Shed the wires with this ingenious Walkman MP3 player that fuses headphones with a 2GB MP3 player into one remarkable device that's perfect for any activity.First of all, the iPod / MP3 player brought new dimensions to the world of sport. It was finally possible to for a run with music to your ears without it jumping, skipping or starting and stopping.

Then it was a bit annoying trying to carry them so out came the ingenious MP3 sport armbands perfectly crafted to hold your iPod or MP3 player so you can run hands-free, let alone enjoy any number of other sports to your favourite tunes. But there’s just one thing we can still moan about. The wires get in the way. Picture it, you’ve got your iPod plugged in at the gym and the headphone wire is dangling annoyingly in between you and the machine. Every time you pump your arms, you yank the wire and more often than not, your headphones pop out. Very frustrating.

 

 

Well, fear not! Sony have had enough of this wire chaos so they’re simplifying things for us. Enter the wearable Walkman W Series. Designed especially for those with an active lifestyle, this MP3 player gives you a totally wire-free experience. The player itself becomes the headphones and the wire that does feature is what holds them over your head. The unit is lightweight, comfortable, holds up to 500 tracks and has a one touch song selection function. The battery life lasts up to 12hours and has 90 minutes of playback time from just a 3 minute charge. So training for the marathon is no problem for this little gadget.

The look perhaps needs to be perfected as not everyone will think it is that ‘cool’, but technology is always getting smaller and that’s perhaps all this needs to really make its mark. In short it is a liberating bit of kit if you have a passion for the active life or, just want to put a soundtrack to your everyday tasks without the hassle of wires getting in your way.Comes in Black, Pink, Green, Purple and White. Any random colour will be shipped upon stock availability!
