Clear Audio Technologies

4 Clear Audio Technologies

WALKMAN has always stood for the highest quality portable audio. The WALKMAN video NWZA has four `Clear Audio' technologies:

Clear Stereo: Technology keeping the two signals clearly separate. So what you should be hearing in your left ear will never `leak' into the right ear.

Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE): This unique feature improves compressed audio quality restoring high frequency signals to poor recording.

Clear Bass: Gives clear, rich bass without distortion.

EX-Headphone: The unique shape of the earphones allows the biggest possible sound unit (13.5mm) whilst maintaining the most comfortable in-ear fit.


Display

Display

2" QVGA colour LCD, high resolution (320 x 240), high brightness, high contrast and superior colour reproduction display your videos at their best.

To avoid the problem sometimes experienced when viewing small screens, Sony has used its TV expertise to create a great picture. For example, using a low temperature poly-silicon TFT panel with LED backlight to reproduce 262,144 individual colours so mobile viewing does not mean compromising on quality.


Battery Life

Battery Life

Prolong your entertainment with the WALKMAN video. Fully charged you can access thirty hours worth of music playback or eight hours of video.

To fully charge the battery takes only three hours.

*Music: ATRAC 132 kbps

Customer Reviews

Just the best......5
I bought my 818 last week, and having had a week to pore through the onCD manual, I am still nowhere near being able to transfer video files to the player! But that is nothing as I only got it to listen to music on. And Boy, does it do that well. I have £55 worth of Sennheiser phones that are superb, and the Sonys are at least as good. I haven`t yet tried the Senns on the Sony player, but if they are better than the Sony ones, it will only be measureable on electronic measuring equipment. Likewise the performance difference between the Sony and its `bete noir`, the iPod. No-one has senses good enough to tell the two apart purely by listening, so it all boils down to what is in the box. And that is where the iPod might come out ahead. It has a radio on board, and arguably a better navigation set-up. But the wheel can be a touch sensitive, and that is annoying. You need to be a bit more `definite` with the Sony, but you make fewer mistakes. Anyway, everyone and his mate has got an iPod now, which gives the Sony that `exclusive touch`. And let`s face it, that`s exactly why everyone bought iPods in the first place..... The nub of it all is that preference is a subjective thing. You like something or you don`t. I like, LOVE, the Sony, and am glad I didn`t become vegetarian, because apples have got so tasteless these days.

Supersonic Sony5
Replaced an early I-Pod with this little Sony and only one word describes this, and that is fantastic!! IMO it beats the I-pod hands down.

Forget buying an iPod5
I've had a few iPods over the years, all of which have ended up stopped working or had problems. Therefore I decided to get an MP3 player instead. This Sony Walkman Mp3 player is simply brilliant, small, looks good, easy to use etc. I managed to get software to convert all my itunes to MP3 format, and this device synchs with Windows Media Player, so is simple to use and great value. I also bought some logitech speakers which use the headphone jack to connect to, and presto an instant stereo.

Very highly recommend this product.
