Sony NWZ-S545 (16GB)

Zitat: Der neue Top-Player von Sony ist mit Clear-Sound-Technik ausgestattet, die zu spritzigem, dynamischem Klang verhilft. Selbst die Stereo-Mini-Lautsprecher können sich hören lassen. Die Bedienung läuft über Tasten.

Zitat: The good: + Sony cares more about your ears than that daffy old aunt who always gives you hand-knitted ear-muffs and Q-tips on your birthday. Sound quality is fine through the supplied earbuds and simply impeccable with real headphones, with sharp video on the 320x240 screen that isn’t far behind. FM radio and voice recording showcase Sony’s determination to compete in the mobile arena and battery life is suitably long: nearly two days of audio on a single charge, and a full 17 hours even with the stereo speakers turned up to maximum annoyance level. The bad: - The previous S639 Walkman had ever-so-mature noise cancelling, executive time-saving on-the-go playlists and thoughtful podcast support. The S545 has tinny built-in speakers and an oversized screen instead, suggesting that Sony has given up on an adult audience and is wooing customers who are too young to buy this Walkman’s real competition – a mobile phone. Transcoding and loading vids can be a pain, too. Forget what the S545 isn’t – an advance on the excellent S639 – and concentrate on what it is: a top-notch audio and video player that happens to look a bit like a mobile phone. Just don’t use those speakers in public unless you enjoy being laughed at... or worse.

Zitat: We like: + Easy to use + support for multiple audio codecs + photos and videos look great on the big, bright screen + audio quality is superb + rated battery life is impressive + unit features external speakers and an alarm clock function + FM tuner and voice recorder work excellently We don´t like: - No longer offers noise cancellation - weakened podcast support - no SenseMe Channels or on-the-go playlists - getting video onto the device can be a hassle

Zitat: The good: + The Sony S-Series Walkman is very inexpensive and easy to use + it offers support for multiple audio codecs as well as subscription music and Amazon video + photos and videos look great on the big, bright screen + audio quality is superb and the rated battery life is impressive + the unit features external speakers and an alarm clock function + the FM tuner and voice recorder work excellently. The bad: - The Sony S-Series Walkman no longer offers noise cancellation or upgraded headphones - there´s no podcast support, SenseMe Channels, or on-the-go playlists - getting video onto the device can be a hassle. The Sony S-Series Walkman is a solid entry-level MP3 player thanks to its ultra-affordable price tag, easy-to-use design, excellent performance, and fair smattering of features--but those who are looking to upgrade from the previous generation will not be impressed.
