Best MP3 Players - 1 to 3 oz. Weight, Headphone Jack Outputs, AAC Audio Format

'Slim design with larger screen.'

'The bundled headphones do a capable job of rendering FM-quality broadcasts but fall a little flat when it comes to high-quality audio files, and still struggle with sounds at either extremes -- rolling, deep bass or high trebles came out a little squidgy for our tastes.'

'I plugged several pairs of headphones into the new nano and I was as pleased as ever with the sound, playing MP3, AAC, and AIFF files.'

'The FM radio and JPEG photo viewer found on the NWZ-S710F are nothing special, but both are easy to use and add value to the device.'

'In PC World Test Center audio tests, it netted a signal-to-noise ratio score of 82 decibels--just a shade below the latest iPods and the top-ranked Creative Zen X-Fi --as well as a barely registering harmonic distortion and noise level of 0.01 percent. '

'Even without any of the whiz-bang options or noise-cancelling activated, music is full-bodied and vibrant. '

'MPEG-4 and WMV videos are playable as well.'
