The Sony Walkman NW-WS413 is a go anywhere all-action MP3 player that doubles up as a pair of waterproof headphones

As you'd expect from an all-in-one device, the NW-WS413 is rather large compared to a regular pair of Bluetooth headphones, but considering there's a whole MP3 player hidden inside it, it's really quite sleek given how much tech Sony's managed to pack in.

The Sony NW-WS413 would be just another sports headset with music player if not for the Ambient Sound Mode to make it a little extra special. I get to enjoy loud and detailed music without sacrificing the ambient awareness.

I love this Walkman MP3 payer! Only one problem, there was no comprehensive instruction manual with it. I had to spend time to find it on line. The manual is not easy to understand. Once I figured it all out, it was all pleasure. The sound is crisp and clear. Not muffled.

The Sony NW-WS413 is a 4GB MP3 player built into a set of waterproof and dust-proof IP67/68 headphones. There's also the NW-WS414, which are identical but bump up the storage to 8GB. Both models form part of the Sony Walkman NW-WS410 series. That's the simple answer.

Battery life; One hour of use from three-minute charge; Superb fit and weight; Waterproofing and dust-proofing

Need to swap earbuds; No Bluetooth option or mic; Expensive

some of my friends said the charger sometimes broken. but this mp3 players do look cool. many people like it. I suggest that it could be a little louder. Works well for music that no problem, but when I try to listen to books it's just too quiet.

easy to used

The NW-WS413 is an improvement over the prior model NWZ-W273. All buttons are easier to press and give more tactile response. The docking contacts on the headphones are raised so they make a better connection to the docking station, which was sometimes a problem with the prior model.

It's been four months and the botton given to change the track has been not functioning properly ....even my computer is not recognizing the device since quite a few days ....even the battery life has gone down to 4 to five hours ....

The sound quality is very satisfying; The divice is pretty straightforward to use; Good range of colours; Good for gym exercises, running, etc

Considering the device is waterproof I bought it mainly for listening to music while I swim laps; Unfortunately, the earphones keep falling out and I have to readjust them every 3, 4 laps; Your head needs to have a very precise shape for the MP3 player to fit perfectly.
