Supreme personal audio experience

First and foremost, the Walkman^® Z Series is about premium sound. Originally developed for Sony’s home cinema systems, the integrated S-Master MX digital amplifier technology by Sony greatly reduces noise levels and distortion, enhancing all your favourite tunes.

You’re also in for a treat with the best-ever Walkman^® in-ear experience, thanks to the full range of 5 Clear Audio Technologies; S-Master MX, Clear Bass, Clear Stereo, DSEE(Digital Sound Enhancement Engine), and EX headphones.

Exploring your music collection is beautifully intuitive. Touch the distinctive W.BUTTON to launch the unique W.Control app. Flick through your music collection, browse cover art or enjoy eye-catching on-screen visualisations. The Walkman^® Z Series even sorts your music collection using SensMe™ – just pick from a choice of 14 mood-themed channels to suit the time of day or the way you feel.

Boundless discovery

You don’t need a PC to discover a new world of music experiences. With Wi-Fi built in, Walkman^® Z Series connects you directly with millions of songs¹ and dozens of channels brought to you by Music Unlimited, the cloud-based streaming service from Sony Entertainment Network.

The Walkman^® Z Series is also the first mobile entertainment player from Sony that’s powered by Android™. Enjoy a generous choice of pre-installed apps, and get more from the ever-growing range at Android Market™.
