The Sony S544 8GB Walkman Video MP3 Player - A Thorough Review

By Daniel Greer


These days, there is an even wider selection of MP3 players than even two or three years ago. A great example of a high quality model that you can find, along with an economical price tag is the Sony S544 8GB Walkman Video MP3 Player. If you don't want to pay several hundred dollars for an MP3 player, but still want one that has a wide range of functions such as video, this may be just what you're looking for. You will gain some useful knowledge in this review, about MP3 players.

On the plus side, a great feature of this MP3 player is the high quality of its sound. Most portable devices don't give you very good sound unless you have a good pair of headphones or you connect them to a separate set of speakers.

This model, however, has decent built-in speakers, which allows you to listen without headphones if you want. If you want to listen to your favorite music or watch videos, you'll find that the sound is deep and clear without much distortion. Most folks like to use their MP3 players to listen to music wherever they may be. The inclusion of high-quality speakers was a wise move on the part of Sony. The Sony S544 8GB Walkman Video Mp3 Player will let you do all sorts of neat things that other mp3 players will not let you do. This mp3 player doesn't just play music, the radio and videos, it lets you record as well. This is something that can be very useful if you want to record information at a meeting or lecture. You can use it to record memos to yourself instead of trying to keep track of a notepad or pen and paper. If you get a good idea that you don't want to forget, you can record it immediately. You can also record songs that you are listening to on the radio. With this feature alone, you can see just how hard Sony has thought about this mp3 player.

The original Sony Walkman isn't as popular as it once was; however, it's still a product you can buy today. Originally, it consisted of a radio and either a tape player or a CD player that you could use with a head set. This new MP3 Player, when compared to the original that was first manufactured in the 1980s,shows how well Sony has kept up to date with modern technology. Sony is cutting a place for itself in the MP3 market with the introduction of this S544 8GB Video MP3 Player. You can pay more than the low cost of around $100 for another player but, odds are, it won't have as many features as this MP3 player which offers you more than many more expensive models.

Another thing Sony didn't do was make this MP3 player compatible with Mac computers. My guess is that they assumed most Mac users would simply use their iPods instead. You need to make an effort to keep your screen protected also. As with most MP3 players, the screen is easy to scratch. The Sony S544 8GB Walkman Video Mp3 Player is part of a new generation of players that will give you quite a lot of features at not a high price. It isn't for everybody; Mac users, for example, won't be able to sync the player with their computers. When you use a PC, however, the Sony model has quite a lot going for it.
