Sony at it worst, the battery life of this device sucks big time. I hate you Sony for making such a dumb device.

Battery is the problem

Reviewed in India on 13 October 2020

Excellent sound quality. If you want a high quality sound for your top notch headphone, buy this.

The only drawback is the really poor battery life. The battery drained very quickly if WiFi is turned on.

Also, the Sony music manager for Windows didn't transfer all the songs from my 8000 tracks library.

But the other Android music streaming apps work really well. With the ClearAudio + setting, it is a treat to listen to your favourite songs , especially those in lossless format.

Excellent build and feel, great sound ... appalling battery life

Reviewed in Canada on 14 November 2020

Let me start by saying this. Sony sure knows how to build hardware, the NW-A105 feels great in the hand, very portable, not too heavy, not too light, just right! I'm no audiophile by any definition but I know enough to not be audio-fooled with snake-oil claims. Sure Sony limits the streaming audio format on this device to 16-Bit/44.1 kHz but that's just CD audio quality and that's good enough for me and my average human hearing. At the end of the day, you do notice the difference between the music played by this NW-A105 Walkman and your average smartphone. Also, I strongly believe this device was meant for those of us who like to listen to our own music files, carefully recorded and catalogued, hopefully in FLAC or another lossless music format. If you mostly stream music through Spotify or Tidal, it's probably best to look elsewhere, your phone will do for now until the battery problem is solved in future models.

It's only been a week or so since I've owned this device and I am quite enjoying the experience so far. After deliberating for days between the NW-A105 and the NW-A55 (got both to compare on a test run), I still went for the A105 as it provides Android functionality, Wifi and USB-C connectivity. On the battery life, yes the A55 leaves the A-105 in the dust, it's embarrasing! Having Android functionality also brings the issue of security and access to personal data since you need to use a google account to set up this device. I found a way around battery life though, as well as having to input a password every time I want to check the screen for some reason. I slapped on a wireless charging adapter in the back, which you can find for around C$15. If the battery is running low I just put the device in the wireless charging pad and problem solved, no need to connect to USB to charge and I still get to listen to music! To avoid using a password, I just "pin the app" so I can continue using the music player without having to input a password everytime I need to browse but you're limited to using the app you pinned (i.e. the music player), and can't use any other apps unless you put in the password again. This leads me to the point made earlier, I think this device was meant for those who just want to listen to music (specifically pre-recorded audio files), but with the bonus of having Wifi if you need to download firmware updates or another app to listen to music, occasionally browsing the internet, etc.

Battery is a real pain

Reviewed in Canada on 21 October 2020

Sound quality and portability are perfect, with the android system which surely brings a lot of convenience, really getting tired of transferring music files through computer by cable.

My only complaint, same as other reviews, is the battery, yes, the battery life is…embarrassing somehow, if you play music via wifi, the battery will go down fast as hell. So what I usually do is listening the downloaded songs by switching to airplane mode, also turning on the battery saver fonction, this will help the battery life maintaining to a acceptable level.

Hope Sony can work on this and give some software optimization possibly, otherwise this is a real nice device!
