The £260 F886 is the first Walkman to sport the new Hi-Res Audio badge Sony has introduced in a bid to wake more people up to the joys of higher-quality music. Which actually makes the F886 pretty important as portable music players go. But is there more to this Hi-Res Audio thing than just a label?
Superb high-res audio sound quality; Good quality screen; Excellent battery life; Simple drag and drop system
Included headphones aren't up to Hi-Res Audio spec; File confusion in Hi-Res Audio world; 32GB could fill quite quickly if you stick with Hi-Res files
