It's been almost three generations of listeners who have seen and experienced Sony Walkman down the ages. The name was, at one point in time, almost synonymous to music players and in some way still continues to be, despite it having been battered to some extent by Apple that continues to unleash its army of iPods in the market.
Sony still holds out strong and remains one of the top players in the PMP (portable media player) market and is constantly launching new ranges of Walkman models to cater to varying consumer needs and demands. The Sony Walkman NWZ-E353, a 4 GB, budget Walkman, loaded with all the goodies that the brand name is tagged with, was launched sometime ago and we've been plugged in to see if it can stand up to the rivals snapping at its heels.
Look and feel
The colorful plastic body feels nice to touch and looks classy with the almost glass-like display (although it's just plastic). The matte back cover provides a decent grip while you operate the player. The controls almost look like they have been designed and positioned to make it look like a certain famous cartoon character by Disney.
The Play/Pause buttons are at the center with a four-direction circular click button surrounding it. On the right, above the circular dials is the Power button which doubles up as the key that lets you access in-menu functions.
While listening to a song or browsing through the playlist you can use this button to add a bookmark, search for a title among the various genres listed or return to the playback screen. To the left is the Home/Return button.
