There was a lot of talk at CES 2015 about the possible announcement of a new Sony Walkman and that anticipation has finally been rewarded. The ZX2 model of the Sony Walkman is a step up from the ZX1 in all the ways that matter. Ross Miller of The Verge essentially writes a love letter to it, "I love the texture of its matte black casing. I love the playback buttons carved into its curved side--in the little time I've had to hold the device, my fingers curled right onto the play, pause, and rewind. It's heavier than you'd initially expect, in a good way. It's solid."
Although the Sony Walkman ZX2 might look like an all-in-one device that could rival smartphones, it is made with quality audio in mind.
