Sony NWZ-A860 and NWZ-S760 Info and Pricing

13 July 2011 TheWalkmanBlog 0 Comments

It appears 2 new models have appeared on the FCC website, the new A-Series (pink) and S-Series (black)

According to CNET the A-Series will ship with an OLED screen, larger than the current model’s screen size of 2.8 inches, most likely 3.0 inches. As for the S-Series, it should feature a TruBlack LCD display.

The new A-Series will come in 4 capacities, 8, 16, 32 and 64 GB and ship with MDR-EX0300 headphones, at least this is what was tested with the A-Series in the FCC report. The MDR-EX0300 headphones ship with the S640 in Japan and are not Noise-Cancellation headphones, so perhaps the production A-Series will come with the same headphones as the current A-Series.

The new S-Series will be available in 2 capacities, 8 and 16 GB and will ship with MDR-EX083 headphones which don’t appear to be that great and are not in-ear headphones. CNET has a bit more info on colours and pricing, which could mean that the product announced is due soon, but the pricing I would not take too seriously since all CNET did was convert current Euro model prices to US, which is inaccurate. I should also mention that both models have went thru certification in South Korea which means that these 2 models will be global. Product announcements should take place at IFA 2011.
