“Designed fortoday’s active lifestyles, the Walkman W252 is the first wire-free MP3 playerfrom Sony that resists rain splashes or the sweat of a gruelling gym session. Afterexercising, just rinse under the tap – or even keep listening during a post-workoutshower.

The latest Sony Walkman has a 2GBcapacity and provides storage space for around 470 tunes. It also comes bundledwith the 13.5mm EX Series headphones, which are also camouflaged, in case youneed to hide your ears.

A three-minute charge gives enough powerfor 90 minutes listening time. And the full battery will give you 11 hours oflistening time.
