'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. '
'Genius feature creates on-the-go playlists around a single song.'
'VoiceOver navigation.'
'maximum volume level'
'The controls on the device are fairly simple: a circular set of buttons allows you to move forward and backward between tracks (right and left), and increase and decrease the volume (top and bottom).'
'FM radio reception isn't great and connection of the Clip with Rhapsody was problematic.'
'The highest volume was more than we could stand.'
'Impressive sound quality'
'Like most budget MP3 players, sound quality from the included earphones is nothing to write home about, but at the very least, generous foam padding and light weight makes them comfortable to wear for long periods. '
'video delivery is colourful and sharp, though the arched screen – the edges of this unit are bevelled, which leads to four fairly sharp corners – attracts some reflection.'
'The output, however, is too powerful, especially when monitored through good earphones; and regardless of the earphones you're using, boosting the bass means distortion.
'
'The bass is taut, rich and deep while the mids have great details and are well-focused.'
