Walkman X Wins EISA Award[/size]
Date: Friday, 11 September 2009
The European Imaging and Sound Association has announced the Sony Walkman X series NWZ-X1050/1060 as winning the European Personal Media Player 2009–10 award
The Sony X Series player has a 75mm OLED touch screen plus built-in Digital Noise Cancelling, an S-Master digital amplifier, plus DSEE and Clear Audio Technologies. It also offers wi-fi for YouTube streaming and browsing the web. The EISA Judging Panel commented: ‘This is the world’s first media player with noise-cancellation in-ear phones, which effectively cuts background noise. Loading files on the unit is easy. Also easy is to navigate and to play them. In addition there is a Wi-Fi connection for browsing the web, for direct podcast downloading or for watching YouTube while, for example, listening to an FM radio station. The device supports a huge collection of media file formats, including MP3, Linear PCM and AVC (H.264/AVC). In either of its two versions, 16GB (NWZ-X1050) and 32GB (NWZ-X1060), this player offers excellent sound, a beautiful GUI and very good video performance.’
‘This result at the 2009–2010 EISA Awards proves that Sony’s product innovation is of the highest global standard,’ said Paul Colley, Technology Communications Manager at Sony Australia. ‘Even though the EISA Awards are given to European products, Sony’s Australian customers can be confident that their purchase has been endorsed by an independent, highly respected source.’ The NWZX1060F sells for $699 and the NWZX1050F for $549. Both models have been on sale in Australia for some time.
EISA is the largest editorial multimedia organisation in Europe, with a membership of nearly 50 audio, mobile electronics, video and photo magazines from 20 European countries. This year’s award winners were selected after the deliberations of a judging panel comprising journalists and independent technical experts.
