Sony Walkman NWZ-A865

Very clear sound. Easy to operate.

Sony Walkman NWZ-A865

Very easy to use. I haven't got to grips with all of the functions yet and not had time to set up playlists. I use it mainly in the gym and it is perfect for that. Good sound quality. Overall very pleased with it.

Sony Walkman NWZ-A865
