CNET has conducted an excellent review of the new S-Series Walkman, and states that the device “..is nicely designed and has a high-quality feel; it offers a load of cool extras such as integrated noise-canceling, an FM tuner, podcast support, and a smart playlist creator. The display is bright and crisp, and the interface is customizable and easy to navigate. The player sounds great right out of the box and features several sound-enhancement options. It has Rhapsody DNA and works flawlessly with Amazon Video On Demand.”
However, they feel that the “The S-Series Walkman maxes out at 8GB and doesn’t include memory expansion.” Which has been a common complaint amongst most comments left here at Sony Insider and other Internet venues. They continue, “The packaged earbuds, which are necessary for the noise-cancellation feature, may not be comfortable for all users. There’s no voice recording option.”
In summation, CNET says “Thanks to excellent sound quality, integrated noise-canceling functionality, and several smart music sorting options, the Sony S-Series Walkman is a superb choice for music aficionados.”
