Walkman NWZ-WS613
Sports lovers can energize with the perfect soundtrack as they run, bench-press or swim with the new Walkman WS613 with Bluetooth - complete with its own handy ring-type remote commander.
Sony's latest-generation waterproof[1], wearable MP3 player is designed for a comfortable, wrap around, secure fit while pounding the track or the streets - with no wires to slow you down. Cleverly-designed earbuds offer snug wear and crisp sound during that morning pool session or post-workout shower.
The handy ring-type remote commander controls music playback and lets users accept calls while on the move. The low-power wireless technology of this user-friendly remote commander enables extended use without ever having to worry about charging the battery.
For the first time, Walkman WS613 doubles as a wearable Bluetooth headset, giving users extra choice for their tunes by wirelessly listening to their music straight from a smartphone while jogging or working out.
The choice is yours: listen to music stored in Walkman's memory, or stream sound wirelessly from Internet services like Music Unlimited, Spotify, and YouTube via your smartphone. No need to miss any notifications from your fitness apps or any other notices from your smartphone while you are exercising, the SoundMix function cleverly blends music listening with the audio from your smartphone's apps.
The Walkman WS613 devices include the SongPal app functionality, allowing easy and intuitive control of compatible Sony audio devices. It can even access, select and playback the music files stored on the mobile device. Simply install the app on a mobile phone and take control of music playback, including device settings and more - all through one app. With built-in AAC and apt-X® codec support, users will benefit from maximized signal quality when streaming music wirelessly.
Bluetooth Headsets
The MDR-XB950BT Extra Bass Bluetooth Headset, MDR-AS800BT Active Sports Bluetooth Headset and MDR-ZX550BN Bluetooth Noise Canceling Headset offer wireless listening on the go. All headsets are also compatible with hands-free calling via Bluetooth.
The MDR-XB950BT Bluetooth offers wireless freedom, nestle comfort, and unmistakable bass response, adding up to an unforgettable audio experience. The 40mm driver units with the Electro Bass Booster function will add punch and accentuates lows to club-like levels to one's favorite tracks. Connect via Bluetooth with NFC and let music loose for up to 20 hours anytime anywhere. When battery has run out, connect with the included headphone cable for wired headphone use.
The small and lightweight splash-proof[1] MDR-AS800BT Bluetooth allows sports lovers to wirelessly listen on the go or at the gym. It can be worn conventionally, or flipped for an even more secure-fitting with the cable wrapped neatly behind your ear. Hands tied while at the gym? Experience the ease of one button operation while on the move.
The MDR-ZX550BN Bluetooth Noise Canceling Headset features built-in noise canceling and convenient audio streaming for the best valued audio experience. The Noise Canceling function reduces 90% of ambient noise and boasts long lasting battery life[2]. The headphone's swivel design folds away neatly for space-saving storage while you're on the go.
