Sony NWZ-B172F 2 GB MP3 Player

Proud of this Gizmo....I own it,I flaunt it......and what not.
Amazing buy buddies...I own the Gold edition.
when its sony, you dont have to think over the sound....its like a dolby digital crescendo going in your ears. the sound headphones are very robust....the clip works fine and is detachable.

Plug and Play device...charges in an hour and supports upto 6 hrs. I train with this in the morning and I charge it once a week.

A Skull Candy Headphone or a Bose one will boost its performance.
The USB works cool.
Flipkart Delivers it within a couple of days.

But repeated use of the USB makes the USB cap a bit loose albeit it hardly falls off....Amazing Buy

Cheers

Sound Quality: I would rate it 3.5/ 5- Its clear, bass is less (in-spite of using the bass button bass is less to my taste)

File Transfer: 5/5 Fast take 10 seconds to transfer 5 odd songs

Navigation: 2/5- Very frustrating and the person will have to get used to it, feels like that cheap sort of wheel will pop out in hands (one has to rotate that wheel for entire navigation)

Recording: 4/5- Excellent quality recording both FM & Voice

Ear Phones- Stock ear phones suck, can buy Sony Headphones MDR-EX60LP from Flipkart (990 bucks)or some other ones, stock ear phones are neither good nor comfortable to say the least

Overall- 3.75/5- The product is slightly overpriced (so is with all SONY products, however this one performs above average on critical aspects considered before buying such product

I was very much confused between the Sony Mp3 Player and Apple Shuffle. The price for Apple Shuffle is 3200/ while Sony costs you 2990/ Rupees. Only some 200 rupees difference. Price does not matter in this case but the Mp3 Player should be a good one. After so many research and reviews finally I decided to purchase Sony Mp3 Player and placed an order on 2nd July and got it delivered in 3rd July.
Before describing this product let me Thanks to Flipkart for its awesome service.

I compared between Sony and Apple and conclude with Sony because of its extra features.

Extra Features:
3 Min Charge. (Very Useful)
Bass (With ON or OFF: Useful for Me)
FM (Sometimes)
Recording (Sometimes)
Zappin (Useful)

I got the Mp3 Player and tested for one hour. I am happy with the product and the earphone quality is very good. I have done a good choice by selecting this MP3 player. The apple is only for show off.

I got this gadget yesterday and i am enjoying its excellent sound quality which is miles ahead of iPod shuffle. The bass is very strong and each and every sound especially the guitar strings and cymbals appear to be playing in real life. I have been listening to my favourite songs in my lappy with a logitech earphone but now i rediscovered those songs again, just like the difference between watching a cricket match on cable TV v/s watching it on an HD channel.. Thanks to the crispness and amazing stereo widening of this music player.

The build quality is good and the keys are highly responsive. The FM and voice recorder is an add on (since the sound quality overshadows them all). But yes, the earphones supplied are not the best. Since i carry a noise isolating logitech 200vi, it works GREAT. For less than 3k, this is an unbeatable product.

And i know this review still din’t make sense to Apple fanboys... :)

I got this player about 4 months ago from Chandigarh and I can conclude after a lot of internet surfing and window shopping for over 2 months that this is far better than all the mp3 players in the same price league. A quick glimpse to the pros and cons of this product:

Pros:
Flashing led lights
Excellent sound quality
Ease of transferring files (unlike iPod, for which you need to install iTunes)
Marvelous battery backup (upto 12 hours with bass and 15 without)
Fm radio
Voice and fm recording
Beautiful colours (I own a pink one)
3 minute quick charge

Cons:
After sometimes the USB cap becomes a bit loose
The earphones could have been better
The product is vulnerable to scratches
The screen is a bit small
(but keeping the price in view, it is obvious that you cannot get all the features)

To conclude I can say that you must buy this product if you want to buy a decent mp3 player. And it's from a brand like Sony....er...that's an explanation in itself. So go for this product, I am sure you will be satisfied, as I am. :)
