Operating Instruction
Operating instructions that came with the Walkman are not worth the paper they are written on.

part of my venture into digitizing my cd collection
I bought this to be a portable piece of my project to digitize my CD collection into a hi-res library of music for travel. I have never had an MP3 player or even streaming services. So as an "old school" chick trying to navigate the new storing and play-back technologies, this so far has worked very well and has been pretty easy to navigate. Just used it on a 5 plus hour automobile trip and it was WONDERFUL to have a diversity of music (holiday and non-holiday) on shuffle and enjoy the tunes. That was only 70 or so CD's ....Only a couple hundred more to add.... :-) Plenty of space so far on the 256 microSD card.

compact design
The design is very compact, works well, the side buttons are a must for big fingers. Software takes a bit to get used to, but works well and is not as glitchy as some other brands are. Sound quality is good.

First time owning a Walkman - Impressed!
Once you start listening to uncompressed audio - I guarantee you, you cannot go back. The battery life can be extended to three days in stand-by with proper OS tweaking (e.g., turning off location settings and etc). I have a 256GB microSD and mainly keep contents locally using Tidal.

Just Not For Me
I wanted so bad for this device to work. My iPod Touch started to give me problems after about three years of use so I wanted to find something non-Apple to use, and since I love the Sony brand, I thought I would give these a try. First, I would like to point out that there are no really good sync solutions to use if you are on a Mac. That being said, I ended up using my Surface Pro 7 to manage the music that I would install on this device and it was really just so hard to get used to. The other issue is that it gets HOT!!!!! Not just warm, but hot enough that I could probably iron a shirt. Okay, I may be exaggerating just a little, but it does get hot. Now, I am very electronic savvy and I always have the latest gadgets, so I have used many different devices and for this to be so non-user friendly, was very disappointing. The other issue is that I have a 2019 Cadillac XT5 which I can connect any bluetooth device to. Well that was before I tried the Sony NWA-105. it connected and the sound was low and horrible. Here is my overall issue. In a day where technology is plentiful and there are more devices than you can name, I think Sony missed the boat with this one. I have read some reviews of people who absolutely love this device and some that have been middle of the road, but having owned every Apple device known to man, there is a reason why they are leading the market. Which is why I wanted this to work so badly. Very disappointing. Yes, I did send it back.

Very good sound, very good product, but expensive
Pros: Great sound, portable, good UI, Android allows to use Spotify and other apps; equalizer applies to walkman as well as applications (Spotify, Youtube, etc, which is AMAZING).
Cons: Battery life is not the greatest even after system update (in fact I think the 2nd update reduced the battery life vs the 1st update); a 10-Band equalizer (or even more bands, or parametric EQ, to tweak the bass region) would be great, maybe in a future update? A more powerful amp would make it more versatile and beat the competition. The price, at time of purchase (but seems to have decreased since then).
