Good morning !
We keep hearing about our favorite TV shows and movies being “rebooted”, how about our favorite tech devices? Well, wait no further, because the iconic Sony Walkman is back — as a hi-resolution streaming player.
As a kid I had a few Walkman style Cassette players, the Sony Walkman was by far the best model. The battery life was better and the overall quality was better with the Sony model.
The Walkman cassette player was first released in 1979, selling over 500,000 units in its first year. It became a huge leap forward in portable music consumption, eventually selling over 400million units. The new Walkman is available in two models, and Sony says both offer “evolutionary sound” while allowing listeners to download music to the playing card-sized device or stream via Wi-Fi. You can use “your favourite streaming and music apps right on your Walkman or connect to a PC to access your music collection”. As well as being powered by Android, the new Walkman also boasts a S-Master HX digital amplifier to provide high-resolution audio. A retro twist also comes in the vinyl processor, allowing tracks to sound like they’re being spun on a turntable.
