You asked & we listened. Our Sony Walkman got a facelift, same nostalgic feel with modern technology. #MySony #SonyWalkman Queue up the nostalgia and get yours today: bit.ly/41ZF6UR
Much better daps out there for the $ and have been for awhile. Some are extremely powerful and easier to load files. I really wanted to lived this but no balanced port.
@@theantiquescollector2199yeah this brother tripping af. Sony literally creates flagship audio shit. they're the pioneer dude. the dd9 is one of the greatest cassette player to ever graced this earth

@@carloslindero4890 sadly, NWA105's battery life on the page says "26 hours" or something, and in reality its like 6-8 (thanks to the android system on it), so... :/
It's not meant for all you cheap-asses out here. It's meant for people that already have nice headphones and if you don't, you clearly don't need this anyways.
Why android??? I want to get a decent player just because it has to be a separate device from my phone! Just to play music and nothing else. And you get all this google android spyware/bloatware. Like a streamer device with 3.5mm jack for lossless streaming? But then you have to pair it to your phone wifi and player and phone wifi will be poor. If you want to mess with streaming, ok, release a corded “remote” control device with 3.5mm jack like it was with MD players, make a screen on it, put good DAC in it, and then you would connect this usb-c remote to your phone and your favorite entry level audiophile headphones and you streaming lossless from phone to your corded headphones. But if you really want to have a separate device for audio then full fledged android is overkill for me.
@@wyw201Pretty sure this is enough to run 90% of headphones out there. Only reason there are no headphones is because noone buys this when they haven't already invested in nice headphones.
@@psykadelikoflifelinez offline and you can still control Spotify or anything else in sac mode . And it has Sony UI and features and you’re not distracted by everything else android has its an actual player instead of android device
What packaging do you expect? You pay for the tech. The only thing I'd expect would be a case with a clip, that's it. And no, headphones are not needed here. If you expect those, you are NOT the target audience.
A phone this small would be amazing. I’d strongly consider carrying around a portable hotspot to go with it if I didn’t need to take phone calls. It fits in the mini pocket on my jeans!
@@akash5180 it runs android, it's no different than any existing smartphone, just missing a mobile data antenna. I said this because unfortunately there are no more modern small android phones available and this looks like the perfect size phone.
@@lucasn82_ Even though it is special just get everything from JBL because they're just the best they have the best speakers out there and they do sound the best Even though the sound core might sound more open than JBL charge 5 The JBL charge 5 is a more budget speaker is worth affordable it's more durable the JBL Xtreme 3 it's also more durable but sounds louder and have more bass than the charge 5 but it puts more of an emphasis on the highs so it can sound bright but the sound core sounds a lot more balanced than the JBL Xtreme 3 because it doesn't put as much of an emphasis on the highs but JBL's always the best
@@Mingzhe583 Really Im writing about MP4/AAC player not JBL speakers that I dont care. X-series is player from 2009 with OLED screen, glass, metal frame and artificial stone, Noise Canelation and first S-Master true digital amplifier.
Overpriced. Outdated design. Screen display is also outdated. Overpowered by China OEM mp4 manufacturers. Now with a range of $200 could get a mp with DAC-AMP, hi res 2 ways, etc, you name it, smaller size than A306
Anybody here asking for headphones should just seek themselves out. This is not meant for you people, if you expect headphones with a player, you don't need one this expensive cause you clearly have no clue about actually good headphones anyways.
The og times are back I love Sony like so much whenever I see a old Sony device I always think that I should not throw it it’s Sony so no chance of throwing it away
That’s actually a valid point, would free up pocket space whilst being a little throwback to the originals. I will say though that this thing is small enough to fit in the mini pocket that most men’s jeans have, if that’s any consolation
An ipod with an SSD mod, Classic, Mini, anything, is an amazing Device. Back when apple didn't make overpriced garbage that was out of Service 5 seconds later... (That is why I have 3 lmao)
It is, but only for the stock player app because it’s built into that instead of being a system-wide feature. The performance is just about good enough for that and Spotify, it definitely isn’t amazing but I have no complaints about speed.
@@akash5180 I hope they try Tidal to really get the most out of their stuff. Just unfortunate it doesn't have a big library like Spotify, but until Spotify offers FLACs or lossless WAVs, perhaps the difference between a regular smartphone and this for Spotify isn't big, yeah.
I definitely would buy that. Sony still respects quality audio, and so do I.
its project q
No headphones tho lmao

They respect everything except live action spiderman movies 😅
@marsoblivi0n945 hi can you recommend some. I'm interested in getting into this kinda stuff.
Walkman used to be a lo-fi cassette player. Now it's a hi res digital player.
Good job
lo-fi? not really.

@@qayyim3299 agreed. i have a WM-32 and with it being just an ordinary walkman it sounds amazing
Sound quality still better than most phone
It’s a music player so I would hope it has better sound quality than a phone

Can you listen to offline downloaded music?
I'm glad it uses USBC now instead of that Apple-esque prop connector
A walkman without headphones ? XD
and for usd350?
For how niche it really is it's kind of assumed you already have a nice pair of headphones lying around.
Yeah, because nobody who already owns headphones is buying a $350 walkman
Yes
This is for audiophiles, who probably would have way better earphones/headphones then basic ones that would come with.
Don't care just chill with my Sony walkman a good choice for music👍👍
I have this it's great would deffo recommend, it's hard to get the official flip case in the UK though, imported my case from AliExpress
Love mine 💯
Damn i want that so bad how much does it cost
Я до сих пор слушаю музыку на Sony Ericsson W890i walkman
can you guys make cheaper ones, i just want one with buttons: volume, previous, next, shuffle, and then an audio jack
imagine if this is a phone, a bit thinner... heck, it'll fly off the shelves.. make it almost bezel less...
not a walkman anymore, it's now a walkgrandpa
🎉🎉
I'm trying to find something like this, minus android. And at a decent price. Any ideas?
Why cant they produce this size of smartphone with limited features????
It’s small and pretty

It has better packaging than Sony Xperia 1😢

There are cheaper models. Just admit you are a cheap-ass and buy something fitting your budget.

That’s terrible packaging for a $400 device. I guess that’s what you get since the Walkman is no longer made in Japan.
