5. Sony Walkman NWZ-S716

5. Sony Walkman NWZ-S716

Editors' rating: 8.3

The good: The unassuming Sony NWZ-S710F series of Walkman MP3 players deliver a perfect storm of on-the-go features, including music, photo, and video playback; FM radio; subscription music support; remarkable battery life; heavenly sound quality; and a feat only Sony could pull off: active noise-canceling in-ear headphones.

The bad: The NWZ-S710F lacks memory expansion, voice recording, or integrated podcast management, and if you lose the bundled headphones, you'll lose the Walkman's noise-cancellation capability as well. Sony's proprietary USB cable can be a headache to replace if lost.

The bottom line: The sum of the NWZ-S710F's audio enhancement and noise-canceling features adds up to one of the most pleasant and private music experiences you can have for less than $200.
