Sony is smoking Crack.
I would buy it if it came with an Nvidia graphics card
The cheaper models can probably do 99% of what the top model can, so there are big diminishing returns. But it’s audiophile equipment, so they are not really meant for iPod customers. Sony knew they could not compete in that segment.
My phone does that too
totally b*llshit…. NEVER sony again for me… they are only want more money. they totally dont care about people. See PS5. Bye Sony! NEVER again.
And that price is exactly why no one cares
Then he will play baby by Justin Bieber
Only 50 bucks to make
i'll wait for some knockoff by a cheap brand … teenage engineering, lol.
The real crazy thing is how much it actually costs to make it.
No thanks….
Gimmick smartphone
5k for a music player that has a screen but you can’t listen to the screen is very delusional.
Fine, it's for audiophile with big pockets, but what about the general masses, that "cheap" one is not cheap!
I’ll just stick with my KLIM Nomad CD player!
All copper is oxygen free! You cannot make copper with oxygen that's not how any of that works….. This is the same as Sony saying that this Walkman is healthy for you because it is gluten-free. And in regards to upsampling music there is an old programmer saying garbage in garbage out. The new saying should not be garbage in enhanced garbage out
Pass…
and then you listen with your bluetooth earbuds 😭
This made me angry more than anthing
Worthlessssssss
Oh yes they are out there and they will fall for this 😅
scam
imma plug my temu headphone in that thing
These aren’t walkmans. A walkman was high end but it was still meant to be cheap enough for most kids to be able to get one. This is a pisstake.
I still keep a 90s walkman, and it still works. For me this is for serious collectors. 😅
5k? At this price, it better come with an Alexandra Daddario attached.
As a sound engineer this is useless
Just got into the "walkman" game, and let me say that there are some significant cheaper, around $300 for a device that only plays music and it's built on it.
Who’s the crazy person would buy this?
So it's a specialized smartphone?
I can buy a car and drive around listening to music 🎶 for this price
It will sound no different from a 100$ good dac amp
gold plated?! loooool
