Sony Walkman NWZ-E440 Series (E443/E444/E445) (MP3 & Media Players)

The Sony Walkman NWZ-E443 is a 4GB MP3 player that can display photos and videos on its 2in LCD screen. Other models in the Sony Walkman E-Series range have 8GB and 16GB storage capacities. The E-Series directly competes with Apple's iPod nano.

It's a close call between the Sony Walkman E-Series players and the Apple iPod nano. If you're on a budget you can pick up the 4GB E-Series model, while the Apple iPod nano is only available in 8GB and 16GB capacities. Even when it comes to the...

Sony's Walkman 4GB NWZ-E443 portable music player looks striking thanks to its slender, shiny red metal and black plastic design.

The Walkman NWZ-E443's video support is poor, but its good audio quality, long battery life, good looks and low price make it a great buy.

If you won't buy into the iPod nano hype, this is the MP3 player for you.

Excellent sound quality ; Allows drag-and-drop file management ; Physical controls enable in-pocket operation ; Uses a proprietary connector

Screen to small to make images/video viable

Plastic body is very prone to scratches; shorter battery life than the E-430

After introducing the X-series Walkman, it looks like Sony is refreshing the rest of its player lineup. We have a look at the new E-440 series Walkman to see what has changed.

Cheaper than an iPod Nano, great sound quality

Not as well designed as the iPod Nano, low screen resolution

The Sony NWZ-E443 has a very similar feature-set to the Apple iPod Nano, and it's almost the same size. We prefer the Nano's design, but the NWZ-E443 is slightly cheaper.

Sony's E443 Walkman Player is capable of a lot in terms of features and functionality.

Good sound quality. Good ease of use. Good battery life. Has an FM radio

Only OK video quality. No external speaker. Not Wi-Fi capable
