Sony NWZ-W252 (2GB)

Sony NWZ-W252

This device is part of the Sony W-series that offers a compact headphone style MP3 player for fitness enthusiasts. The NWZ-W252’s design is pretty basic, and the device weighs only 47g, which is good during workouts. One of the major concerns during exercising is the device not fitting correctly, and hence falling out occasionally. But the Sony NWZ-W252 takes care of that pretty well, and the device never fell off when it was tested while walking, jogging or during jumping jacks. Three different sizes of eartips are included in the package, but their fixed size may cause some concern to the users. Music can be played in alphanumeric order or shuffled via the shuffle switch. The other buttons on the player are volume control ones, and a jog dial to browse tracks. The audio quality is quite good, and features like Zappin (which allows the user to play a snippet of tracks while browsing) add a nice touch. The battery life is a little disappointing, at 11 hours, but the quick charge feature (three minutes charge for 90 minutes of playback) works well. One of the best features of the Sony W2F2 is its water resistance, as tests showed that it worked perfectly well even after being held under a water tap for a whole minute. The device is great for exercise junkies and outdoor lovers, who want a clear audio experience during their exercise routine.

Sony Walkman NWZ-B153

The Sony NWZ-B153 is an extension of the NWZ-B-series of MP3 players, whose lipstick form factor guarantees convenience along with comfort. Design wise, it is similar to other B series of Sony MP3 players, but has a new navigational wheel. The LCD is small, but appropriate for browsing playlists and menus. The shiny surface is prone to finger smudges but they don’t really show due to the buttons covering most of the body surface. The NWZ-B153 ships with a 4GB internal memory and a fully-charged playback time of 18 hours. The quick charge feature enables the device to charge up for 90 minutes of playback, by powering it up for only three minutes. It would have been better if the Sony NWZ-B153 supported other audio formats besides just MP3 and WMA. The battery takes one hour to charge fully, and the quick charge feature also works as promised.
