Sony Electronics Debuts Two New Premium Music Players Including New Signature Series Walkman
For anyone over the age of 30, the Walkman brought a sense of style to your out on the town look. From there, it morphed into the discman then eventually the iPod and now, if you don’t have a phone that can manage to stream music from any source, then frankly you are a Neanderthal.
But for those of us who love nostalgia mixed with new technology, then praise be Sony Electronics.
Sony Electronics Inc. has re-introduced two new premium music players, the NW-WM1ZM2 and NW-WM1AM2, AKA “The Walkman”, raising the bar to new heights in high-resolution audio listening, to satisfy the most demanding audiophiles.
Designed to immerse the listener in sublime, nuanced sound, the NW-WM1ZM2 has been fine-tuned from years of audio mastery and crafted from the very best materials. This new addition sets a new benchmark for Sony’s award-winning signature series, offering an exquisite listening experience in an ultra-premium design.
The NW-WM1AM2 allows music lovers to completely lose themselves in high-quality audio with a richer, smoother and more expansive sound field compared to its predecessor.
Both music players let the user download and stream from endless catalogues of music with Wi-Fi compatibility, taking the listening enjoyment to the next level.
The only thing missing is the cassette tape! But now you won’t have to carry around a pencil to rewind it if it jams.
Throughout the history of Sony’s premium range music players, audio mastery has been accomplished through a combination of meticulous assembly of exceptional components. The NW- WM1ZM2 and NW-WM1AM2 are products of this philosophy.
The NW-WM1ZM2 has a 99.99% purity (4N) Gold-plated Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) Chassis. This realizes a stronger digital ground and higher rigidity, enabling clear, expansive sound, so the listener can experience each instrument as if it were performing live.
The NW-WM1AM2 uses an aluminum alloy frame which provides a highly rigid case that’s resistive to electrical noise and other interference creating a stable, high-quality sound.
Both Walkmans are also compatible with Balanced Connection and High-Resolution Audio, allowing listeners to experience their favorite tracks, just how the artist intended.
The NW-WM1ZM2 and NW-WM1AM2 are Wi-Fi compatible and powered by AndroidTM 11, giving access to a vast collection of genres and artists, from all around the world. Consumers can choose to either listen from their favorite music streaming and download services or connect to a PC to download tracks and playlists from personal collections, ensuring high quality sound playback.
With a larger 5.0” (12.7cm) display, both music players introduce a new smooth and responsive touchscreen that has been upgraded to HD (High Definition), optimizing the user experience. Consumers can also personalize their home display on the Walkman Home Screen to suit individual needs, making each Walkman truly unique.
To ensure listeners can immerse themselves in the music wherever they are, both premium models deliver up to 40 hours1 of non-stop 96kHz FLAC High-Resolution Audio playback.
A USBType-C port features on both models, offering fast music file transfer and easy connectivity with a range of device.
