5.0 out of 5 stars Great MP3 player..., April 30, 2007

By	Good Husband - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Although Sony has had alot of bad press lately, I took a chance with this MP3 player for my wife, since she likes pink. She ended up loving it and was very impressed by the great noise cancelling headphones. She uses them to jog around our noisy neighborhood. Not only are the headphones great, but the fm tuner is one of the best on the market. Even though its a Sony, it is still far more affordable than an ipod. Sony still makes a great product and we have been very happy with them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended MP3 Player!, March 26, 2008

By	KE SHEPHARD (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As this was my very first MP3 player, I did considerable research before making my selection. I wanted something reasonably-priced and easy to use, that looks and sounds good, and is suitable for use in the gym. The Sony NW-S705FP (2gb) fits the bill on all accounts.

Although it's now one of Sony's older models, I noticed it seemed to be holding its price in the market. However, I shopped around and managed to get a good deal on E-bay.

I was a bit wary of Sonic Stage, as I had read lots of negative comments, but luckily it all went very smoothly. I didn't have anything to compare it to, but found the instructions straightforward, and put on about 90 CD's with no problem. This took me about 4 hours, but I was selecting tracks within each CD, not just transferring the whole CD. I also downloaded and transferred some music from their Connect site, which was also easy to use. Their library of tunes didn't seem to be terribly comprehensive, and I couldn't find all the music I wanted, but I must admit I was looking for some rather obscure ones! (I understand that this music service is actually due to close on 31.03.08). Altogether, I have just over 700 tracks on the player, and just over 500mb of free space.

The controls are easy to use and the display is bright and clear (except in bright sunlight). Although there is no power button, when you press to stop a song, the display goes off automatically after a few seconds, and the player enters Sleep status. This is explained on Page 16 of the Quick Start Guide accompanying the device. The battery literally takes minutes to recharge, and lasts for several hours. It still had charge after a recent 10-hour plane journey.

The sound is extremely good, both from the recorded tracks and the FM radio, and the noise-cancelling headphones really do help to block out any ambient noise: on the plane, bus, train, walking along the road, working out in the gym, anywhere. I also bought the Sony clip (CLPNWS700), which is especially handy for the gym.

All in all, a very practical device with good quality sound. And very cute in metallic pink!

4.0 out of 5 stars Effective Player, November 5, 2007

By	J. C. Dias (Ft Meade, MD) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Have had the NW-S705FP for over a year and it is THE perfect device for the gym. Another reviewer wondered about the "short cord" for the earphones and the cord is just right when you wear this player on a lanyard (light just came on somewhere). The controls are easy to use (IF you bother to read the instructions for just 5 minutes) and the battery life gets me through an entire week of workouts (2 hours a day/five days a week); the FM Radio makes it the best 2GB player out there.
