Sony just announced the new Walkman W Series model NWZ-W252, another one of Sony’s wearable designs with the player built into earphones. At $60, it’s a steal–and yet another compelling alternative to the iPod shuffle.
The player comes with 2GB of storage and the ability to organize your music via included Content Transfer software. You could also just load it up via Windows Media Player, however. It also supports non-DRM AAC files from iTunes. Sony claims it is water-resistant and can function perfectly even in a downpour.
The rated battery life is 11 hours, and Sony claims you can get 90 minutes of battery life after only 3 minutes of charge time. We can’t wait to put the NWZ-W252 to the test this spring–look for a full review in the coming weeks at PCMag.com
