Press Reviews

	Cnet Review "Whereas Apple's miniscule new iPod shuffle tries very hard to blend in, Sony's Walkman NWZ-W202 tries equally hard to grab your attention. If you don't mind its eye-catching, gym-geek appearance, its practical design, simple interface and superb sound quality will probably win you over"     Full Review Date Added: Tuesday 04 May, 2010 RATED: 8.2/10

	Chris Moir(Date Added: Wednesday 20 May, 2009) Pros: - Plays all the audio tracks i've thrown at it. - Lovely quality of sound - 'Zappin' function works quite well - Comfortable to wear - No wires Cons: - Jog dial not a responsive as I'd have liked - Shuffle function is hidden round the inside of the player I tend to use shuffle to hit the album i fancy, then change from shuffle to listen to that album. awkward to it with the shuffle button pressed against your head( maybe it's just me) -doesn't fit in a pocket, which means you need to wear it all the time, or carry it in your hand... -possibly not water resistant. I'm hoping this was just a defect with the player i got, but after 20 minutes of running with the player on i started experienceing weirdness(zappin in function starting up/ unresponsiveness to controls/ volume decreasing/switching off) this happened to me twice within a week of getting the player, so have sent it back, awaiting a replacement. This really irritated; as the player seems to be touted as a 'sports' player. Hopefully the replacement player will not suffer after prolonged use... Otherwise it's back to the ipod shuffle. which is a fantastic player, and hasn't caused me any problems(besides losing the tiny things)
	Lenka Hlavacova(Date Added: Thursday 23 April, 2009) This is the best thing i ever bought,it is so light and fits perfectly you wont feel that you are wearing it,its great,highly recommended
	Deandra Darling(Date Added: Thursday 23 April, 2009) I found the earpieces a little awkward to put in my ears at first - but after a couple of times I got the hang of it, and they really stay in well! The sound quality is great, and I love the spin controls. These are a great change from getting my headphone wires continually caught in the cross-trainer! :)
