REVIEW

The $200 Sony NWZ-S718F, one of the latest additions to the Walkman line of portable media players, looks similar to the previous round of Walkmans. Ostensibly, this compact 8GB player's major selling point is integrated noise cancellation. Sony takes a commendable stab at noise cancellation here, but it's nowhere near as strong as with, say, Bose's Quiet Comfort 3 headphones. In addition, the circuitry works solely with the included earphones.

Bottom Line

The NWZ-S718F offers fairly effective built-in noise reduction, and although the user interface is a bit drab and file support could be improved, it's a better-than-average PMP.

Pros

Compact design. Screen is sharp and bright. Excellent sound quality. Built-in noise cancellation. Customizable EQ. Earphones are better than the bundled earbuds of most players.

Cons

User interface is dull. Cluttered with buttons. Mediocre video file support. Noise reduction works only with the included earphones.
