Question on Music & Play:

I am trying to decide between the Sony X Series Walkman and the Samsung P3. Can you give your opinion on this?

Answer:

Wireless connectivity aside, the X-series offers a built-in noise-cancelling system, although it works with only the bundled in-ear headphones. Samsung may lack the noise-cancelling feature, but its wider file support trumps the Sony.

Choosing between these two players would boil down to prioritizing what your needs are, and it's mainly these two features: Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Samsung has the former, which lets you make use of a Bluetooth wireless headset while Sony's Wi-Fi feature will allow you to surf the Internet. The one that is more important to you will ultimately decide your choice of player.
