Sony NW-E105 Network Walkman Reviews

Advancedmp3players.co.uk reviews the Sony NW-E105 Network Walkman MP3 player and writes – ‘If it’s sharp looks and sporty design you’re after in an MP3 player, say hello to the NW-E100 series. The Sony NW-E105 features 512 MB capacity and can transfer up to 345 songs on to the internal memory thanks to ATRAC3plus compression technology

A round, ergonomic design delivers uncluttered and easy control, while an LCD window enables users to refer to song, artist, or album titles while listening to music. All models in the series also deliver 70 hours of Stamina battery life with just one AAA alkaline battery.’

CNET Reviews the Sony NW-E105 Network Walkman MP3 player and gives it a ‘Very good’ rating. They write – ‘Unsurprisingly, with native MP3 support and competitive pricing, Sony pits its player against the leaders of the pack.

The first thing that stands out about the NW-E105 is the fact that it’s priced to compete squarely with Apple’s iPod Shuffle. This is an uncharacteristic move for Sony–the company’s audio players are usually priced on the high side; for example, its 20GB NW-HD1 originally sported a $400 tag, but it’s now $300. Perhaps more surprising, however, is that the NW-E105 includes a decent sampling of features. You can browse through songs or through folders labeled by album, and there are several playback options from which to choose: repeat all, repeat single, shuffle all repeat, repeat group, and shuffle group repeat. Within the menu, you can select whether you want the track info or time elapsed shown on the LCD. You can also turn the alert on or off (this is a loud beep when you switch tracks; we recommend “off”), choose to have the backlight always off, set the date and time–which pops up on screen when you hold down the menu button–and activate AVLS. This last feature is Sony’s Automatic Volume Limiter System, which limits the max volume to prevent “auditory disturbance.” Normally, we would doubt the usefulness of such a feature, but when we turned the NW-E105 all the way up–or almost all the way–we understood; this thing gets loud.

Fantastic battery life; inexpensive; solid sound quality; gets really loud; innovative rocking faceplate controls.’
