After reading about Sony has killed the X-Series, I wanted to get one before they're all gone. Bought one new and received it yesterday. After a few hours of playing/comparing the sound quality to my iPhone 4, I've come to the conclusion that it doesn't sound any better. The ugly UI and the lack of Artwork/Album info on the Walkman with WAV. files is a pain in the you know where. All the tracks are pulled into one album. I need to add that I am using a Mac so all I can do is drag in drop from folders. The included Sony software doesn't work on Macs. My iPhone 4 sounds better with Apple Lossless file than the uncompressed WAV. file which means that the Walkman isn't all that much better, hardware wise. Another bad was the noise (hiss) it makes, even with non-noise canceling earphones (MDR-EX300). My iPhone 4 is silent. I'm gonna keep the Walkman because it is a piece of Walkman history, but that's all it has going for it.
