I was looking at this but settled on the HiBy R6 III. It's a bigger screen, has the Snapdragon 665 chip making the DAP really responsive, has android 12, 64gb of storage and 4 gb of ram, bluetooth 5.2 and slew of other features for 100 bucks more than the Sony. Plus it sounds awesome! I love it!

This is what i really hate about android DAPs, bloated apps and consumes quite more battery than my Sony Walkman A55. My DAP could last weeks with daily listening of 5 hours. I hope they still produce better product but without android OS.

I just need a bright yellow, retro silver, or red one. Come on.

Just bought one, will be using with a LINUX based laptop to transfer my MP3s - we'll see how it goes.

My only question is Can I download the Hallow prayer app? It is the only app I need but no reviews Tell me what apps I can download

[amrlazn]

love this review!!! thinking of buying one. thanks so much!!

2:45 What app is that? Can you use it to sync your music with the Walkman?

[Cyrisus]

I believe device manufacturers are contractually required to add the GSuite host of apps if they wish to have access to the Google Play store... Its dumb but it is the way it is.

[chevymusclecar]

can you do a versus with Ipod classic?

Best IEMs for this unit? Looking for a solid all arounder... I don't think the Sony warrants super high end iems. My ideal (simplified) profile would be warm, full and resolute. Would love a few suggestions. Over looked at moondrop, Dunu, Aful, Sennheiser and even truthear hexa... Heck I've looked at KZ. Thank you for your videos!

Hello, due to you owned 55 and 306 i have a few questions to ask,

Does 306 and 55 sound is different? Can you tell any differences ?

On 306 after disabling apps you dont want will battery last longer ? Disabling google apps will also means no background functions will be on?

Have you deleted apps you havent used? There is some tutorial how to do it but not sure if that works due to tutorial is for nwa55.

Thanks

Whenever Tugg uploads a video, my blood pressure starts rising out of nowhere. Like a 6th sense

Hii what is the difference between listening to music with this device or a smartphone?

[Zenstone]

Nice review but it would be great if you could tell what audio features are available on bluetooth

[arifkizilay]

hi, could you compare NW-A306 with nwz 707? thank you

[felervega]

Una pregunta, los a306 producidos en Japón tiene la aplicación para usarlos en otro idioma como el español ? O solo viene para usas en japonés?

[stripervince]

Does this one have wifi? Can it play videos and store photos?

[krishanjagtiani]

Thanks for the great review. Can I use this walkman to stream via bluetooth to jbl party speaker? Objective is to get loss less audio unlike when I stream from mobile phone. Will using the walkman make a quality difference?

[undergroundterrorist]

Thanx for the video!

I was wondering: I dont need all the apps, only bluetooth, a lot of GB storage and easy to access folders where I put MP3 files in.

I dont like streaming, is it worth to buy only for the things I mentioned above?

Thanx!
