NEW YORK, Oct 19 — Sony is targeting music purists with a new generation of Walkman players, led by a gold-plated flagship costing US$5,900 (about RM24,100) as the company seeks to serve listeners willing to pay a premium for portable high-fidelity audio.
Bloomberg reported that the three new models, unveiled on October 15, are priced between US$1,900 and US$5,900.
Sony said the range is designed to offer the “finest portable sound experience”, with preorders open but shipping dates yet to be announced.
The flagship NW-WM1ZM3 is distinguished by an oxygen-free copper body finished in gold plating.
