I had the previous model for two years but accidentally got water on it. I can tell you one thing for sure: the battery life of this device is NOT GOOD than the previous one. A full charge lasts a maximum of 3+ hours. While the version before that lasted more like 12-16 hours. Not good. UPDATE: I bought this on 09/22/2017, now on 07/22/2018 I am buying a new MP3 player. The device will not hold a decent charge; after 2 hours of normal use, the power goes out. Then, after it's been off for a while, it'll turn itself back on with a full battery - apparently buggy and just plain weird. PLUS, the biggest disappointment in this version is the extreme "sensitivity" of the keypad, it changes everything with a light tap or touch of the keys, which is very annoying; The previous version of the Sony Walkman MP3 was NOT as sensitive. It's just a bad product. Please save your money and LISTEN to reviews of these products. If he has low stars, it's not just that. Good luck
