Choosing between digital audio players means deciding which listening setup matters most: app-led access to music or a connection-focused player with specific wireless and USB wording. Sony Walkman NW-A105 and Fiio Snowsky Disc both use portable Hi-Res language, but their strongest distinctions point to different types of listeners.
Quick verdict
Choose Sony Walkman NW-A105 for an app-led listening setup and a clearly stated headphone connection. Choose Fiio Snowsky Disc for a connection-focused brief built around the Bluetooth5.4, WiFi, and USB AUDIO wording in its title. The better fit depends on how you plan to access and organize music, rather than on the shared portable Hi-Res phrasing.

Where each product wins
Sony Walkman NW-A105 wins for Android streaming and wired listening. Android support and Wi-Fi are directly tied to access to named music services including Spotify, Pandora, YouTube Music, Tidal, and Apple Music. Its headphone jack also gives wired headphones a clearly stated connection option.
Fiio Snowsky Disc wins for connection-first shoppers. Bluetooth5.4, WiFi, and USB AUDIO are the most prominent technical terms in its title, giving shoppers who are comparing connection specifications a direct reason to shortlist it. The New condition is another concrete distinction from Sony's Open box designation.
Product notes
Sony Walkman NW-A105
Sony Walkman NW-A105 is the clearer match for shoppers who want a player with clearly stated capacity and screen details. The 16 GB capacity and 3.6-inch screen give two concrete specifications to weigh when a dedicated portable music player is the goal. The model's Walkman NW-A105 naming also makes it easy to distinguish from the Fiio choice. The limitation is its listed Open box condition, which may not suit a shopper specifically seeking a New item. That condition matters more than color for a buyer whose priority is purchase state, while the capacity and screen details give Sony a concrete reason to choose it.
Fiio Snowsky Disc Portable Hi-Res Music Player
Fiio Snowsky Disc suits shoppers who want a New portable player in the listed Pink color and a clearly identified model name. That combination gives the choice a concrete fit for someone who has already settled on that finish and purchase condition. Bluetooth5.4, WiFi, and USB AUDIO are the connection terms that distinguish its title, giving a connection-focused shopper a direct reason to shortlist it. MP3 is the listed playable media format, a useful match for a listener whose collection centers on MP3 files. The trade-off is its higher listed price than Sony's, so those connection terms and New condition need to be the reasons for paying more.
Final choice by use case
- For Android streaming apps: Choose Sony Walkman NW-A105.
- For wired headphone listening: Choose Sony Walkman NW-A105.
- For the features highlighted in Fiio Snowsky Disc's title: Choose Fiio Snowsky Disc.
- For the lower listed price: Choose Sony Walkman NW-A105.
- For the listed New condition: Choose Fiio Snowsky Disc.
Sony is the more natural choice when streaming access and a headphone jack define the setup. Fiio makes more sense when its connection-focused title wording, Pink color, and New condition align with the buying brief.
