Bottom line If you’re in the market for a diminutive MP3 player, the Sony Walkman NWZ-A866 is a solid choice. Bluetooth, FM radio and the excellent screen for video viewing make it an unobtrusive but nattily-featured portable entertainer...

Review date: 02 December, 2011. Review by: IT Reviews Staff If a handheld device wants to be taken seriously, it usually has to do much more than its primary task. Why bother carrying a phone, camera, MP3 player, satnav, ebook reader, games console an...
Good Excels for music playback; excellent headphones...
Bad Expensive; not a multitasker.
Bottom line It's hard to imagine a more elegant MP3 player, and the A866 beats the iPod Touch for sound quality and fuss-free music transfers. However, Sony is making a bold statement by charging just as much as the 32GB iPod touch - and we're not completely convi...

Sony's NWZ-A866 is a cross between an MP3 player and a portable media player. It features a reasonable screen that measures in at 2.8 inches - sitting between both form factors - and is a great quality piece of kit. The goodFor a start, the Sony NWZ-A8...
Good For a start, the Sony NWZ-A866 sounds better than its Apple rival. Most of this is because of the earphones, and although they're not the best in-ear solutions we've tried, they're much better than those bundled with MP3 players, and easily good enough to live with while you save up the pennies. Another way the Sony betters Apple's iPod Touch, and indeed lots of older Sony MP3 players, is the fac...
Bad The biggest problem with the NWZ-A866 is its small screen and price. Costing the same as an iPod Touch, we were hoping it would have a broader range of abilities. It misses out on some vital audio codecs – so you may have to change the formats in your existing music collection – and the compact screen stops it from being the perfect media player.
Bottom line The Sony NWZ-A866 is a neat solution, and looks great. It's not quite the portable media player we were hoping for, however, with the iPod Touch – and even most smartphones – proving better options when it comes to video playback. If you just want a ga...

Bottom line The Sony NWZ-A866 is an extremely likeable device. It looks and feels great, offers an interface slicker than just about everything but an iPod Touch, and packs-in more quirky features than any other MP3 player we've tested of late. It sounds good too...
