      Because it's smaller than a phone and easier to jog with?

      • Sage on 25/08/2016 - 03:39

        Cheaper to get some kind of strap for holding your phone to jog with.
        Should always have your phone in case of emergency, in my opinion.

      When I go for a run, my iPod shuffle, GPS watch, and drivers license in my back pocket combined are no where near the weight of something that might actually play music like a Lumia 530. I can't see why someone would run with a big phone strapped to their arm but I guess it's horses for courses.

      The annoying thing about phone is touch screen interface.

      Every time you want to FF/RW or skip a track, you have to pull it out, unlock the screen, then access the controls, then put it back in your pocket/armstrap.

      That's a lot of hassle as opposed to just pressing a button.

      • [Deactivated] on 28/08/2016 - 19:31

      Do they even give out coupons anymore?

      • unity1 on 25/08/2016 - 10:01

        No, but the ones that used to come with the cameras just kept working and working, but not any more.

        • DaTa on 25/08/2016 - 10:02

        • unity1 on 25/08/2016 - 10:05

    Good price for the walkman, I was recently comparing it to the iPod shuffle for a workout music player. Ended up buying the shuffle at the time as it was slightly cheaper with no sales but it has it's limitations. I would have been happy with the Walkman for this price! Hmmm I still have a mini disc player somewhere, most expensive music device ever!!

    Good find on the NWZA25HN Walkman units.

    I bought the previous generation model (NWZ-A15) from eGlobal for $220 delivered last year. If you don't want the yellow one, these might be worth considering.

    The A25's notable upgrades include:
    - comes bundled with noise cancelling earphones
    - supports new LDAC wireless protocol (The older one used aptX which was quite susceptible to interference, not sure about this new one)

    • homersyd on 25/08/2016 - 10:46
      +1

      how did u find the A15 stack up with the fiio (x1/x3)?

      • ihavok on 25/08/2016 - 11:12
        +2

        My time with the X1 and X3 was quite limited (only listened to these at an audio expo, with someone else's headphones and their lossless tracks).

        I feel the A15 had a warmer sound to it compared to the X1 and X3. I'd say the A15 was more 'fun' to listen to for casual listening. But I was really surprised with the clarity of the X1 given its price though - there was a lot of detail in the tracks that I wasn't expecting. I think it really depends on the style of music you listen to.

        There are a couple of good threads about the A15 vs X1 and X3:
        http://www.head-fi.org/t/784278/fiio-x3ii-vs-sony-nwz-a15-a1…
        http://www.head-fi.org/t/754386/sony-nwz-a15-vs-fiio-x1

        I picked the A15 because I also wanted it to work as a Bluetooth player while in the gym as well.

    • RayEarth2133 on 25/08/2016 - 10:48

      I don't think the $167 version comes with the earphones.

      • homersyd on 25/08/2016 - 10:57
        +1

        but it clearly said in the description it does… "High-Resolution Audio-compatible Walkman with bundled Noise Cancelling headphones."

    • Black Hole on 25/08/2016 - 11:18

      NWA25Y and not the HN unit. I doubt it bundled with the noise cancelling earphones.

  • ironworthy on 25/08/2016 - 10:36

    too bad the walkman's don't use a standard micro-usb connection

  • Herbse on 25/08/2016 - 10:40

    ive been sitting on my $25 e voucher. do they still work? i cant get mine to

  • Black Hole on 25/08/2016 - 10:52

    I have heard the NW-A25 does not come with noise cancellation headphone while the NW-A26 does. Is this true? The yellow model looks more like green to me. I am colour blind?

  • ievoi on 25/08/2016 - 10:52

    May seem like a dumb question, but is there a way to get Spotify to work with this? or maybe is there a way to sync spotify with windows media player so I can import the music (indirectly) from spotify to this player?

    • ihavok on 25/08/2016 - 11:22

      If you are referring to the NW-A25, the answer is no.

      Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the only Sony players that support this are the ones running Android (i.e. ZX2). It's in a different league though (RRP $1600)

      • ievoi on 25/08/2016 - 13:46

        I was referring to NWZB183FL (the $35 one). I think one of the way to upload music to it is via Windows Media Player, so if there is a way to sync WMP with spotify then I should be able to "Sync" my spotify with it right?

        • callum9999 on 25/08/2016 - 15:12

          There isn't a way

  • cheepwun on 25/08/2016 - 11:59
    +2

    Thought of getting the yellow model, then sense came over me.

    • It's doesn't appear to be special.
    • It doesn't have a removable battery (as far as I can tell). As it ages, you know what will happen there.
    • MicroSD is good, but Sony don't seem too proud to show off this fact (easily missed if not looking). Bad marketing.
    • the unit wastes precious space on those hideously large controls and then goes the opposite way with those small buttons next to the screen. Then tops it off with a small screen with laughable resolution.
    • Sound might be great (who knows) but so are my Sony Hi-MD players and Sony PCM recorder (and even Sony discman).

    Simply not worthwhile, in the end. Perhaps salvageable by the noise-cancelling headphones, but not for me.

    PS. Incidentally the way Sony lays out the data (specs) on its website is shamefully careless. The least I would have expected would be to have spaces between the file formats it supports. Instructions seem to be low-detail too. The old Sony seems to be well-and-truly gone. The 'B' model also basically has no proper sales info on the page. Shameful..

      I agreed with you here. I have managed to pick up a few mistakes in the detail. I have been in chat with Sony and the staff is uncertain whether the yellow model came with the included ear phone. I believe the HN version does.

      Cepeda G (25/08/2016, 11:39:39 am): Welcome to SONY Live Chat.
      Cepeda G (25/08/2016, 11:39:54 am): Good morning.
      Me (25/08/2016, 11:40:44 am): Hi.
      Cepeda G (25/08/2016, 11:40:47 am): I see here that you want to inquire if the Walkman comes with a Noise Cancelling Headphone.
      Cepeda G (25/08/2016, 11:41:03 am): Based on the website, there is a bundled Noise Cancelling Headphone.
      Me (25/08/2016, 11:42:14 am): Ok, that is reassuring.
      Cepeda G (25/08/2016, 11:42:31 am): Please hold on while I check for the bundled model.
      Me (25/08/2016, 11:42:38 am): Thanks.
      Cepeda G (25/08/2016, 11:44:07 am): Thank you for holding.
      Cepeda G (25/08/2016, 11:44:51 am): There is no specific model based on the specification but based on the manual on this link the compatible noise cancelling headphone is MDR-NW750N/MDR-NW750NE http://helpguide.sony.net/dmp/nwa20/v1/en/contents/TP0000999…
      Cepeda G (25/08/2016, 11:45:01 am): I will have to confirm this to our Sony Store.
      Cepeda G (25/08/2016, 11:45:12 am): And I will send you an email once I receive an update.
      Me (25/08/2016, 11:46:08 am): Ok, thanks.
      Cepeda G (25/08/2016, 11:46:27 am): You are welcome.
      Me (25/08/2016, 11:46:45 am): http://store.sony.com.au/NWA26HNB.html#start=1 what about this model. Does it come with the bundle ear phone, can you check for me as well.
      Me (25/08/2016, 11:46:53 am): I will wait for your email.
      Cepeda G (25/08/2016, 11:47:15 am): Yes it says on the website that it has a bundled Noise Cancelling headphones.
      Cepeda G (25/08/2016, 11:47:28 am): Are we all set?
      Me (25/08/2016, 11:51:01 am): YEs, thanks.

  • cowboydev on 25/08/2016 - 14:05

    That's probably the cheapest I have ever seen for a walkman, I just wish there's a 8GB version

  • belongsinforums on 25/08/2016 - 15:03

    I have the B series walkman. It's great for travel and exercise. Used to come with a clip which was really handy. Best thing is the quick charge feature. Also doubles as a usb drive. A hand powered wind up torch can charge it within a few minutes.

    The NWA25 does not come with headphones, by default, unless sony is offering them for free. The sound is great (I have the NWA26HN, bought for same price in Malaysia, 6 months back). Would definitely recommend it for Audiophiles. The best part is the microsd support. I have a few 200GB microsd cards which contain my entire collection.

      For something this size, would be nice if it had a clip.

      Definitely. And a MicroSD slot (and removable battery). I'd pay $150 for a small unit like this from Sony today. A nice small unit without a large screen that can be taken virtually anywhere and have its battery replaced or swapped when needed easily and isn't limited by this laughable amount of storage space. Bonus points if waterproof.

  • superb on 26/08/2016 - 10:03

    Does Sony provide a confirmation for the order? Paypal confirmation received.

      Would like to know that too, didn't get an email to sign up, didnt get one when I ordered and paid and now it's sitting as not shipped in "my orders" which is frustrating given they say it should ship same or next day if you order before 9am. That was last week!

  • Black Hole on 29/08/2016 - 20:13

    Got my NW-a26 today. The noise cancellation is excellent. I have tested it out in my open top roaster and I could only hear occasional wind noise flowing across my ears. I could not hear the other vehicles or engine noise. It was a very strange sensation or less of it. The included earphones is great. I could not hear my mechanic keyboard while I am typing this and listening the music.

  • schmuppet on 30/08/2016 - 15:34

      Didn't order one of those but the DAB radio.
      Never got any email confirmations at all, even after sign up as a member for the free shipping.
      Was charged on my CC the same day I ordered the item (Thurs), contacted them Monday (via online chat support) who didn't do anything but tell me to contact Ozbargain (because i made the stupid mistake of mentioning where i found the deal) and I didn't hear back from them, tried calling the Sony Kiosk to see who to call (if they could direct me or give me a number), that phone number rang out.
      Called the support line Tuesday and got hold of someone who created an online ticket for me, said the store is awaiting confirmation of payment (already paid) and would get back to me.
      I provided CC statement line and stuff to them and they are looking in to it.

      Over all I am quite displeased at the response times, turn around and lack of communication from such a name brand.
      Complete ball drop so far.

      • schmuppet on 31/08/2016 - 21:37

        Spoke to them today via Live Chat - I provided my order details which were then passed on to another team, was told I'd hear back in 48 hours. Pretty average experience so far.

        • 91rs on 02/09/2016 - 07:42

          72hs and no response from them, 8 days and no change in shipping or order status, still no email confirmations of anything.
          They claim to be waiting for the Sony Store to get back to them, the same store the phone rings out on maybe?
          Very poor form.

  • Matt2017 on 02/09/2016 - 12:57

    I too ordered a NWA25Y last Thursday and received no update on my order. I talked with their online support this morning and they informed me that my order has been placed under 'Back Order' due to availability of stock. When asked on an ETA for more stock they simply had no answer. So I kindly asked if they could possibly swap my particular model for another color that was in stock. The rep put the request through, but ultimately I would be notified on the approval of the request in the upcoming days.

    • Matt2017 on 05/09/2016 - 18:53

  • symo on 04/09/2016 - 15:52

    If anyone's interested in purchasing A25 Walkman. I just got a price match ($167) on a Black unit at the Parramatta (NSW) Kiosk. There is still 1 Black and 2 Pink units on display.

    Conversely, Chatswood Kiosk was happy to price match on any colour when I called them earlier this week. Track work prevented me going to Chatswood today!

  • schmuppet on 05/09/2016 - 12:47

    Has anyone had their NWA25Y delivered? Sony just emailed me (after I followed up twice) saying that it's discontinued and they're giving me a refund.

    • Matt2017 on 05/09/2016 - 18:54

      I talked with online support and asked if I could swap the yellow version for the black one that they had in stock. I just got the email saying my request was approved, so maybe you could try your luck with their online support.

      • schmuppet on 06/09/2016 - 19:28

        I tried and this is what I got…

        Hi XXXX,

        Thank you for your reply.

        Please be advised that for this particular order, we cannot change the item from A Series High-Resolution Audio 16GB Walkman (Yellow) Model: NWA25Y to A Series High-Resolution Audio 16GB Walkman (Black) Model: NWA25B or A Series High-Resolution Audio 16GB Walkman (Pink) Model: NWA25P.

        This is because of the difference of the selling price. NWA25Y selling price was $167.40 while NWA25B and NWA25P selling price is $279.00. Processed orders do not have a way to add payment for the amount difference.

        We hope you find this information useful. Should you have further query, feel free to contact Sony.

        Kind Regards,

        Josephine

    So two weeks after ordering my item has not moved from Not Shipped.
    Missed a call yesterday which turned in to an email saying
    "Our accounts team has detected fraudulent activity on this order that is why it was rejected. It appears the IP address of the computer used to make this transaction is not in Australia but overseas."

    It didn't show as rejected in their online system where I check my order, they also didn't contact me about this yet the charge is still on my credit card.
    They had not gotten back to me with anything useful in the last two weeks about this, I have been chasing it every second day.
    They have all my details etc and could have tried to contact me but didn't.

    Ordered while at work and we VPN through the USA which isn't that uncommon.

    This is honestly really shitty service from Sony, I am very disappointed.

  • Siuto on 13/09/2016 - 16:20

    I wasn't expecting this many people having the same issue. My 4GB Walkman hasn't been shipped yet and it's on back order. I have to ring them to find out. I expect better service from Sony. There's just not enough stock for a clearance sale.

  • 91rs on 15/09/2016 - 12:03

    22 days later still nothing. Worst customer service ever.
    Worst online purchase to date.

    Will avoid purchasing anything from them in the future.
