Fifty One East, Qatar’s leading department store and Sony Middle East and Africa, announced the launch of the all-new waterproof and dustproof wearable WS623 Walkman, now with Bluetooth wireless technology.
The wearable Walkman is built to endure extreme outdoor conditions or any sporting activity. With improved wearing comfort, the WS623 Walkman features an ergonomic, slim and light design.
Newly equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology, Walkman offers the option of streaming music from a smartphone using the Near-Field Communication (NFC) one-touch pairing, or simply store up to 16GB of audio within.
The WS623 Walkman is salt waterproof, at a depth of 2m with up to 30 minutes of submerged time. It is also dustproof, making it perfect for any sand based activity or a run along the beach.
The standard earbuds and specially designed waterproof earbuds are covered with a thin film to prevent water damage to the Walkman and optimise sound levels for underwater listening. The Walkman can endure extreme temperatures from -5°C to 45°C, making it ideal for a hike or climb.
The Ambient Sound Mode, utilising in-built microphones to pick up external voices and sounds in the surrounding environment, allows the user to communicate with a workout buddy or trainer without skipping a beat. A quick charge feature gives a full 60 minutes of audio time with just a three-minute power-up, while a full charge will provide 12 hours of battery life.
The WS623 Walkman is available at Fifty One East for QR499.
