Salam, hi! I've been using the NWZ-A15 Walkman for quite some time and here's what I have to say about it:
In terms of design, it has absolutely been revolutionized in comparison to the first ever Walkman: It is now super-cute, slick, light and the metal matte finishing makes it look very exclusive. Measuring 109x43.6x8.8mm and weighing only 66g, the portability makes you want to carry this high-res music player everywhere. After all, it is the world’s smallest and lightest high-res music player, as claimed by Sony!
Having an admirable design makes users questions on whether the features are worthy enough, and of course, they won’t be disappointed. The NWZ-A15 walkman has a S-Master HX digital amplifier for high-res, which allows users to convert low-res audio files to near high-res. How awesome is that? The feature list goes on and on with the Near-field communication (NFC), FM radio and Bluetooth. It also has a micro SD port to expand the 16GB internal storage capacity. The 2.2in, 320x240 pixels screen shows a great user-friendly display.
I had the privilege to listen using the MDR-1A headphones and it sounds insightful and brilliant no matter how loud your surroundings are. There are also many ways to play with the sound through the options menu in the music playback screen. There is the lyrics display, the Dance/Karaoke mode, as well as the ClearAudio+ feature, which widens the stereo image and dynamics.
All in all, the NWZ-A15 walkman is all-rounder affordable high-res music player suitable for every music lover! Worth the buy! :)
