Sony Launches Wire-free MP3 Player

14 Jul, 2009, 4:45 pm IST | by tech2 News Staff | PMPs

Sony's new Walkman W series MP3 player has a wire-free design meant for audio fans who want a simple and headphone-only MP3 player to use on the go.


The ultra portable W series is compact and lightweight (35g) and fits comfortably behind the head, so users can get active without getting tangled. It is available in five colours; black, white, pink, violet and lime and features 2GB of storage.

The design doesn't allow for a display so Sony's unique new 'Zappin' function is incorporated. By simply clicking the Jog Dial operation on the inside earpiece, the 'Zappin' mode helps users find tunes easily.


A quick charge feature has been incorporated that allows users to play back up to 90 minutes of music with only a three minute charge. A full charge will allow users to enjoy up to 12 hours of music playback. The W series also comes with a USB cradle to dock and charge the MP3 player.

Sony's 13.5mm EX headphones have been utilised for this product and the 'Content Transfer' software supplied with the W series Walkman allows users to easily transfer non-DRM music files from online music services, such as iTunes, to the Walkman by simply 'dragging and dropping' files.

At a price tag of Rs. 4,990, the W series will be available at all Sony Center stores and retail partners across the country.
