The Sony NWZ-S639 MP3 player may look like a mobile phone, but it most certainly is not, with all efforts being plugged into the Walkman side of things. It is quite large compared to most MP3 players out these today and even compared to some of Sony's other ranges. The Apple iPhone Touch is a good old size though and we don;t hear many complaints about that one. A 2" screen dominates the front of the player with controls below it. There is also a volume control on the side and a hold switch. A metallic finish completes the look with a red Walkman logo for a splash of colour. The thinnest MP3 walkman ever too, so it can go everywhere with you without a hassle.
 
Features
The Sony NWZ-S639F has four audio technologies which work together to ' create a pure sound true to the original source' as Sony state and along with a Dynamic Normaliser sound is kept even as this balances the volume level between songs. SensMe technology is in there which organises music into moods at the touch of a button and an FM radio for more music choice. There is 16GB of internal memory which will hold around 4000 music tracks or 60 hours of video playback and an great battery life of upto 40 hours. The Sony S639F supports most popular audio and video formats such as AAC, WMA, AVC, MP4 and JPEG and with Sony's simple drag and drop system on board its so easy to upload content from iTunes or BBC iPlayer.
Performance
We love the fact that this, like all of Sony's MP3 Players, is soooooo simple to use. The menu interface is very easy to navigate and the drag and drop system could be used by a 5 year old with no bother. The design is great with a minimal weight and size its is very portable and will very easily slip into your bag or pocket. Sound is obviously one of the most important factors and the Sony S639F really doesn't let you down. The sound is superb and absolutely crystal clear.
Overall Opinion
The Sony NWZ-S639F Walkman MP3 player is fantastic value for money and gives a flawless performance with complete ease. A total winner.
