A few weeks ago I received an email notification from Klout. The notification offered to give me a klout perk. Now, I have gotten these notifications before and mostly ignored them. However, this perk was for something that very much interested me – A Sony Walkman W!
Now, don’t get me wrong I love my iPod. I love the versatility of that little 8gb music machine – it works in my car, it works to feed the music in my house and it’s portable. But the thing it doesn’t do well is workout with me. I am forever untangling wires. I position them and reposition them. Invariably during some position of my workout I drop the ipod and scramble to grab it before it hits the floor (often while maintaining on the treadmill).
Which is why I was so excited to be offered a Sony Walkman W!
You see, this isn’t the Walkman of the 70s (which I still have by the way)! This new Walkman has NO WIRES!
That’s right everything is self-contained in the earpiece.
I know what you are thinking, and I shared your concern. How heavy is it? I also worried that the 2 gig of memory would leave me feeling shortchanged.
I’ve been checking my box religiously – Awaiting the arrival of my new toy – Anxious to see if the hype is reality.
My Sony Walkman W arrived on Wednesday!
I am happy to repost that it’s no heavier than just headphones (or at least not that I can discern). It was easy to drag and drop the tunes I wanted onto the device. I even created playlists. It took no more than a few tries to get the hang of the controls.
This product has been everything it promised. The perfect workout partner!
And the timing couldn’t be better, as I am but a mear FOUR DAYS away from registering for my first ever marathon – the Disney Marathon! I am incredibly excited and am sure the 9 months will fly by and I am looking forward to training hard with my Sony Walkman W pumping some great tunes and inspiration into my ears.
Note: I received this product free from Klout. I have not been paid for my opinion. I do have the opportunity to upgrade this product to the waterproof version if I create enough social media buzz around it. However, if I didn’t like the product I would not be interested in owning another.
