My unrequited love affair with the Sony NWZ-S638 Walkman | MP3 Insider - CNET Reviews |
I think you mean the "non-noise cancelling" players, since the canal phones do reduce outside noise.
That article is pointless, and even misleading:
- How can he know what it feels like in his hand (and sound like) if he's never even seen one?
- It will be available in 16 GB capacity
- According to the Sony sites, I believe it will be available in BLACK only for the 8 and 16 gb models, at least in the US.
Also, I have to disagree with the poster above that the adjustable Clear Bass on the adjustable EQ does not work well. Like just about every other review I've seen, I think it sounds great - tight, non-distorted bass. Helps to boost the bass a little when there is background noise while walking around, on the subway, etc.
