Sony's Psyc Network Walkman takes all of the requirements for a durable sports player and smoothly blends them into an affordable digital music system that directly competes with devices like the iPod shuffle.
The star of this portable lightweight unit is the battery life. Unlike every other player available on the market today, the Sony Psyc Walk man can last for up to 70 hours on one battery, which is up to 7 times more than the iPod Shuffle and similar competing mp3 players.
This gives this stylish device an edge for anyone wanting to take advantage of going on long car trips with their few favorite songs without needing to buy many batteries in order to have access to music.
This Psyc Network Walkman comes with 512 megs of flash memory which provides crystal clear skip-free music. With this amount of space, you can store roughly 120 songs. Unlike previous Sony products, the Psyc can play MP3, ATRAC and ATRAC3 files as well as WMA and WAV formats. This is a drastic improvement over previous systems that only could play Sony's file format.
Directly out of the box, the Sony walk man player has a distinct advantage: unlike most players available on the market, the included earphones, while not perfect, do the excellent quality of the music played some justice. This means that you can purchase your download your music to it, and start listening in comfort immediately without having to make additional investments unless you choose to.
In order to use the Sony Psyc Walkman player, you will need to own a computer running Windows. It is not compatible with Mac systems.
