This is a nice player..but the problem is with bluetooth! It doesn't allow you to control volume on some speakers or devices and the equalizer settings won't work as well. I hope sony addresses this issue. Nevernind the propriety charging it doesn't bother me much. Just the limited bluetooth functionality! Come on sony please resolve this issue! This is my 2nd A series.

I brought this Sony Walkman about 1 months ago. It has many features and can play back at high resolution. The radio reception is very clear too. Sound is fantastic even playing back at MP3 quality. Highly recommended.

Okay, i have had this amazing player since last year, and as for getting the best experience out of this , you should experient with the custom equalizer that sony is generous enough to allow us to tweak the sound to our preference. I have found my best formula for this , and the sound i hear is just a perfect bliss

I purchased this dap player a couple of weeks ago. So far, pretty good. 1st thing is battery life-as advertised. It lasts a long time. Though Idk about the 45hr thing? But, it does last about 3days, before I have to charge. 2nd, it does play via bluetooth. As far as volume control. Pry some of the features, you wont notice. Like some the settings for sound, eq, surround etc. For some reason, it doesnt play various features via bluetooth earphones. But it will play it loud. Like, if you travel alot by airplane? A great device. 3rd, when you connect corded head phones to this? It will spring to life. All of the sound features are availible, and its magnificent. Great sound, and allegedly. It will last a little longer-(battery) 4th, Sd card, pending your Library. Works flawlessly. The A55, you can format on the device. Which is cool. Then its drag and drop. Playlists? you pry should make a list via pen an paper. Because you really cant tweek or alter song order from the device. To my knowledge. Ive played with it and doesnt seem to be able to. The radio feature? I have not tried. I dont plan to, unless I run out of my own downloads. Finally, it is alittle small. I wasnt prepared for tht havn came from an iphone 11 max. Overall? I think its a great device, if you just want to go off grid and just play your music. No social networking. No movies-video, no textn-phone calls. Just think of it as a mp3/dap player that has great sound, both corded and bluetooth. Ihope you wont be disappointed? Different likes and all. Good luck and stay safe. ColoDJ

This is a very capable player. There is no newer replacement model for this babe, not even the latest A100 series which is said to be replacement model for this player. Rich Feature that set normal DAP apart and ahead are: 1) Bluetooth receiver mode is used to receive signal from bluetooth audio source. Most players are Bluetooth Transmit mode which is used to pair bluethooth headphone. This feature set apart from A40 which lack of this feature. 2) and most of all, MP3 sound enhancement DSEE HX revives any old mp3 record I have. And best of all, it can use in co-operate with Bluetooth Receiver mode to playback and enhance mp3 playback with sound quality enhancement such as EQ, VPT etc. 3) USB DAC mode. This is the feature isn't available in the latest model A100 or replacement at the time of writing. Serve as a dedicated USB DAC device thru ASIO or its own driver to decode High Resolution format such as MQA, DSD, and PCM. Out of box support for Linux(Ubuntu) thru ASIO as least mine no problem (I use AIMP player with ASIO plugin Thru WINE). 4) VPT(Virtual Phone Technology) stimulate music listening environment such as Concert Hall, Matrix etc. Cons: 1) Active Bluetooth Transmission Mode disables all Sound Enhancement such as EQ, DSEE HX, VPT etc. 2) Noise cancelling headphone cannot purchase separately. 3) Unable to read .TXT and JPG file. 4) No pouch and lanyard provided.

I have had alot of audio players. This one is excellent. The construction is well thought out. The operation is smooth and usable. The audio and feature quality is perfect without being overdone and costly. Other players are too expensive or just plain junk. Sony has always made great gear that gets the job done for the right price. Cheers!

Just got this for my birthday after looking at it for over a year. It is so easy to use - very logical interface. The music sounds great, the database management system is the easiest I've ever used. Would definitely recommend
