The size is excellent and fits well in my pocket. It feels sturdy in my hand and is far superior to the iPod. My husband has had 2 iPods and they both lasted about 1 year and died. Even towards the 10month period the battery life of the iPods was of 2h. The Sony still has an excellent battery life even after 2 years.

I can't recommend this little mp3 enough it is a first class piece of kit for what it is intended to do. I have heard numerous mp3 players from all the top makers but nothing comes close on sound quality to match this player. Make sure you spend out on a really good pair of phones either Bose triport or B&O's small earphones, as they really do bring out the sound quality of this player. I hope this help when looking to buy this mp3 player.

Overall, the Sony NW-HD3 MP3 player is a great product, especially for the value. It's perfect for those people who want to have music on their MP3 players. It especially suits musicians, being one myself, with a really tight budget and an absence for the desire of fancy color screens and video, it fit the bill perfectly. Just make sure you are careful with the connector and buy some more comfortable earbuds; it'll be worth it.

I absolutely love the Sony NW-HD3 MP3 player! When I wanted an MP3 player early this year, my friend steered me away from iPod's, and rightly so! This was, and still is one of the best MP3 players out there! Great value for money! I have already persuaded my friend to get this model, and my dad to get my mum one for Christmas (I don't work for Sony honest).

I am going backpacking next summer, and I really wanted one that could store all my music, has a long battery life, and is easy to charge. This is perfect! I also use it with a tape adapter in my car.

Buy the Sony NW-HD3 ! Better than an ipod!! More music on it! Longer battery life! Looks different! Choice of colours! Lightweight!
