Sony Walkman W202 The W202 is a 2GB MP3 player connected to earphones by a flexible band. This keeps the buds firmly in your ears and the sound is surprisingly good. With no screen, control is via a single dial that lets you shift between tracks, or via a nifty feature called ‘zappin’, that gives you short-burst previews of tracks to help you find the one you want.

Sony Walkman NWZ-X1050
It’s a brave man that turns his back on the ubiquitous iPod, but the new Walkman has a lot going for it. Audio quality is brilliant and the supplied headphones are way better than the ones Apple provides. There aren’t any apps and video quality is a bit iffy, but if you’re looking for a music player that plays music well, this is the best that money can buy. Price £209 Web www.sonystyle.co.uk
