The Sony NW-A35 Walkman Offers Up to 45 Hours of Playback

— September 22, 2017 — Tech
Dedicated music players like the iPod and Walkman from Sony were believed to be lessening in popularity given the rise of smartphones, but the Sony NW-A35 Walkman identifies a continued interest in the devices.

The new Walkman offers Hi-Res Audio playback, a touchscreen display and a 45 hour battery pack that will enable it to outlast any smartphone when it comes to playing your favorite tunes.

It's well-known that the quality of audio on smartphones is dramatically lower in quality than what's possible on computers.

The unit also boasts Bluetooth connectivity to let you stream the music to a nearby speaker.

3. Wireless Connectivity - With the growing popularity of wireless audio devices, incorporating Bluetooth connectivity into dedicated music players allows for seamless streaming and opens up possibilities for integrating with other smart devices.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - The consumer electronics industry can capitalize on the demand for high-resolution audio MP3 players by developing innovative devices that offer superior audio quality and enhanced features.
2. Audio Technology - The audio technology industry has an opportunity to innovate by creating advanced audio codecs and compression algorithms to enhance the quality of high-resolution audio playback on dedicated music players.
