Sony India introduces new E-Series

The new E-Series Walkman (NWZ-E350, NWZ-E450) has been introduced by Sony India. Two capacities will be available, 4 and 8GB, pricing is Rs 4990 and Rs 6990 respectively. The 4GB model is available in black and red, whereas the 8GB model is available as black and gold. If I recall correctly the E350 only comes with a USB port, so it will not work with any WM-port accessories, whereas the E450 will since it is equipped with a WM-port.

Sony NWD300 Active Speaker

Recently I have received a few emails and messages regarding docks for Walkmans and unfortunately there are not many available in Europe. I was able to locate one, the RDP-NWD300. It is available on the Sony website but for pre-order only and searchomg for the device on amazon.co.uk yields no results. A quick search on Google yields a few online retailers having the units available for pre-order.

Here are the specifications from Sony’s website:

• 5Wx2
• iFS Technology
• WM-Port
• PC mode
• line-in
• remote control
• colours: black and white

AKIHABARANEWS’ review of Sony NW-S755

AKIHABARANEWS has a review up of the Japanese S-Series, S755. Overall the review is positive with high marks for the design, features and performance. Unfortunately no player is perfect and the review mentions some cons, such as no playlists on the go, can’t listen to the player while charging and no dedicated on/off switch for the noise cancellation. I would highly agree with the NC switch since owning a X-Series, the dedicated switch is a nice touch to be able to turn it on and off on the go and not jumble through menus. I’ve yet to check out the new S-Series at the Sony Store but will be heading up next week to the store to see if they have any in stock.

NWZ-A847 available at AdvancedMP3 Players

Well it looks like the 64GB model has hit AMP3, and is now available for ordering. You receive a free silicon case which is a nice addition. Unfortunately the price is not the best aspect; at 299 pounds it is expensive but then when compared to the old X-Series it is not that bad considering you also receive an OLED screen, Noise cancellation and 64GB of capacity.
