- These are the new Sony Walkman W series (waterproof), i'm just giving a brief hands on to give you all an idea of what to expect from this Walkman. A review will follow shortly after iv'e put them through their paces.
The lack of cables flapping up and down my neck helped me to run longer! Music feels/sounds like it's coming out from my brain, which is GREAT. Figuring out how to change the playlist was a problem until I read the comments in this thread; thanks guys.
Bought these two days ago and im nothing short of blown away!!!!!! I dont know if they were made specifically for my ears but they are a perfect fit. I just went swimming in the pool for 45 minutes and I were under water for at least half of the time and at no time did the sound become muffled, as i've read lots of consumers having this problem. I can think of no bad thing to say about these headphones other than the lack of bluetooth. Got em on sale for ~89$. Best money i've ever spent for sure
I always use this for exercise and swimming. To get the perfect fit when swimming is to open your mouth when you put it in your ear. It took me for a while to figure this out.
Very nice review ! Music while swimming what a brilliant idea!
Awesomeness, mate!! Thank you very very much. You've given me all the rest of the informations so I can take my final decision on finally purchasing it without blinking (as I am a, loyal and faithful, swim and music lover, at pretty much the same proportion). I appreciate that, much grateful. Cheers. *
thanks for the great review Mark! It helped me to decide for this bad boy. I cannot count the time I ripped my earplugs out while walking the dog (the cats like to play with the cables, too) or how often my MP3 player fell out of a shirt pocket. This is a great design.
There is a diode for whenever you turn it off, if it's green it got plenty of battery, if its yellow/orange it's got aprox. half of battery remaining, if it's red it means it's running low on battery and if it's blinking red it means you need to charge it. And to your other question, no, there is no bass boost button. Not that I think youll need one anyways.
About the charging issue: try pressing the reset button while connected to the PC via USB. This solved my problem.
nice ! thanx
Just tried you advice and it has worked many thanks
Hi, I also have the same problem. Tried the reset button but nothing. Any other tricks ?
Just fix the same issue, nwz-w273 not recognized on any computers.
Can t even charge it on anythings, can 't start it...
Reset button for 5 sec and seems to be good again.
Thx guys
diegopeixoto11 Worked for seconds, then it stopped charging again. Had mine for 2 years never had an issue, until I finally decided to swim with them
I have a pair if you put them on RIGHT then they work. You need to find the ear buds which best fit YOUR ears and all will be good :)
Highly recommend them
i've got it today and went to the gym,all i can say thing is awesome i played songs like 300 violin orchestra,can't be touched and bass is great,real happy about it.
After much reviewing I have bought these. It was between these and the aqua beat. I can't stand the thought of having something clipped to the back of my head on my goggle strap as as I'm lapping though.
These would be good for the gym or walking the dog etc also I think.
The only thing I would advice to anyone wanting any water mp3 headphones is to wear a swim cap for additional water sealing. It also stops the headphones popping out of your ears or sliding off your head as you push off from the end of the pool.
Swim caps might look naff but nothing is 100 percent waterproof and you cannot change the headphones on these.
You can safely use it with an outlet usb plug, the only thing that happens is that you get more amps and the mp3 player will charge faster, but it will not burn out or anything like that.
I know this vid is 2 years old but I have to say that I have had my W-series (same one shown) for 2 years and I LOVE them. I swim all the time, use them in the hot tub and Sauna. The only problem I have ever had with them are because I have long hair and the little band DOES get stuck in my small hairs, and I occasionally knock them out of my ear while swimming. To avoid knocking them out of my ears I pull my swim cap down over my ears. I have also used them while running and biking and they have never fallen out. Hope this helps some people make a decision. :-)
Same here thats my only problem, knocking them out, they are awesome
I'm sorry, I just saw this. I stay in the dry sauna for 10-15 minutes and the steam for 5-10.
The sound quality is great. When your under water it feels a bit weird at first but you soon get used to it. As for running i haven't tried yet, but when Im walking the dog i can't hear anything other than the music. Hope that helps :-)
I just got these. I'm loving 'em so far!
How did you get these in January? I just picked mine up this month when they went on sale. They are a fantastic product. Although I had definite problems with them in the pool. Water deadened the sound and made the product unusable in the pool. What a drag.
awesome vid Mark thank you. Im sold... off to buy one :)
nice video mate...you convinced me to buy them & they're awesome!
thanks for the comment, pity about your i-pod lol
I use it for audio books, only issue are no reverse feature to back it up a little bit and deleting stuff off the memory.
thank u , this was the video we r looking for
i had the gen 2 version of this and if this is as good if not better then ud be in for a right treat
great review, really gets me wanting one now, after being disappointed with the iPod Classic ... this player seems more practical and usable, whereas the iPod kinda sucks in comparison
Hi, what is the quality of the sound? Is it good? And what is the sound under the watter and when you are running on noisy street? Many thanks for this video and answer ;)
I've got the 2 previous models of this, using the previous ones for long periods of times kinda hurts the back of my ears. Hope the new one will have a difference.
It's not comfortable.
lobserve1 I beg to differ and they don't keep popping out. But here is a DIY for that problem. Take Sherpa or a really soft puffy cloth and make a mini cushion for your ears. Whahla no more aches/pains or complaints.
DELICIA AMBROSINO yea, I'm not spending $90 so that I can make a cushion. IMHO, they are not nearly as comfortable as regular ear buds. I don't doubt others find them comfy but they hurt my ears.
I've had mine for about 3 years and started to have issues to get it to charge, however, I was able to solve that, but the thing I can't fix is that no computer will recognize it to add new songs. I tried the reset, cleaning the charging metal part, I tried different USB ports. I'm stuck with the same songs 4ever :(
I see you uploaded this in 2013; does yours still work perfectly fine?
us.en.kb.sony.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/44025//c/66/p/74121
worked right after I followed the troubleshooting sequences on charging
I have the same problem. Is it working now? Please reply
I have same problem!!!
Same problem. Nothing to do about that, the connect pads get fucked up by sweat and time and then it doesn't charge anymore. Tried to clean it with special solution, worked previously but not anymore. It lasted two years for me, what a shit. Can't understand the dumb engineer who designed that crap charging system.
NEVER MIND! Friend at gym got it to work! Fun to swim today!!!
my laptop cant recognize the device.. what should i do?
really cool. does it come with subscription?
I have just bought it but without bluetooth only mp3. It very cool specially why you can take bath with it
this device is great when it's working... after some month, you will get problems with usb connections up to the point you will never be able to put it in charge again because it makes use of a personal docking station meaning you have to travel with a laptop to charge your player; I'm now stuck with a useless player I bought 3months ago for 100eur.. And believe me, any "help" on the net works to get it back playing
Stop into a public library where they have computers you can use for free. One 3 minute charge is and hours play. Plus, most people are pretty kind hearted as a general rule and I'm sure someone would let you charge your MP3. Hotels and motels are quite accommodating as well. Where there is a will, there is a way. I bought one for my son and haven't had any problems ....YET. Even if I did Sony's rep is really good.
I think you can charge it by a Sony phone charger or car charger
dorian gray just plug the dock into a wall plug usb.
hey man is it really that good ? cause i've been hearing other reviews sayin its shit from the volume to its sound suppresing capability. even when its in water they say its blurry, can u reply to me and tell me straight up that its good cause i really need headphones for swimming, aquabeats just sucks keeps fallin of my ear
I might get this for my birthday!
Hey. I've heard that they can't play that loud.. What's your impression? I'll use them for running, but I like it pretty loud
To be honest I wouldn't know, I use a windows pc. Try going on to the Sony forums to see if any other mac users are having the same problem.
Mark, Can you please update your review on this product. Im getting ready to buy it. How was your swim experience?
It's probably a dumb question mate, but since its not for use on salty water, is it safe if sweat reaches the unit?...Thanks in advance mate...
Hey Mark,how do you fast forward the songs? i still figured it out T___T
that's because you're playing "zapping" keep press play to play the full song
awesome! how much is it??
What do you mean by "a bit weird at first but you soon get used to it"? Explain please, it's really important
Hi! I'm having a big trouble with my walkman. The left side of it is not working.....but when i press the volume or what so ever, it works. It's just.... I don't hear anything on it. Please help meee :(
I have a couple of years with these walkman. Recently it start zapping the functions just with the movement or the waves from the water. Does it worth it to repair it? Is as disposable as everything else?
i did like the old magnetic on and off switch
Yes Phil just hold the next track button.
Hey just a question, i'm loving this since i bought them last year but last 2 days, after my battery ran out, it made 3 beep sounds and it turned off automatically, i presume it was out of battery and left it to charge for about 2 hours and i presume their like fully charge, but when i left the house and tried to turn it on, it made the same 3 beep noise and no music or nothing came out... Is there something wrong with the walkman or is it something wrong with the usb cable? Or is it something regarding my music files?
No reply at all...Been trying to search for answers but no luck. It's still with me now and i haven't got it fixed yet since this comment was posted. I was thinking about sending it back to the shop to fix but not too sure about the cost
ironfull1 have you tried poking the reset with a pin
yeah but doesn't work though
ironfull1 mate could be your MP3 headphones are overloaded with different music files or there is not enough empty space try deleting some unwanted music off the player or try downloading songs with less memory space.. Hope it works for you.. in my honest opinion i think the sound quality is fckn shyte but i love the idea about the waterproof headphones just not the fckn sound cause its too low
So how is it in the pool - does it fall when swimming freestyle ?
Hello Uk,
Do you know where I should take them to get them fixed?
Good vid, great advice
no ac charger???is there suitable ac charger available in the market??
Any idea if there is another model with more memory? or is it possible to increase it?
I have a very hard time pushing the buttons. Mostly trying to turn it on. Any help?
it is locked, unlock it from the little switch next to the power button.
How do you create the Playlist on the device. Such as my running Playlist are my Weight Lifting Playlist.
just hold the next song button for 3 sec ( u must in the playlist mode )
it means it doesn't matter because it becomes normal after a while :P
Computer says it's 98% battery ok.. still can't get it to play music. Just got this too.
Wish I could figure out what's wrong. Even checked folder under the Walkman icon --music is there..clicked it on, and it plays on my computer! ARGH!!! yes, I double checked the volume, double checked lock button, double tried everything!!!!
Guess I'll head to the pool w/out it.
My son and I were stumped as well. Where we screwed up was not making absolutely sure the lock was unlocked. Instead of getting frustrated, which my son did, we kept going back to first base but this video helped us quite a lot since neither of us are tech savvy. I think this MP3 player ROCKS. We got our music off our music library in Windows Media player. It is absolutely essential that setting up your player is done correctly. Take a breather, have a drink, sigh a little and try again. Of course yours could be defective, it happens.
I have this mp3 but unfortunately i rolled over the charger with my car. The replacement charger from sony is 47 dollars!!!! thats half the price of the mp3. I wonder if people will make knock offs soon. Mark Holmes, any idea how to get a replacement?
could you tell me how do you transfer music from your computer to the MP3 player? I would like to hear the easiest way to do that. Thank you.
hi,can this mp3 use in salt water especially at the beach..
ive just got a pair but how do you turn the shuffle off? i click and it says shuffle off but the player doesnt play the full song, starts in the middle of the song then swishes to the next?
How can I get the right ear piece to work no music is out
can i use in swimming without the swimming ear buds
Hi Mark Ive got mp3 the left side isnt loud as the right. How can I fix this? Cheers mate
Is there a bass boost button?
the piece is perfectly good , but when it runs out of battery . some times it troubling me a lot to get charged. i don't know it had a loose connection or any problem in charging socket. help meeeeeeeee
Can I used it in salt water like on the beach??
I had these, they worked awesome, but one of the stereos broke off and only one side works now :(
how to creat chager

What's the difference between the $60 one and the $170 one?
when i play my music and there's a succession of red light every 3-5 seconds what does that mean ?
it hardly lasts for 6 months. i have changed it 3 times thinking the problem was with my set. all the time i faced the problem with charging it. not worth the money
Left speaker doesn't work anymore after 1 swim. Water kept leaking in to the ears. No proper sealing.
Do you know? How can change nwz - ws613 battery?

Keep the PLAY button pressed for about one second and you will hear the Zap function initiated. Quick press on the PLAY again to select the song you're currently previewing. It will automatically begin from the start of selected tune. Enjoy.
Oh, thanks:)
