Steve Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Sony has launched a new series of their Walkman players, the NW-S700, the first portable music players from Sony to feature noise-cancelling technology that the company claims cuts down ambient sound by 75%. The tiny players feature a colour display large enough to display 3-line album art. They come with 13.5 EX headphones that feature built-in microphones designed to neutralise ambient noise. The battery promises a full 50 hours of playback time, with a 3 minute charge, 3 hours of playback quick charge function, so you should never run out of juice. Advanced features include the ability to record analogue audio from an audio player without the use of PC, as well as a 5-band equiliser system, and acoustic playback technology. Accessories for the player, which comes in violet, black, and pink, are be rolled out, and include leather cases, a recording cable and cradle, and a Bluetooth Audio Transmitter.

ripple Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I bet advanced features will include some shit software as well. Sony could be the next big thing after Apple if only they'd just use drag/drop file transfer or even playsforsure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple's file system is the worst of the bunch IMO. My flatmates Sony playe works fine with WMP. As does pretty much every player I've encountered yet.
