Sony NWZ-B162 (2GB)

Zitat: The NWZ-B162 charges quickly and clips to clothing securely but it´s fiddly to use and offers no advantages over rivals from Apple and Sandisk

Zitat: + Schnell-Ladefunktion + Akkulaufzeit - Design, Bedienung

Zitat: The good: + The Sony NWZ-B162 is no bigger than a USB memory stick, and actually has a port on the end (hidden under a dust cover) for connections to your laptop or PC. There´s no need to use software – you can simply drag and drop files from your computer – making it easy to update songs on a regular basis and make the most out of the 2GB of storage. + Despite the tiny dimensions, there´s still space for a three-line LCD display, so unlike Apple´s iPod Shuffle you´ll always know what´s playing. You´ll find full controls on the right-hand side of the Sony NWZ-B162, letting you play and pause, skip songs or shuffle. + Aside from the cheap price, the best bit about the Sony NWZ-B162 is its quick charge feature, offering enough run time after just 90 seconds to keep you going for a few hours. In total, the Sony NWZ-B162 manages to run for 18 hours, and when it dies simply plug it into a USB port to charge up again. The bad: - The most limiting thing about the Sony NWZ-B162 is the 2GB of storage, proving easy to fill up. However, it´s easily enough for 20 or so albums, promising to keep you entertained for at least a day or two. With the ability to drag and drop files, updating music collections is also not a problem. Although you can listen to music easily enough on your smartphone, it drains the battery life and threatens to leave you without a phone when you need it most. The Sony NWZ-B162 is a great solution, proving incredibly cost effective, and doing everything you´ll ever need.

Zitat: Pros: + Affordable + Fast charging Cons: - Naff shuffle mode - Fairly low volume A simple, few-frills MP3 player that´s well-suited to gym bunnies and runners, we wouldn´t recommend using the NWZ-B162 as your primary MP3 player, but it makes a solid backup. It´s ready to give you a burst of a couple of hours playback after just a few minutes of charging and sound quality is decent at the price.

Zitat: The Good: + Compact size + nice design + on-board USB connection + decent audio + easy to use + ZAPPIN search function The Bad: - Only basic functions - only 2GB memory - sound clarity is lost at high volume A decent, but basic, audio performance, a compact design and a bargain price tag make this a great buy
