Getting Started. The Sony NW-A55 is arguably the worst violator of what I consider misleading advertising in the music player genre. It's worth noting that this doesn't fully reflect the NW-A45, but we'll come back to that in this review. The 55 is touted as a high definition music player with a new design that delivers sound quality unprecedented in this market at this price point. Combining premium construction, this is the first Observation Marker. Construction: 4/10 The device is similar to the old iPod, except that 55 feels less durable. It's light, which can be a good thing, but so light that the device feels fragile. The SD card slot is a weak point, which definitely contributes to the weak feel of the design. The slot should be more reliable if the device does not have an IP rating. The buttons on the device feel redesigned, as do the plastic buttons and the really mismatched color swatches at the top and bottom. The screen itself has small gaps of varying sizes at the corners where it doesn't fit the space perfectly (this would probably be a negligible price, so obviously they've given up because this device cuts as many corners as possible). . After all, the device is simply out of place, with poor ergonomics. You definitely want a case that covers the buttons so you can hide the overall feel of this product. Next is Feature: 5/10 The unit performs about the same as my $20 Bluetooth FM transmitter in terms of raw performance. Worse in the software part, which is a later segment. It is stated that new techniques are used in the use of this device in order to offer the best possible sound quality on the market. Everything is OK. I noticed that it doesn't produce anything special compared to my Essential Phone, which I use as a backup MP3 player. I've wondered why and after doing some research I found that my phone and most flagships can deliver the same level of clarity when equipped with the right file. Software: 2/10 This part is ridiculous. The unit hung straight out of the box 2 times when trying to turn it on in the high quality settings menu. The interface was clunky, despite this being the more expensive and supposedly faster $70-45 version. I can only imagine how bad it is with his superiority. Unless they lied. But I won't make an allegation because it would be illegal for them to lie. Suffice it to say that with all the settings enabled, I hardly noticed any difference. A slight improvement over the standard but negligible compared to my MP3 player. And yes, I use $200+ headphones, so that's not a problem for me. My conclusions at the end of this experience are (TL;DR). This device doesn't give you enough improvement over $45 to justify $70. High-definition songs cost $25 per CD (on all the sites Sony picked for you). Many features are only available when using Sony headphones (see the trend?). Battery life is good but only depends on you being plugged in, the screen off and many settings disabled. But hey, at least it's easy to put music on your device.
