New Walkman B-Series introduced

Sony has unveiled the new B-Series, a 5th generation Walkman. A quick run down of the features:

• Bass boost button with flashing red illuminator LEDs
• Long battery life up to 18 hours
• Quick charge in just 3 minutes for 90 minutes playback time
• One-button ZAPPIN for quick, easy music searches
• Easy drag-and-drop music transfers
• Comes in 2GB and 4GB capacities
• FM Radio with 30 presets
• Voice recorder
• 4 colours: black, red, pink, blue

Basically nothing really new or spectacular from the low end B-Series, but then it was not meant to be a feature-rich device.

Press Release

 

A great ‘first MP3’ player for younger music lovers, the compact, colourful WALKMAN NWZ-B150 series offers great sound with pumping bass you can really feel.

Despite its ultra-compact size, the WALKMAN B150 Series makes its presence felt with full, rich sound. A handy button provides an instant bass boost, confirmed by flashing red Power Illuminator LEDs.

The built-in USB connection links WALKMAN directly to your computer with no cables or extra software needed: just drag and drop to load up your favourite tracks. The direct USB connection also allows easy music transfer and direct recording or playback with compatible Mini/Micro audio systems.

Operation is clear and simple, with a 3-line LCD showing track and artist information. At a touch, ZAPPIN technology scans through stored tracks, playing a short sample from each song to help you pinpoint the right track.

If you’re in a hurry, a 3-minute charge gives enough power for 90 minutes listening, while a fully charged battery offers up to 18 hours non-stop play time.

The WALKMAN B150F series adds an FM tuner for enjoying your favourite radio shows wherever you are. You can also store voice notes or radio broadcasts with the on-board recorder.

Optional accessories for the WALKMAN NWZ-B150 series include the CKA-NWU10 sports armband – an ideal addition for keeping Walkman® secure while you’re exercising or just hanging out.

The new WALKMAN NWZ-B150 series of MP3 players from Sony comes in a range of colour variations black, blue, pink and red and is available from early June 2010.
