Sony NWWM1A Overview
The black NW-WM1A Walkman from Sony is a high-resolution digital music player featuring audiophile-quality playback with Bluetooth compatibility, a 4.0″ capacitive touchscreen, 128GB of internal storage, and an aluminum alloy frame that’s resistive to electrical noise and other interference for stable, high-quality sound.

Other enhancements include an upgraded audio pathway, oxygen-free cables, MELF resistors, and a high-polymer capacitor that works to regulate the power flow, optimizing it for instant clean power when needed.
The player supports music files up to 32-bit/384 kHz and is compatible with the following formats; MP3, WMA, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, AAC, Apple Lossless, and DVD. Additional storage is available via the microSD card. The battery fully charges in 7 hours, while the playback time boasts up to 33 hours for MP3s and 30 hours for high resolution file formats. The Walkman ships with a USB cable and a wrist strap.
