This Sony Psyc Network Walkmanis the most cost effective portable digital music player currently available from Sony.
The system, weighing practically nothing, is a circular 2 inch player that looks and feels remarkably like a thick wrist watch. With a clear display, you can view one song at a time, which is a drastic improvement compared to systems with displays like the Apple iPod Shuffle.
While at first, the buttons and menus may seem a little weird, the system is easy to adjust to, and includes the ability to play a small selection of your favorite songs with ease. Due to this, and the 70 hour battery life, this player makes an excellent choice for beginners. While it has a slight learning curve, it comes with everything required to get on the road quickly without needing additional accessories.
When you purchase your own Sony NW-E103PS, you will find that the system comes directly out of the box with a surprisingly high sound quality. Many players on the market, especially ones geared more towards beginners, will have the capacity to play high quality songs but are massively crippled by low quality ear buds or head phones.
This is not the case with this breed of Sony Walkman. While the ear buds could be better, they provide an excellent quality of sound directly out of the box. You can choose to buy better headphones or ear buds if you choose, of course, but it is not a true requirement for this player.
The Sony Psyc line of players can play MP3, WAV, WMA, ATRAC and ATRAC3 sound files. This is several more file types than most systems will play, which works to give it yet another advantage in the market. This is the first Sony player to support the MP3 file type. In order to be able to use this line of Walk man, you will need to have access to a computer running Windows. It is not compatible with MacOS based computers.
