  Cons: Even with the included extender, the Sony NWZ-A810's earphone cable is very short, Placement of the hold button on the back of the player is neither convenient nor ergonomic, No FM tuner, voice recorder, or memory expansion slot
  
  Verdict: The Sony NWZ-A810 offers a fantastic display, a sleek design and interface, and a stellar battery life -- plus, it's one of the few MP3 players that sound great right out of the box. Users looking for the whole package (sans radio) will be pleased.
