Walkman S Series

The Walkman S Series is a line of portable media players designed and developed by Sony, currently marketed in Japan.

[4] The NW-S200 S2 Sports Walkman released 2006 were cigar shaped and made of aluminum, also featuring a G-Sensor and a pedometer.

October 2006 saw the introduction of the NW-S700/600 Series with an "elegant" design,[7] coming in five colors and featuring a 3-line OLED display including album art.

The earphone has a proprietary design specifically made for this player, thus making it impossible to plug into other DAPs, even the ones that come from Sony.

[10] This Walkman has a small OLED screen capable displaying album art and some text information about the song and the player features.

[17] Starting with this generation, all S Series players would have the so-called "Mickey Mouse" look, because of the specific positioning of the main buttons.

Below the screen, Sony built its trademark circular control pad which has a standard four-way directional button surrounding a central play/pause key.

The size of the 5 button layout has been increased, while the SensMe function does not appear, although a dedicated Podcast folder has been added.

Unlike the preceding S730, the physical noise cancellation switch has been removed in the S740 replaced by a setting in the software.
