Review: BATTERY LIFE-30 MINUTES ONLY - Pros: - Purchased this item for only AED 866 in 2022. - Easy music transfer-just copy and paste. -Plays Hi-res music. -Supports External MicroSD card Cons: -Battery life- 30 minutes only. Needs to be plugged all the time. - 16 GB internal Storage is useless since the operating system alone uses 12 GB - Sony screens are not the most durable.. small screen bubble damage are unavoidanle. - touch screen is not great- you have to press twice sometimes - accessories/ covers are expensive and almost non-existent. - bluetooth connection to Sony earphones gets lost if you put this MP3 inside your pocket
Review: The Sony NW-A105 comes with a full Android operating software baked in, it works just like app-heavy Android smartphone. Which is exactly what I wanted to get away from when looking for an iPhone alternative with a dedicated music player. The hardware is very good. The quality of the sound is better than iPhone 14. We can add SD card to the player: we can substantially extend the storage. No need to buy expensive version with more internal storage. The supplied Music Centre software intended to manage the player content is not efficient. It was not possible to create playlist in a normal way: usually we select the tracks. drop it in the list folder. It is not working this way. A way to solve this issue: In iTunes artists are arranged as folders: using Windows Explorer I dropped the files made by iTunes in the SD card Music folder. Or in the internal storage Music folder. When playing ,select a folder you want (artist) from the playing menu, start the first track - it will play all tracks in artist folder , in the sequence made by iTunes. So, no need to create Playlist- arrange a folder, drop inside what you want. Seems Sony limited the charging current to be safer for the device, but it is taking long time to charge. Probably was possible to make the device with larger screen, larger battery, longer playing time. My fingers are normal, but still I need to be very careful how I hit the buttons. The larger screen should be better. As a music player it is really good. I tried with several different high end Hi-Res Audio headphones: works fine. Can adjust the volume and the sound is really good.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I want to connect to my home audio receiver.  Is wireless the only way to connect or can it be connected directly with an audio cable?**
A: I use a aux cable to connect it to my car stereo. The player has a 3.5 audio Jack, so I imagine if the cable your using fits that, it should work.

**Q: Hi, can it play Spotify? Thanks**
A: Yes.  It has android so you can download from the app store

**Q: Its the charger/ transfer cable included in the box ?Also how do you transfer your music from your computer to this device ? Needs a special software?**
A: There is a cable to charge. The same cable can be used to transfer files from computer to the device. Drag and drop

**Q: Has anyone successfully used a 1tb sd card with this unit?**
A: I considered it but then decided it was way more than I needed and didn't want to shell out $168 for a 1 TB card.  I got a 256 GB card and it works just fine.

*by B***T on 7 March 2022*

Hatte zuvor den FiiO X5 MK3, dieser ist nun in die Jahre gekommen, Android 5.x wurde auch elendiglich langsam. Der NW-A105 macht vieles besser, hat zwar keinen Balanced Ausgang für Kopfhörer, stört mich aber nicht, da der Unterschied nicht wirklich groß ist (zwischen Balanced in-Ear und normalen in-Ear kopfhörern). Klangmäßig kein Abstrich, daher volle Punktzahl. Bedienung und Haptik sehr gut, Sony-Kopfhörer sind dank LDAC im Vorteil. Einziger Nachteil, der Akku. Dieser hält vermutlich maximal 6 Stunden, dies könnte besser sein. Der Player wird beim Betrieb ziemlich warm, für die Wintermonate ideal. Die P/L bezieht sich auf den Aktionspreis vom Black Friday, für 200 € uneingeschränkt empfehlbar, eine gute Powerbank sollte man sich dazu auch gönnen, wenn man länger hören möchte, oder auf Reisen geht.
