Sony Walkman Bean Reviewer's Comments



The kidney-shaped Walkman Bean has a smooth, sleek design that fits comfortably in your hand, pocket or armband. A cool feature, unique to the Bean, is a pop-up USB plug. Simply slide open the door and the USB plug pops out. You can plug it into any computer for music downloads or a quick charge—no need to carry a USB cord around with you.

This portable mp3 player is skip-free, so it's great for workouts and has a super quick charge time—three minutes of charge equals three hours of playback. The Bean doesn't have a stopwatch so if you time your workouts, this might be an inconvenience.


Features:  

The biggest downside to the Walkman Bean is the lack of features. It does offer basic mp3 potable player features like repeat, shuffle, an equalizer, FM radio and an integrated clock and calendar. However, you can’t record anything and it doesn’t have a sleep timer, removable disk function or a stopwatch


Sports Features:  

The biggest downside to the Walkman Bean is the lack of features. It does offer basic mp3 potable player features like repeat, shuffle, an equalizer, FM radio and an integrated clock and calendar. However, you can't record anything and it doesn't have a sleep timer, removable disk function or a stopwatch.


Battery Life:  

The biggest advantage of the Walkman Bean is the 50-hour battery life between charges. The player uses an internal battery, so you don't have to purchase batteries. The Bean also charges in no time—just three minutes of charge time equals three hours of playback.


Physical Features:  

The Bean has an eye-catching, ergonomic shape. Its formfitting design fits your hand comfortably and still provides access to the menu. The player has a user-friendly thumbpad that makes navigation easy while you're on the go.


Music Formats:  

Sony's player supports four different music file formats including mp3, wma, wav and its own, atrac format. Sony developed the atrac format to condense files while maintaining the quality for which digital music is known.


Help/Support:  

You'll find answers to most of your questions on the Sony homepage. The FAQ, updates and other documentation to keep you informed. For more help, you can contact Sony by email or telephone.


Summary:  

If you are looking for a basic mp3 player with a novel design, the Sony Walkman Bean is for you. The pop-up USB port is ingenious—you'll never be caught wishing you had a USB cord again.
