The audio quality (to me) is excellent, especially when paired with a pair of Sony wireless headphones (WF or WH1000XM5). Somehow the Sony to Sony connection just works brilliantly. There are many effects you can apply to the sound including an equaliser to tweak the frequency range, DSEE Ultimate to upscale lower res audio towards CD quality using AI, DC Linearisation to recreate analogue speaker characteristics and even a Vinyl Processor to recreate a vinyl sounding output. But I’ve found the best one (which disables all the others) is ClearAudio+; a one switch setting which seems to boost and enhance the clarity of every track.Yes, it’s an Android 12 O/S and yes it is a bit on the slower side to boot and can be a bit laggy, but I can live with that because I bought it as a music player and not a tablet and that is where Sony have put the emphasis.I see some reviews make references to loading files to the device as being “clunky” especially with a Mac. I’m not sure what the problem is here - I have a MacBook and file transfer is a doddle. Simply format the SD card on the A306 using the Android file formatting tool, take the card out and connect it to your computer and then simply cut and paste your music files and folders to the Music folder on the card that was created when it was formatted. Put the card back in and use the little icon at the top of the Walkman app to re-create the database and ….bobs your uncle! You don’t need Sony Music Centre and you only need Android File Transfer to get music on to the internal storage and because only about 17 of the 32GB of this is available, it’s pretty pointless anyway.The next great thing about this device is the wireless connectivity and the fact that it runs on Android means you have access to the Google Play store, and that means you can download anything you think useful, particularly streaming or content based apps like Spotify, Tidal, Amazon Music and Audible. All of which I’ve found work great, just like an iPad but with better sound quality! I’ve even installed PlexAmp and set up a PlexAmp media server on my NAS so I can access my full music library from anywhere in the world - again this works great on the A306.I’ve also read, but not yet tried, that you can use the A306 as an external DAC, which means I could swap out my SoundBlaster DAC if I wanted, although….actually having a dedicated hi-res music player like the A306 negates the need to listen to music from an iPad or iPhone using an external DAC and wired headphones. 0n the topic of wired headphones - the A306 is good but not as good (in my opinion) as with (Sony) wireless headphones - the power output from the A306 is apparently relatively low and therefore needs the volume turning up to pretty much maximum.And finally….after the sound quality and the portability, the absolute next best feature on this device is the cassette screensaver which comes on after a few seconds, the colour/spec of the tape being shown matching the quality of the track being played!Overall this is a powerful, feature packed device which produces superb sound quality. It does have a couple foibles but fortunately these aren’t in the space that matters and what the device’s primary function is - playing great sounding music. ### ⭐ Volume limited in the UK despite being a EU directive. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 4 March 2023* I've had a sony Walkman for years, great sound and easy to use. But this is different, it's more like a phone. I've had this player for 4 months now so time to update my review. The volume cap is really annoying, you can be walking around and the volume will just drop so it's virtually impossible to hear. Even when you have the volume on a high level it's still low, so if you're hard of hearing of don't listen to metal or other loud music this isn't for you. The Sony media player is next to useless. I have about 3500 songs and if I wanted to create a playlist it would take months as its so awkward. The only way I could improve this was to use PowerAmp with replay gain, even then its not the best. The operating system is laggy and the battery is poor. If you disable all the useless apps and have airplane mode it's a bit better. Overall I wish I'd returned it. The tagline is 'music how the artist intended' but I'm sure any artist wouldn't want their music crippled by this player Hopefully an alternative firmware will eventually come out which will fix this. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Portable music player *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 18 May 2024* I recently purchased the Sony Walkman NW-A306 and I couldn't be happier with my decision. The sound quality is truly exceptional, providing a rich and immersive listening experience that truly brings my music collection to life.One of the standout features of this device is its expandable storage options. I was able to easily install a 1TB micro SD card, allowing me to store my extensive collection of lossless audio files with ease. This was a major selling point for me, as I have a large collection of audio CD files that I wanted to transfer and listen to on-the-go.The design of the Walkman NW-A306 is sleek and modern, with a user-friendly interface that makes navigation a breeze. The battery life is also impressive, lasting for hours on end without needing a recharge.Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase of the Sony Walkman NW-A306. It has exceeded my expectations in terms of sound quality, storage capacity, and overall performance. If you are in the market for a high-quality music player, I would highly recommend giving this device a try. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sony Walkman NW-A306 Touchscreen MP3 Player - 32GB, Black - inorlo Resolute Series Case Cover for Sony Walkman NW-A306, NW-A307 and NW-A105 series with Magnetic Closure Drop Resistant Design and Charger Dust Cap Cover Black - SanDisk 512GB Ultra microSDXC card + SD adapter, Memory card Full HD, up to 150 MB/s, For smartphones and Tablets, with A1 App Performance, UHS-I, Class 10, U1 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/503838610-sony-walkman-nw-a306-touchscreen-mp3-player-32gb-black](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/503838610-sony-walkman-nw-a306-touchscreen-mp3-player-32gb-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-10-08*
