In general, although it does not support the lossless format of many enthusiasts, such as ape, wv, flac, tak, tta, etc.
But the compressed audio format is not too narrow.

Aside from the well-known ZX1/ZX2 series, the WS413 with the Walkman logo is a special product.

Beautiful orange and green, can not help but think of SONY notebook VAIO series.

Take off the ear plug filter section of the silicone sleeve.

Charging the base and the data line, as always, SONY does not distribute the charger.

WS413 connected to the charging base - flashing yellow and green lights alternately

"Airtight" swimming earplugs.

Individuals on the Internet also learned that the WS2xx series has long been famous, so no worries to soak it in the water.

The earplug part is comfortably placed in the ear canal, but due to the special binaural hanging lug wearing structure, the WS41 does not suffer from ear or ear problems even for the spectacles party.

Of course, as in-ear earbuds, there is still a small amount of stethoscope effect that can't be avoided: Whether shaking the head or walking.

Audition


Test track:

Zard - "Leg" with the title album,

Actually, it is not a singer who specializes in singing anime songs, but his slam dunk player “ED04, Conan OP04 is widely known. And “Yanke” was once the theme song of “Kitani Reiko”, the relationship of birth years, I can't talk about the drama of that era.


- As a main waterproof and multi-functional MP3 and earbuds, WS413 analysis is not excellent, there is no obvious modification in the performance of female voices, and the medium- and high-frequency is not as dazzling as the J-Pop type track "My personal feelings are a little bit of a rock style. The music album released in 1993 has a relatively short board compared to today's works because of the quality of the recordings. However, in the mouth of Sakai Spring, this song"铿锵 powerful ", just as its theme "Do not give up."

MAKE-UP-Pegasus Fantasy, Saint Seiya Original Soundtrack


"The Little Universe, The Holy Garments, The Athena, The Pegasus Meteor Fist, The Ancestral Sword" are some of the most familiar terms for the anime fans who grew up in the 1990s. "Saint Seiya" is the first Japanese to land in China. Modern comics, with their gorgeous cloaks, warm blood figures, and grand mythical backgrounds, impressed with the eyes of Chinese youths who have just begun anime.


The theme song "Pegasus Fantasy" was full of impetus, but the WS413 instrument was slightly short-separated, and the whole performance was a little "flat". Personally, "The fantasy of Pegasus" is also very representative of Japanese rock and electronic music. the perfect combination, in fact, along with this kind of music is very appropriate fitness.


to sum up


For more focus on traditional earbuds and portable players, the NW-WS413, which is both MP3 and in-ear earbuds, is indeed a slightly special product of the Walkman family. - Its ear-in-the-ear part, which is worn for a long time A small amount of discomfort, but because of its special heart-shaped ear-worn structure, even for the "spectacles party", it does not appear to be inconspicuous.


-5°C to 45°C Environmentally-adaptive, waterproof, dustproof, etc. WS413 can be adapted to skiing, swimming, even wearing in the bath, and 3 minutes fast charging, ambient sound and other intimate design, function and adaptation range, WS413 is A very good product.


Of course, if it is no longer just only 4GB / 8GB optional two capacities, sound levels but also to the next level, then ask for more harsh sound of users, WS413 will be a people "drunk Weng Zhiyi is not a masterpiece of wine.
