will post a few comments of course. can only compare it to a new ipod video atm, maybe a samsung too. cant wait to get it. To be honest, store price of $499aud for 8gb is over priced, yes the quality might be good, and the headphones worth over $100aud, should be round the $330aud mark in store.

i have no idea why i bought this thing impulse buy i guess. i never planned to use an mp3 player, only my phone. i started reading some headphone/mp3 player forums looking for headphone reccommendations for my phone, and they have got me wanting one. guess its like what Esato done to me with phone bad for the wallet.

Hmm... It may have been an impulse buy, but at the price you got it for, I don't think you'll regret buying it later. Besides, if it's as good as the other Sony mp3 players I've had, I think you'll have a great time using it.

@scott
i hear the zune isnt bad either but it seems more people are happy with this sony, and sony in general.
Ive been reading plenty of reviews on it, and reading forums such as Head-Fi, Atrac Forum etc. Doesnt seem to be many negatives with the nw-a808.

Although the zune has a bigger capacity (8gb is enough for me though tbh) its size puts me off. Id rather a smaller more compact player, and of course im willing to sacraifice a few gb's. Hence my decision for the sony. And its equaliser is fully customisable!

And of course, Sony is believed to have had the best sound quality for quite some time now, from their music products ive used, i dont doubt that for a minute.

I hope i get this tomorrow, tuesday at latest, will post a little review on it then. Ill have the stock headphones too try, so can test it as a standard player out of the box, and have my jays d-jays coming too, so quality should be a bit different with them too. Better than the stocks i hope.

so have i scotty i will sell them on i think, well, if i like them i wont. But 'usually' better headphones = better sound. depends on which headphones though of course.

which colour were you looking at scott?

White all the way

Really tempted by a Zune tbh and they can be had for around £140 brand new...... My mates got one and they really are good just the design is a bit unimaginative.... Whereas the Sony really does look something
