When I was growing up, we didn’t have MP3 players. So if we wanted to listen to music, we used Sony Walkmans that took cassette tapes. And you had to go to a store to buy those tapes as there was no Internet and iTunes to buy music from.
Ah yes. Those were the days.
Well, it seems that the Walkman is back as Sony has announced a new Walkman at CES. Dubbed the Walkman ZX2, it sports these specs:
- 128GB of storage with a MicroSD slot for expansion.
- Android 4.2 Jelly Bean…. Which was state of the art two years ago.
- Music formats supported include DSD, WAV, AIFF, FLAC, Apple Lossless, and more.
- Bluetooth with high fidelity streaming and NFC for one-touch connection to speakers and headphones. WiFi for remote playback via DLNA.
- Up to 60 hours of playback from the battery.
The price tag? $1200 a copy when it hits stores this spring. It’s aimed at audiophiles, but I seriously can’t think of anyone who would pay that kind of money for this device. But who knows. Maybe it will be a home run for Sony.
