MP3.com: Features - Sony Walkman NW-A1000 Import Review:
MP3.com
It's rare that we mention bundled earphones at all, but the Sony MDR-E0931 'phones are a comfortable affair that delivers the lows with aplomb, though we felt they tended to muffle the highs and mids, resulting in slight distortion. The response of the NW-A1000's hard drive was less than ideal. We experienced varying lag times of 2 to 3 seconds while trying to move from one menu to another.
In addition to looking good, the device generally is easy to use. The audio is crisp and the video elements is precise and clear.
