If you are a 90’s kid, I’m sure you would know the significance of Sony Walkmans in the market. At the time, Sony’s portable digital music players were all the rage before Apple came up with its iconic iPod series. However, a Sony Walkman has its own place in tech history that can stir up nostalgia. So now, Sony has launched two new Walkman-style MP3 players that come with several high-end features and audio tech to offer premium sound to casual listeners and audiophiles alike.
Sony debuted the Signature Series Walkman models in 2016 and brought it to India a couple of years back. Now, the company has unveiled two new Signature Series Walkman models – the NW-WM1ZM2 and the NW-WM1AM2, with a number of attractive features.
Both models come with a 5-inch HD touchscreen and support Sony’s S-Master HX digital amp technology that has been specifically designed for the Walkmans. Moreover, the company now used thick KIMBER KABLE wiring from the amp base to the balanced headphone jack of the higher-end NW-WM1ZM2 that enable the devices to “shut out external noise, transmit high-quality audio signals, and achieve powerful and smooth sound quality.”
Apart from these, the new features of the Sony Walkman Signature Series are the support for Android 11 and Wi-Fi technology. Users can also customize the home screen of their devices, thanks to the Walkman Home Screen suite. And thanks to Wi-Fi support, users would be able to stream and download songs from third-party music streaming platforms.
Coming to the price of the Sony Walkman Signature Series, the gold-plated Sony NW-WM1ZM2 retails at a whopping price of $4,200 (~Rs 3,15,000), while the lower-end, aluminum-based NW-WM1AM2 costs $1,600 (~Rs 1,20,00).
