    Good, but not Top.

    The design is nice, the screen saver with the audio cassettes gives a retro look, although in the long run when you zap it can bother. In Bluetooth with the WF 1000XM4 SONY earbuds it works very well, nothing to say the quality is very acceptable.
    I listen to a lot of DSD files and so to get the best out of this quality I use a very sensitive pair of headphones, the SHURE SE846 gen1 and... In short, I thought that the update would have corrected the problem, but no. Overall, the Walkman is fine. Overall the Walkman is good, but not great ^^

    Exceptional sound quality

    - The NW-A306 incorporates a version of Android 12 that allows you to install streaming applications such as Spotify, Deezer, Tidal and Amazon Music. I've added a 256GB micro SD card to save Spotify and Deezer playlists and keep them offline.
    - Excellent sound quality via Bluetooth and 3.5 mm jack
    - Highly recommended for fans of DAP and classic MP3.
    - You can apply a number of effects to the sound, including an equaliser to adjust the frequency range, DSEE Ultimate to enhance low-resolution audio to CD quality using AI, DC linearisation to recreate the characteristics of analogue speakers and even a vinyl processor to recreate vinyl sound output. But I've found the best one (which disables all the others) is ClearAudio+; a single-switch setting that seems to increase and improve the clarity of every track.
