Sony NWZ-B162

The Sony NWZ-B162 is a tiny MP3 player, offering all you'll ever need for under £30. With 2GB of storage space, it'll never challenge fully-fledged iPods, but it's a great solution for the daily commute or a quick workout in the gym. The good The Sony...

Sony Walkman NWZ-B162

I am not a technophobe. I bought this player to replace an older one of a similar design which had seen very good service. I chose this one because I wanted one which was similar to operate and I am not disappointed. It is very easy to use all the...

I don't use it for music. I am learning to speak French and have put a lot of French language discs onto it. Using the earphones the volume is OK, but I want to use it with a mini-speaker system and find that the volume could do with being louder. I...
