Sony NW-S705F (2GB) Reviewed

Sony-NW-S705F.jpg

The Sony NW-S705F (2GB) MP3 Player has been reviewed by CNET Asia. 'Sony's new Walkman effort is sheer elegance. The unit's shiny and reflective veneer is well complemented by a classy user interface fronted by a color OLED display which unfortunately, is faint under sunlight. Despite the cramped dimensions, the three-line display is very well-utilized for toggling between tracks and albums and includes some space for album art. Users can turn the rotating dial to navigate the menu and swap between track and album view by sliding the dial along a horizontal axis.

At 87.2 x 27.4 x 16.8mm with a sturdy 47g frame, the Walkman is fairly petite but pretty heavy when compared with MP3 players of the same build. For a good comparison, the older NW-E005 at 25g is almost half the weight of the NW-S705F. The buttons are well-laid-out except for the inaccessible Play Mode/Sound button on the rear.'
