30 Mar 09 Sony W-Series Walkman Now Shipping
One of the best players to come out of CES this year was the W-series from Sony. The W-Series eliminated the need for wires by incorporating the player into a pair of wraparound EX-series Headphones. The wearable DAP is perfect for those with active lifestyles, or people like me who always get their headphones tangled up beyond all recognition, or TUBAR (trademark pending). The W-series has a nice modern design, and comes bundled with a cool docking station as seen below:
Features:
- Capacity: 2GB
- Audio: MP3, WMA, AAC, and WAV
- 13.5mm EX-series earphones
- Battery life: 13 hours (Plus 3 minute quick charges support for 90 minutes of playback)
- UMS/MSC
- ZAPPIN™ technology for quick song searches: Listen to the first few seconds of the chorus to find your favourite tracks
- Comes with holder and Charging stand
- Colors: Black or Pink
Sony has just started shipping these out in the US at a price of $69.99. We might pick one up to review if there’s enough interest for it. Let us know!
