Teaser of new Sony Walkman A-Series (NWZ-A10) (Updated)

Sony Walkman NWZ-A10, NWZ-A15, NWZ-A17

UPDATE
  • 2 colours - Silver and Black
  • no noise cancellation
  • Audio Out via the WM-port to Hi-Res compatible Sony Equipment (ex ), this uses a WM-Port to USB which then can be attached to a USB cable to the Coaxil digital in on the UDA-A1, on the SRS-X9, the connections seems to be into the regular audio in 3.5mm.
  • Internal and external memory seem to be separate with access to the micro-sd via an icon in the menu
  • no controls on the left side, right side has vol +/-, Hold switch, and micro-sd slot which is covered
  • NFC on the back near the top
  • Seems to be able to drive MDR-1R headphones

So far I only know of 2 colours, black and silver, the build seems to be metal but could also be plastic.  As the page mentions, there will be Hi-Res audio support.  Bluetooth 3.0 with aptX, apparently no noise cancellation.

    1. I only saw photos, not physically in my hands unfortunately. It looked good, much higher quality from the previous walkmans.

    2. INSTANT CRUSH (song cit.)
      No really I love how they leave the idea of touch screen behind (as seen in the NWZ-A865) and just went with phisical buttons instead... and also that they changed the layout (bye bye iPod wannabe)
      For me it is a 9/10 as design, that layout without too many indication is awesome! the LOCK, PLAY, VOLUME... buttons on the side are there... I'm really intrigued... I hoped for a bigger screen (a bit) but it is ok like these... I would like to know actual size!

  3. I'm pleasantly surprised by the inclusion of hi-res capabilities. If priced right, I will add it alongside my Z1060 (whose sound I still love). Looking forward to more Walkmans coming!

  4. Do you know if there will be the S-Master MX (seeing that even the M-series has it)?
    That with the microSD support and a long battery will be the deal breaker for me...
    also what do you mean with "Seems to be able to drive MDR-1R headphones"?
    I have those wonderful earphones and theey work so good with the Xperia Z2! :3
