Noise Cancelling Technology included in Sony’s new S700 Series Walkman
Is this going to be the next battle in the MP3 player arena? Read on and find out for yourself.
The new Walkman S700 Series introduced by Sony is expected to be able to mount a new challenge to Apple’s dominant iPod MP3 player…at least that is what the top brass at Sony had hopes for with this new product launch. Sony is betting on its noise-cancelling technology, a facility which literally cuts down background noise that will produce crystal clear sound for an excellent music experience.
While Sony has offered noise cancelling headphones before, this is the first time that the Japanese giant has integrated the technology into the player itself. What does this mean to average consumer like you and me? Well, for one we don’t have to spend more money buying noise cancelling headphones to complement the sound quality of a non-noise cancelling player. It kind of kills two birds with one stone MP3 player….if you know what I mean.
Having such a nice player means you need lots of power for extended fulfillment of your joys listening to your favorite songs. The S700 series has really got it going on when it comes to battery stamina with a massive 50 hours playback. If only I can last that long….! That’s right, I went there. The S700 series also comes with FM radio and is available in 1GB, 2GB and 4GB versions.
Mr. Steve Jobs is probably already talking to his engineers and designers in Cupertino….maybe telling them how nice the sound quality of the S700 series?

Yes, it is a great device. Hopefully, Sony can market it as a MP3 player rather than “atrac” device. Sonicstage4.2 allows you to transfer in almost all the main format. For 4GB, about 20 odd CD using atrac lossless, it more than enough for most audiophile. The noise cancelling headsets + FM + is definetely a big plus. Downside? you can’t use it as a voice recorder. No in line recording for FM. That’s the BIG minus.
The voice recording would have been a big selling point to many college going teenage.
