Sony Walkman Turns 45

The Sony Walkman turns 45 today. It is a brand close to my heart and I have many fond memories of my Walkmans. I have owned a few in my time, and I hope to have a post up in the near future of my Walkman experience over the years. The Walkman brand may not be as big as it was in the past, but we still have 3 models, and the A and ZX could receive Android 14 later this year.

Sony NW-A300 and NW-ZX700 Walkmans Android 14 Update Testing (Update)

For those wondering if we will see any new Walkmans anytime soon, I do not believe so. But there is some good news. Thanks to Ed again (who found the Android 13 update), we have 4 Geekbench benchmarks for the NW-A300 and NW-ZX700 Walkmans sporting Android 14.

Sony YY2975 passes thru the FCC confirming Earbud model (update 2)

The YY2975 headset has appeared on the FCC, and we have a confirmation that this is a set of earbuds and not a over the ear headset. This seems to corroborate that this is the new LinkBuds S mark 2. We also know this headset will come with active noise cancellation, just like the LinkBuds S.

Is the Sony YY2975 the new LinkBuds S successor?

We have another new Sony headset, the YY2975. The headset is currently only on Apple's MFi certification site, so we have very little information. This might be the first time a new Sony headset was revealed by a MFi certification.

Sony WF-1000XM5 resubmitted to Bluetooth SIG

Sony has resubmitted the WF-1000XM5 (YY2963) to Bluetooth SIG this week (Thanks Ed). But why? The headset already has support for LE Audio and LC3, so what could this re-certification be adding?
