs on this tiny thing, saving loads of weight. Also very cheap as it was one of Amazons "re-conditioned" products. I try to buy Sony when it comes to electronics...
