After unpacking I noticed once on the weight. The headset is a little heavier than normal headphones, but this does not have an adverse effect when worn. It all feels very valuable and looks in black with subtle red accents chic. On the back of the ear cups you will find the typical Sony Walkman sign which lights up during operation. It can also turn off, however.
On one ear can be found above a small hole. Using a sharp object you can reset the Walkman there. In addition, there sits the power switch and an output switch for headphones or speakers operating. Below sits the operating lamp (OPR indicator), the micro-USB connector, headphone jack (3.5 jack) and the sound / Illumination button. Illumination turns off the lights and sound you have three possible sound settings. For more bass more treble.
On the other ear is below the shuffle / playlist button with which you can switch between Shuffle and all songs. In addition, there is the volume button and a slider with which one controls the playback. Press briefly and starts the music. Press and hold for 1 second and the Zappin playback starts. Right or left drag to skip to the next track or voherigen or more than 1 second to the right or left drag to move to the next or previous folder. The entries are confirmed by a pleasant voice. If you switch to the next folder, for example, you can hear a short folder Next. Located just above the earcups, then the stereo speakers that sound pretty good in operation. So you can listen to music together with friends then. But I would not recommend to lie the Walkman around her neck. I think that's very cramped.
Charging takes about 2 hours and you have about 14 GB of memory available for his music. This player is compatible with MP3, WMA, WAV and MP4 files. The padding on the ear cups are soft and then with me even after prolonged not wear. The battery will hold approximately 20 hours. An exact indication I can not do I can say ... but he keeps very long already here. The operation of a player is very simple and fast through the blood. You can use the Walkman from Sony as a simple earphone and connect to the enclosed headphone cable with other players.
By connecting the Walkman to your PC, you can install the Media Go software, but you do not. Another possible, pull music to the player by drag and drop. I installed the handbook, and then finishes the installation program.
Now the sound. Class I can only say. Beautiful Clean highs and a powerful, rich bass. No matter what kind of music it plays, it all sounds really good at. I like to hear music synthesizer. Since you can really see the beautiful surround sound. But even disco music (preferably with the housework) or panpipe (Relaxing) sounds great.
What little the volume control is bothering me like incorporating into their devices to the hearing to protect the Sony. When you reach the specified level, a warning signal sounds. If you press then any key to turn off the and you can then adjust the volume higher. However, then comes every time you increase the volume by one level a tone. After 20 hours, the fixed volume level automatically switches on again. Well ... do you protect your hearing when the Walkman after the beep not loud but represents who does that. Who wants to hear loud music, doing it. Whether it is or not this warning. But OK. That's my own personal opinion and does not detract from the value of these headphones.
I'm just glad that I can finally listen to music with the housework, without the hassle of wires, with which I anyway was stuck everywhere. Well ... you can hear music from your phone via Bluetooth Bluetooth sucks but the battery is empty and you have also always somewhere with your smartphone. The 3-in-1 Walkman from Sony for me is simply an ingenious solution and then even with such a good sound. What more do you want. From me there full 5 stars.
