CNET has reviewed the Sony Walkman Bean NW-E305 and give the player and ‘Average’ rating, 5.7 out of 10. They write   The good: Excellent FM reception and battery life; retractable USB connector.   The bad: Poorly designed USB cover; awkward controls; tiny screen muddles interface; noticeable hiss during playback; music-store support limited to Sony Connect; slow file transfers.   The bottom line: Sony’s half-baked Walkman Bean tries hard to be hip, but bad design elements and hissy audio make it one square audio player.
