Sony W Series Walkman mp3 workout gear

Have been going to the gym with no music,
as I've gotten tired of either ripped
ear bug cords (caught on machines)
or fuzzy Blue Tooth connection.

The Sony Walk Man fits the bill.

Simple, load songs and go workout!
No cords, no Blue Tooth.
Simple headset controls and easy shuffle
with songs.

Snap on/off clip, like a
magnet. USB power up.

Fits around the back side of
your head wrapping over your ears,
this is the only cord which is
durable. Though, not adjustable
might be uncomfortable when bouncing.

No interface to mess with, as I
see many people sitting around
tweaking play list on many music
devices. Found myself doing
the same, can be mix master at home.

2GB of storage, able to get
4 of 11 hours of battery life
(so far) that I've tested.

Will post more results,
as I loved my Otto Mp3
player headset, which is no longer
produced. Was perfect, simple
and durable. Been trying
to find a replacement - the
new Walk Man might be it?

Did have a problem, for a short time
the other night with an endless shuffle
that looped out of control. Not sure
if this is human error just yet.

ZAPPIN playback
The loop that I experienced was the ZAPPIN.
Didn't read the instructions indepth as this
is a big function within the operation of
the Walk Man NWZ-W252. Wasn't expecting
this to be so prominent.

Sony gives you the ability to shuffle (swosh)
at different time intervals, between songs,
folders etc..

This is a matter of taste to me, as I prefer
to hear the songs play in the order that I
loaded them. But as mentioned this is a
matter of taste, just a trial and error
mix of your choice.

Overall, I would recommend this
and give it a B- minus.
