Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A perfect player, but a bit too late to the market.
Simply, the best audio/video player on the market. I had a Creative Zen device, an iPod, a Sansa, and finally settled on a Walkman.
Audio quality is excellent; videos even on the small screen look sharp; navigation buttons and controls are intuitive and easy to use. Compared to all other players, the Sony gadget has incredible battery life. This is very important for me, because I use it non-stop for several hours a day( mostly for listening to lectures/podcasts and audiobooks).

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Screen went Blank
I have always liked all SONY products. This player was working well. I did enjoy the simplicity of transfering music and the way it was organized. I bough it in May but after 6 months the screen went blank. I see some vertical lines of green color, but most of it is black now. Don't know what happened. I had it in my pocket during a warm sunny day while walking. Don't think thats a reason for the screen to break down. I'll take it with SONY support and see if they can do something.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Amazon consistently states incorrect dimensions for this player
Why does Amazon list the wrong dimensions for this product in all of its listings?

This is clearly not a 1.3" x 5.8" x 6.6" player!

Potential customers should realize that it is instead 0.5" x 1.7" x 3.1".

Big difference!

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great sound, graphics and controls.
The NWZ-A818 is a wonderful little mp3 player that is fun to listen to, look at and easy to control.Plays a number of music formats.The graphics are crystal clear.It looks cool and attracts attention, but can also be comfortably holstered to an arm and out of the way if you're working out.If you love your music, this device won't disappoint, with great earbuds right out of the box.

I didn't expect it to have an FM radio, which it doesn't have, but that would have made this mp3 player ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fantastic Player (After You Format It)
I've had this player for a couple of months now, and me and this player didn't get along until recently.First all of the good stuff:The battery life is incredible, the sound is the best I've heard from any MP3 player, it feels very sturdy, and the screen is easy to look at.

However, almost all of that was overwhelmed by the interface between the player and the computer sucking so bad.You use windows explorer and media player to load and delete songs off of the player.And this never worked ... Read More
