Amazon.com Product Description Enjoy superior sound wherever the day takes you with the pink NW-S703F Walkman MP3 player. The device boasts Sony's active noise-canceling technology, which reduces ambient noise within the 13.5 mm earphone drivers through a special phase-canceling process. As a result, you can listen to the NW-S703F in a host of noisy environments, from airplanes to bustling city buses. The MP3 player further improves the sound through its Clear Stereo and Clear Bass functions, which refine every note you hear by reducing audio leakage from one channel to another. The combined effect produces a crisp overall sound with an impressive dynamic range, deep bass performance, and minimal distortion.

Sony's active noise-canceling technology reduces ambient noise. View larger. The NW-S703F boasts 1 GB of built-in flash memory, enough for up to 685 of your favorite tracks. Listeners who already have extensive music libraries can use the included software and hardware to play back their collection of MP3s, while newer listeners will find plenty to like in Sony's ATRAC format, which provides higher sound quality while taking up less space on the flash memory. In addition, the NW-S703F supports the playback of WMA and AAC (non-DRM) audio files, a great feature if you have a large catalog of audio on your PC that was ripped from personal CDs. And as with all Sony MP3 players, the device is compatible with Sony's Connect Music store--one of the largest online music sellers. Navigation is straightforward thanks to the player's Jog Shuttle dial, which lets you easily scroll through tracks or playlists, and the rotating, three-line, color OEL display, which not only accommodates both right- and left-handed users, but also offers information about the music, settings, and even time and date in any lighting condition. The built-in FM tuner, meanwhile, delivers accurate, drift-free tuning of all your favorite FM stations, with 30 station presets making it a breeze to quickly switch from one favorite to another. And when it comes time to transfer data from your PC to the NW-S703F, simply connect the unit via the USB 2.0 interface (cable included). The NW-S703F comes with a copy of Sony's SonicStage music management software, which lets listeners manage their music, create playlists, burn CDs, import digital files, and easily transfer songs from one location to another. It's also a breeze to customize the sound, with a five-band equalizer that includes heavy, pop, jazz, custom, and manual modes. Additional features include Virtual Phone Technology (VPT), which converts the played music with a 3D sound processor to reproduce the acoustic effect of a studio, live house, club, or arena; direct encoding, which lets you record an analog audio signal directly from an audio player without using a PC; support for CD text and ID3 tagging; an internal lithium-ion battery that provides up to 50 hours of continuous playback; and a quick battery charge function that provides up to three hours of playback with a three-minute charge. The NW-S703F, which measures 3.43 by 1.07 by 0.58 inches (W x H x D), is backed by a 90-day warranty on labor and a one-year warranty on parts. What's in the Box

This review is from: Sony NW-S703F Noise-Canceling Walkman MP3 Player (Pink)
The Sony NW-S703F (Sony should really rethink naming their mp3 players)is a beautiful piece of hardware that boasts innovative noise canceling properties, great sound, and good looks. I was in the market for a flash player for exercising and I came upon a good deal on this particular player and I have been more than pleased with it. Here are some of the pros and cons of this flashy little device:
Pros
+ Innovative noise canceling function that really works! (note: noise activating function is only activated when using the proprietary headphones)
+ Great design and small size. The player resembles a futuristic looking lighter or a metallic pocketknife, its really eye catching and unique.
+ Excellent sound quality
+ Very intuitive to use
+ Cool graphical user interface and menu design, everything about this player looks modern and cool
+ Cool intelligent shuffle features, including Time Machine Shuffle (shuffles through songs from a particular year), My Favorite Shuffle, and Sports Shuffle (shuffles songs for a particular time span, say a ten minute jog. Sports shuffle also features a cool little animated jogging figure that even stops to drink water when you pause your music)
+ Jacket search - you can search through your music library by the album cover and it even plays a sample of the albums first song
+ Impressive battery life
Cons
- Sonic Stage software is not the most user friendly software to work with, but don't let the software prevent you from looking into this player, its not that bad.
- Proprietary; if you lose the headphones you lose the noise canceling capabilities. And like another reviewer stated these headphones will not work with any other mp3 player; this player will also not work with audible files, subscription music services, or netlibrary files, you pretty much either have to use your own music or buy music from Sony's Connect music store.
- Lack of accessories
All in all, I'm am more than pleased with my purchase and if you don't let the Sonic Stage software scare you away then you are in for a real treat, as this player boasts excellent sound quality, innovative noise canceling function, and a very eyecatching modern design. The pros definitely outweigh the cons. If you're looking for something different and eye catching than I suggest you give this player a go.....
This review is from: Sony NW-S703F Noise-Canceling Walkman MP3 Player (Pink)
The NW-700 series are a great bargain right now for people who want great quality in-ear noise blocking/canceling audio. The requirement that SonicStage software needs to be used to put files on the player is the absolute worst thing about this great hardware device. This is the one and only reason that this series of players is being sold out at 1/4 the retail price.
All of your music must be imported as or converted into Sony's ATRAC format by SonicStage. It will convert "most" .mp3 & .acc files that are not DRM protected. You can also ONLY purchase music from the Sony "Connect" download page - no iTunes or others...
