Sony NW E-series is the latest MP3 player from Sony. It comes with 3 identical models with different on memory capacity : 1GB (NW-E013), 2GB (NW-E015) and the 4GB (NW-E016) models. This MP3 Player is a good choice with support for a wide range of audio formats, three-line colour dot-matrix screen and glossy finish stylish design. This MP3 Player appearance is like regular USB drive and available in several colours ( pink, blue, gold, violet, black ), and also the solid build quality makes the MP3 Player strong and doesn’t feel like it would broken if dropped accidentally.



The three line colour display is nicely implemented and looks like it floats below the surface of the player’s casing. Song and artist info is displayed alongside colour album art, though art is restricted to a space less than 10mm by 10mm.
The main menu uses the whole screen to display five larger option icons. These can be cycled through using the forward and back buttons. There’s a slight lag when navigating all menus, but apart from that, navigating the player is intuitive and pleasant. The E Series has a search feature but it simply allows you to scroll through alphabetical lists of artists, albums, songs, genres or album release dates, much like a traditional browsing system in any other MP3 player.

Controls are a little fiddly, but only as a result of being stuck on a player of this size. There’s also a cap covered USB plug, very handy if you use multiple computers to add music, but Sony still won’t allow drag and drop media on to its players.

Sound quality on the Sony NW E-series MP3 player is excellent, with great reproduction throughout a range of genres, including dance, country, rock and classical. Various equaliser modes are available, with several presets that will throw your music into an arena, a studio or into a live environment. These can be used alongside the VPT (Virtualphones Technology) functions, which aim to produce a more three-dimensional, natural sound reproduction. The ‘Clear Stereo’ enhancement built into these players is very effective, predominantly enhancing mid-range frequencies.

Sony has always been strong with the battery performance of its music players. It will charge through the USB PC port, and you’ll get three hours playback from a three minute charge and up to 30 hours playback from approximately 1 hour full charge.
