Sony to launch new WS model soon

Sony has filed a new FCC application for the WS620 Walkman, the successor to the WS610.  Design wise the new WS will be similar to the cheaper WS410.  To differentiate the two models, the WS620 will ship with a remote (RMT-NWS10B) like the WS610. 

GSMArena Review of the MDR-1000X

GSMArena has put up a short review of the new MDR-1000X headphones.  The 1000X are Sony's top of the line model with built in NC and Bluetooth.  There is support for Sony's LDAC and aptX, a format the new A-Series has stopped supporting but does offer LDAC in its place. 

Firmware Update: NW-A35/NW-A36/NW-A37 - Version 1.01

Sony NW-A35/A37 Walkman Shows up on Amazon

The new A-Series has shown up on Amazon finally.  But it is not directly from Amazon but from resellers, all are from Japan, so the model shipping will be the Japanese one.  Pricing is around $300 USD for the A35 and $530-560 USD for the A37, all 5 colours are available for both versions.  If anyone has decided to grab one from Amazon let me know if it is worth the cost.

Sony NW-A36 Reviews from MusicPhotoLife and TechGoondu

These might be the first or at least one of the first reviews I have seen of the new A30.  There are 2 reviews, the first from TechGoondu and the second from MusicPhotoLife.  Both are from Singapore meaning the device should go on sale shortly there, November from what I can see. The MusicPhotoLife review is the longer and more detailed one and probably the better of the two.  The author mentionss upgrading from the A10/A20 might not be worth the money.  Of course this is subjective but from the differences between the A10/20 and A30. I may pull the trigger if it goes on sale here.
