I have owned many of the high end tape and cd players sony has offered,
including the most recent ultrathin DNE20 cd player, a mini-disk player
and the original silver-blue metal walkman.
The sound quality on the E series player is exceptional, qualitatively
exceeding all previous offerings. Listening to a good recording of,
say, classical piano music, you may get the impression that the piano
is in the room, and even be able to make out some level of structure
( for instance, how far away the piano was during recording ).
The user interface is self explanatory and very adequate for listening
to cd’s. If you have a pc with the right windows operating system
and media player, it is easy to transfer disks to the player using the
few printed instructions that come in the box.
The actual execution of transfer still has some problems : If your disk
was sold by a distributor not linked to microsoft’s ( proprietary? )
database, you may find that the cover photo and track titles have been
replaced by the closest thing microsoft can find in its online database.
Although I could type in the right titles myself, I couldn’t find a
simple way to insert the right cover photo and occasionally ( once or
twice ) cover photos did not get transferred into the player.
On the other hand, windows media player is supposed to ‘rip’ the whole
content of the cd, which does appear to get transferred into the player.
This, along with the onboard 5-channel equalizer may account for the
difference in sound quality compared with the ipod.
If your main interest is listening to music, and have regular access to
a windows pc, the E-344 is very well worth the ~$75. Sony also offers to
replace the player after 2 or 3 years for an up-front payment of ~$11
( 2 years ).
The E-series walkman has really good sound quality, long battery life, easy to use UI and classy look all combined. Also, it is a really open system (specially considering it is from Sony): A. simple drag-and-drop is all that is required to transfer music (though you can create a traditional sync partnership with Windows Media Player 11 if you want to) — not having to deal with a bloatware like iTunes is pure bliss; B. no special port/sync/charging cable — the player has a mini-USB port, and a (supplied) mini-USB to USB cable does sync and recharging the battery. Only one gripe: there is no way to create on-the-go playlists from the walkman; you must create the playlists beforehand in Windows Media Player and sync. Oh, and the 2″ LCD screen is bright and has nice contrast.
