Sony NW-A25 NW-A25 BLUETOOTH & NOISE-CANCELLING PORTABLE HI-RES AUDIO WALKMAN 8 GB MP3 Player(CINNABAR RED, 2.2 Display)

Moving portable music another step forward - Sony's Walkman cassette player was most prized possession for many music listeners at earlier days. No car trip was too short to drown pre-teen angst in the music on well-worn tapes. Those tapes have been replaced by a huge digital music collection, and Sony has reinvented the Walkman to play all of them. Their NWZ-A25 Hi-Res Walkman is hardly the first portable digital music player. But it's the first we've seen that combines high-resolution playback, an incredibly compact design, and a very affordable price. Most smartphones and portable players can't compete with the 'A25's rich, robust sound quality, expandable storage, and versatile playback capability. Pair it with a great set of headphones, and you may discover new life in your favorite digital tunes.Hear Your Colours - Distinctive styling, refined materials and a tactile finish make the NW-A25 series a joy to look at and a pleasure to handle. Give every track the headspace it deserves. Coupling the hear-to-believe clarity of High-Resolution Audio with premium Noise Cancelling headphones, the NW-A25 series puts you at the heart of the music you love. High-Resolution Audio compatible Noise Cancelling mutes distractions from the world outside, so it’s just you and your music.High-resolution playback offers more detailed, engaging sound - Like going from standard definition to HD video, High-Resolution Audio tracks are far higher quality than MP3s and even CDs, letting you hear every breath, every drumbeat, every note. If you've got high-resolution digital music sitting on your computer, wouldn't you like a way to play them on the go? The NW-A25 frees those files from your hard drive, so you can take them anywhere. This player's high-resolution digital-to-analog converter can play high-res files in their native resolution — up to 24-bit/192kHz — for better-than-CD sound that offers exquisite detail and spacious sound. (You can download high-res tunes from sites like HDtracks). The 'A25 is also compatible with FLAC, Apple Lossless, and other formats. If you've got lossy MP3s, Sony's Digital Sound Enhancement Engine can help them sound fuller.144GB of music in your pocket - To call the 'A25 Hi-Res Walkman "pocket-sized" may actually do it a disservice. This player is flat-out tiny, yet it can still hold lots of music. There's 16GB of built-in storage, plus a microSD card slot, which can accommodate up to a 128GB card. That gives you up to 144GB of storage — lots of room for high-resolution files as well as CD-quality files and compressed formats like MP3.Intuitive, elegant interface - It's doubtful you'll ever need the manual to navigate the NW-A25's full-color interface. Transferring files on and off the player is just as easy, with drag-and-drop functionality that works without any special software. Another impressive feature is this player's extended battery life — up to 50 hours of playback! Good luck finding a smartphone or just about anything with such a powerful battery.Bluetooth compatible for wireless listening - If you want to listen to the NW-A25 wirelessly, it's easy thanks to built-in Bluetooth. Pick up a Bluetooth Speaker and stream your music wirelessly from the 'A25. It's also great for use with Bluetooth Headphones, for enjoying tunes without dangling cords. This player offers high-quality aptX playback as well as one-touch NFC pairing with compatible devices. Enjoy high quality music streaming thanks to LDAC, Sony's premium wireless codec. With 3x the bitrate of standard Bluetooth, you can enjoy a superior listening experience for all your music.DSEE HX, S-MASTER HX, ClearAudio+ - DSEE HX upscales compressed audio files to a quality that's closer to High-Resolution Audio. By restoring the subtleties of the original recording that are lost during the compression process, DSEE HX delivers a rich, studio-quality audio experience for your music. Uniquely developed for High-Resolution Audio, Sony’s S-Master HX digital amplifier technology reproduces every track’s subtleties and details, and also reduces distortion and noise across a wide frequency range – for fuller, lifelike sound. Experience clean bass, crisp highs, and consistent volume levels across all tracks with ClearAudio+.
