Portable music motherfucker! Do you know who made it?]]>Sep 4th 2009 8:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/Sep 4th 2009 7:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/
Looks quite promising for the market it's aimed it and it's drag and drop.]]>Sep 4th 2009 7:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/Sep 4th 2009 7:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/Sep 4th 2009 8:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/
Phone manufacturers have committed themselves to a common standard for a good reason.]]>Sep 4th 2009 8:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/
why would you have to charge your mp3 player at your friends house, doesn't that defeat the purpose of having friends on the first place?
Secondly if you bought an iPod virtually everyone has at least 1 cord for it so anywhere you go you can charge it- heck I always have my cord in my back pocket because my iPhone hits 20% half way through my shift Ar work]]>Sep 4th 2009 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/
And no, not all my friends have iPods (in fact almost none do, because they don't like overpaying for low functionality either), whereas everyone who has at least a digital camera will have a mini-USB cable. I have something like six, from various gadgets, and they're all interchangeable, which is awesome.]]>Sep 4th 2009 12:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/
I got her a Cowon D2 and she loves it. I was considering a Sony because they claimed to support drag and drop except it required a special driver install and took a special cable. Does this model need that too?]]>Sep 4th 2009 2:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/
Yes, seriously. It's a matter of being able to charge/sync the device at any of my four computers and almost any friend's house, or having the player irrevokably run out of juice if I went on a trip and forgot the charger at home.
-----------------
I think you have a desire for replaceable batteries. The whole integrated battery concept is so wrong on so many levels, I will never, ever buy a unit with embedded batteries. Not only for the fact that they are eventually disposable after a few hundred charges and no longer hold suitable charge, but for the fact that I can't switch a battery over anytime it runs out.

Yet their Sony Ericsson Walkman phones all offer removable batteries. Strange, isn't it.

gimme a 32GB and I'd grab it in a heartbeat]]>Sep 4th 2009 7:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/Sep 4th 2009 7:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/Sep 4th 2009 8:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/Sep 4th 2009 7:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/
Sharp originally released Dolby Headphone virtualisation effect on their MD players. The real feeling of 3Dlized amazed a lot of listeners and gained sharp a lot of credit in the market. Then Sony got jealous and tried to copy this technique, and that's where VPT came from. However Sony failed on delivering a true feeling of 3D and clear sound. The muddy, disordered output only leaves VPT a total joke. If you or anyone else ever tried VPT on better headphone than the ones come with the package, or ever listened to the Dolby Headphone effect, you would 100% agree with me.

However my own opinion is that good sound should only comes with true balance, clarity, dynamic and sound stage, keep it real and keep it original, as all the musics had been finely tuned into their best form when they came out of the studio. No EQ, no virtualisation, no fake stuffs. ]]>Sep 5th 2009 1:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/Sep 4th 2009 10:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/Sep 4th 2009 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/Sep 4th 2009 8:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/Sep 4th 2009 9:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/Sep 4th 2009 9:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/Sep 4th 2009 9:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/Sep 4th 2009 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/Sep 4th 2009 9:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/Sep 4th 2009 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/video-hands-on-sonys-walkman-s-series-is-no-mickey-mouse-audio/
I'd like a Megabass, as most SE Walkman phones have, tho.....

Are the MDR-E804Y really good earbuds?
I'd love to have a listen, since their EX range has traditionally been the only ones worthy of being called half-decent, IMO, and these aren't part of that range. Sounds to me like another cheap-sounding bundled earbud! (but happy to be corrected!)

Let's not get carried away by the select few Walkmans Sony HAVE bundled good earphones with here, Thomas.]]>Sep 5th 2009 1:33AM
