Sony Walkman W250 (NWZ-W252) Review

 

Dealing with headphone cables can sometimes be a pain, especially when you are using it while active. One solution many have tried is by going wireless Bluetooth but sound quality was always hurt. You also still had to deal with a player and a set of...

What I like the most about the W250 is the form factor. It was rather liberating not having to struggle with a long headphone cord connected to a player. It was nice to be able to grab once piece of the audio puzzle and head out the door. Sony did a...

Gadgetell Review: Sony Walkman NWZ-W252 Water Resistant MP3 Player

 

What is being reviewed? Sony Walkman NWZ-W252 Water Resistant MP3 Player, which currently retails for $59.95. The specs 2GB of storage space Weight: 1.6 ounces Charging time: 3 minutes for 90 minutes of playback or 1.5 hours for a full charge Overall...

I have used the Walkman W series for about two weeks now and can easily see it becoming a regular part of my running gear. I also would not hesitate to recommend this style of MP3 player, or more specifically the W series WZ-W252 Walkman.

Sony NWZ–W252

 

Sony has made a name for itself when it comes to music on the move, offering stunning products with incredible music quality. The Sony NWZ-W252 continues this trend, but packs all the technology into a set of wearable earphones. The good With the Sony...

The Sony NWZ–W252 is an impressive bit of kit. Sure, the earphones are more bulky than a regular pair, but it's ideal for training or keeping fit, where you don't want wires to get in the way. Sony NWZ–W252 is tagged with Sony NWZ–W252, MP3 player and...

Review: Sony NWZ-W252 Walkman – a water resistant portable music player

 

Water resistant, Decent sound quality, Superior sports design, Hassle free and user friendly, just put it on and go, Windows PC and Mac OS supported

Bulky when not in use, No fast forward, Offers limited bass

The NWZ-W252 continues the successful legacy of the W Series first laid out by the W202. It remains to be superior at what its been designed to do. While some may argue that its pricetag of around £50 is far too expensive for a 2GB portable music...

Good Idea, Bad Execution

 

When it works, it works well. Just load your music and put it on and exercise. It's a little bulky and could/should be slimmed down. Also, it died in less than a year. Can't seem to keep a charge.

Design, Easy to Use

I Love This Thing

 

Yes, I work for Sony, but I still have to say that I love this Walkman. I always struggled with being tethered to my computer to listen to music. Plenty of space for my music. Runs all day on one charge. I've owned many others, but this one is my...

Greatest MP3 Player I've had to date!

 

I used this for a long time while pushing carts. The battery would last me AT LEAST 2 days of work before I would recharge it. My only complaint is the capacity, I would love to see a new one with 4 or even 6 GB memory. But still, all-in-all a great buy.

Very Water Resistant, Very good battery-life

Small memory
