CNET Review
The Good: The Sony NWZ-A720 Walkman MP3 player series offers high-quality music, photo, and video playback, along with EX-style earphones and a phenomenal battery life.
The Bad: The Sony NWZ-A720 series doesn't come cheap, and it lacks an FM radio, voice recording, memory expansion, and a standard USB connection.
The Bottom Line: The Sony NWZ-A720 is the best-sounding, best-looking Walkman series yet, and the inclusion of premium earphones adds real value.

Review Summary: The Sony NWZ-A727 may not have the most impressive specs but for extraordinary sound at an affordable price, it's the one to own.
The Verdict: If it is for wide audio support, touchscreen and storage, the A726 won’t have that, but if you're looking out for top-quality audio playback at an affordable price, the Sony is the right one for you.

Review Summary: Sony products have always been objects of wonder for us, and we follow the company's development pretty closely. For a company that's kept away from unnecessary hype (read: Apple and the bumchums), it does come out with enough products to keep the...
The Verdict: The video player supports only AVC (H.264/AVC), AAC-LC, and MPEG-4. In most cases you'll need to run your videos through the conversion software before you transfer. The performance is good though; it supports 30 FPS. There were no visible framing...
