The S Series's built-in noise-cancelling technology can reduce up to 75 percent of ambient noise with a simple switch. Perfect for commuters and travellers, the 40-hour battery life (30 with the noise-cancelling function activated) will get you through the day.

Units come with a pair of EX headphones with large 13.5mm driver units, enabling reproduction of pure and live sound similar to professional grade headphones. It also features an adaptor making it compatible with in-flight AV systems.
Available in 8GB or 16GB and emphasising video playback, the S Series has a 2-inch LCD screen with 320 x 240 resolution, high brightness and contrast, as well as good colour reproduction.

The E Series video MP3 player plays up to 45 hours of non-stop music. For video, the player can also cater for up to eight hours of playback on the 2-inch screen. It is available in blue, red, pink, and black and in two capacities (4GB and 8GB).
The limited edition A Series with Bluetooth technology is now available in 4GB, 8GB and 16GB versions and can store up to 62 hours of video or 3,800 songs. These models feature a 2.4 inch LCD screen that delivers smooth, high-resolution video playback. The battery life allows up to ten hours of video playback or 36 hours of uninterrupted music playback.

The series comes coupled with high-performance EX Monitor headphones and street-style Bluetooth headphones, which can also be used with other compatible devices.

All of the S, E and A Series Walkman MP3 players support a wide range of high quality codecs, such as Advanced Video Coding (H.264/AVC) baseline profile, MPEG-4 simple profile, WMV simple and main profile for video; MP3, WMA, Secure WMA, WAV and AAC for music, and JPEG for photos.
