: nice decent and balanced sound with battery back up upto 15 hours music playing
: feels it lacks power on some of the headphones such as (hd 439, hd 239)
Sony NWZ-B172 is very good player for casual listening the sound i s good as i am using it with my pmx 60 and hd 203 it has a proper balance sound. i just love it for its size and decent sound,dont expect too much from its a normal player with 5 equalizer settings with customizable single equalizer with a bass boost option. good for the the beginners or casual listeners...
