I've just lost my trusty Sony Walkman. Can't remember the exact model but was purchased around 3 years ago, mid-price range, silver with orange trim.
It was great. However, I've just added music for the first time to my iPhone 4 and I'd say the sound quality is better than the Sony.
I still want a separate, small. mp3 player though and my first instinct was to simply get another Sony, the 464 in fact which is only £60.
I am intrigued by the Nano, it looks good and would have novelty value. I'm no Apple fanboy but have the iPhone 4 and a Mac Book Pro ( would never go back to PC!) and they are quality pieces of kit.
Sound quality is my number one concern, which is best? I know Sony will win on battery life but not a huge issue. I don't like the Apple headphones so would need to replace with in ear bud types, an added expense onto the £115 Nano.
As an aside, which headphones up to say £20 ? Heard Skull Candy have good sound but don't last, true?
Good, high volume is a must to defeat the racket of the London Tube. Both my old Sony and the iPhone go far louder than I can tolerate but it's good to have power in reserve.
Thanks for any insights.
