30 Sep 08 Sony Walkman MP3 Players: B-Series
While all the other companies that create MP3 players try to make their product have a futuristic design, Sony is against that and goes for the vintage look that Walkmans had in the late 80’s. In this case we’re talking about their “new” MP3 players, the B-Series.
As you can see by the image, the B-Series look like something of the past, it doesn’t have any resemblance to an iPod or Creative player. The big size is probably caused by the USB interface, so you have the “Plug and Play” function and can easily transfer files to a PC or Mac.
In terms of sound quality, the reviewers at C-Net gave an “OK” score, which means it could be better, right? The player can have 1GB or 2GB of internal (flash) memory, FM radio, voice recording, and a tiny display.
The battery only takes about 1 hour to recharge and provides 16 hours of non-stop sound.
What about the price? $50 for the 1GB version, and if you add $10 ($60 total) just buy the 2GB model.

dear SONY…..i have bought a brand new sony walkman b-series at HYPERCITY – hyderabad. when i came back to home and opened it ….the display is a damaged one…..i can hear the music but can’t see the display. i don’t know what is the actual problem…..i have bought other electronic products at hypercity and there was some or other problems in these electronic products. i have a doubt whether hypercity sell only damaged pieces…..and it creates a bad reputation to brands like SONY. Does sony give any warranty if we buy products at places like hypercity and tata croma…..i just want to know whether these malls are authorised distributors for SONY or not….and what should i do to solve my problem, can i get that product to any of sony showrooms….can i get any replacement since it is not even 24 hours that i bought it and i have a 1 year warranty card on it…….and plz let me know in future if i want to buy SONY product where should i go? i am planning to buy a SONY handicam and digital SLR camera….plz suggest me as soon as possible.
thank you
