Review on MP3 Player Sony NWZ-E430F by Avut Lapnan ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like everything, the price and the quality are both ok.

A good, high-quality player, although it belongs to the budget category, as indicated by the letter E in its name. I bought this after a broken 4th generation iPod, and it's no exaggeration to say that Sony's player sounds just as good, if not better, when you consider the manual EQ included in the player, which allows you to achieve exactly the sound you need.

Pros
  • In terms of design: small, flat, coloring pleases (I have pink, I'm still not overjoyed). In terms of workmanship: a good smooth case with metal edging, comfortable control keys, a large clean screen, menu fonts are large enough and well perceived, the menu itself is in dark colors, so the screen does not hurt the eyes with brightness. In terms of sound: good sound - although a lot depends on the headphones, here the player sounds decent even with the simplest headphones. I was pleased with the presence of a manual equalizer - although it is a 5-band, but with its help you can easily achieve the desired sound of your favorite music. The player has an FM radio, which pleases me personally. Now there has been a tendency not to put the radio in the player, and this trend is alien and incomprehensible to me. From the little things: an interesting clock that appears as a screensaver (can be turned off). You can switch from the Radio window to the music playback window without first jumping through the menu. In general, while playing music with one button, a menu is called up, where the clock, and the equalizer, and other functions - thus, a quick access is organized. Important!: long battery life. It charges for about 3 hours, after that it works and works . Believe me - a very valuable quality for modern players.
Cons
  • The included earphones are, unfortunately, quite cheap even to the touch. You can listen to music in them, but it is better to change to some more expensive and better ones. The player requires the installation of a special program for transferring files Media Manager (probably, this feature is borrowed from the Apple iPod - a bad example is always contagious), you still need to get used to it. The backlight of the display is on for about 30 seconds, which is not good, and you can’t change it in any way. It is also impossible to record the music you like from the radio, which is also a minus and incomprehensible.

Has pros: An excellent player, the main thing: Li-ion BATTERY (lives 2 times longer than Li-Pol) and the charge lasts for a very long time. The sound is also good. With its cons. In use for 2.5 months, no shortcomings have been found yet (ugh 3 times). The HAMA charger is suitable for it for 400 (sold in MediaMakt).
