Ah, nostalgia. Does anyone remember when the Sony Walkman first hit the scene? Everyone was like, “What!? A portable music player?! Get out!” It was true, though, and “walkman” almost became a generic term for portable music player.
The latest generation Sony Walkman – the NWZ-S738F (see CNET Review or PC MAG Review) comes in 4GB and 8GB versions. (Couldn’t they have come up with a better name? Sounds like a rejected Star Wars robot name almost.) The thing that makes this MP3 Player special, though, is its good noise cancellation that’s built into the player. It’s not the very top of the line, but it’s better than a lot of other players out there.
From there, though, you get a pretty standard MP3 player. Some around the Internet have said that the user interface is a bit funky. On the other hand, the smart playlist function has been called useful. SensMe Channels are Sony’s way of helping you sort through 8GBs of music more easily.
The MP3 player does have a certain style about it too. It’s not too large and not too small. Almost perfectly sized you could say. The screen is large and bright, allowing you to see your music as you scroll through it or it plays.

Here’s the deal with the new Sony Walkman. If you’re looking for features – like digital voice recording – this isn’t the MP3 player for you. If, on the other hand, you’re a music lover who can tell the difference between good sounding and ok sounding music, this MP3 player will have you rocking and rolling.
Do you have a Sony Walkman (old school) story you’d like to share? Or have you tried the latest Sony Walkman NWZ-S738F? If so, we’d love to hear from you. Leave a comment below and share with the community.
