Get ready for soul-shaking audio experience with new Walkman

Manila, Philippines - Designed for music lovers, by music lovers, the next-generation Walkman NWZ-F800 mobile entertainment player delivers soul-shaking audio clarity, turning music and video into a joyful experience wherever you go.

With strong emphasis on audio quality, audiophiles will appreciate what Sony has achieved in the NWZ-F800’s core user experience of superior sound quality driven by the premium S-Master MX digital amplifier and four other Clear Audio technologies (Clear Stereo, Clear Bass, DSEE and EX headphone) from Sony.

The NWZ-F800 offers brilliantly accurate sound reproduction with enriched stereo image, tight bass and crystal clear highs.

It also features the Clear Phase technology which ensures reduced distortion and increased sound presence — in other words, outstanding high quality sound in a portable audio device.

The NWZ-F800 matches superb sound with an equally entertaining AV user experience. Fun features such as SenseMe channels analyze your music and sort them according to mood; lyrics are displayed so you can sing along to your favourite tunes; and Visualizers and Cover Art View provide brilliant visuals on the vibrant 3.5-inch WVGA multi-touch screen LCD, bringing you closer to your music.

Powerful NVIDIA Tegra II dual-core processor and Google Android 4.0 platform open the door to a universe of choices for music aficionados to get the most out of their music — a perfect package of sound and fun wherever they go.

“Along with the recently launched Z1000 Walkman, the NWZ-F800 joins our family of multi-app Walkman mobile entertainment devices, bringing a powerful combination of unbelievable sound and exceptional UX (User Experience) design,” said Sydney Lee, general manager of the Personal Entertainment Division, Consumer Business Group of Sony Electronics Asia-Pacific.

“Discerning and savvy music lovers have been coveting a dedicated digital media player for music and rich multimedia content separate from their smartphones and the NWZ-F800 delivers on all fronts,” Lee added.

Music has never been this convenient to listen to. The W.button on the NWZ-F800 gives you instant access to music playback, no matter what task you are currently engaged in. With one press, the W.button launches W.Control, which lets you play, stop, skip forward or backward, and view additional track information without interrupting your activity.

Housed in a compact aluminium body, the NWZ-F800 also includes FLAC support for true CD-quality sound, 512MB memory, GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and up to 25 hours of music playback.

The NWZ-F800 will be available in black and red in 8GB and 16GB, and black in 32GB. It will retail in Sony stores and authorized outlets in October.
