(again...forgive the screengrab...not my fault!) :)
The very first Sony Walkman was released back in 1979 and took the world by storm. I mean think about it…Portable music! Your own tunes playing in your ears…whether you’re on the plane, bus, train, walking to work and of course the big craze, while you’re exercising!
The evolution of the Walkman to accommodate exercise has been a pretty gradual one and each new leap has seen smaller devices, and longer battery life. But Sony has once again come to the forefront as a possible clear winner with their latest contribution.
It’s called the W270S and has 8 hours of playback time with 4 gigs of space all fitting into a neat little device that wraps around your head. But the greatest feature of all, it’s completely waterproof!
To get started you clip the headphones to a little device which connects to your computer. Your computer will then see it as an external hard drive to which you can add your MP3’s. The controls are fairly easy to use albeit pretty small and you get various sized ear pieces to fit comfortably within your ear. The walkman costs around R1000 (pretty reasonable if you ask me) but if you're looking for something different in the same price range then take a look at this:
It is particularly handy for surfers, boat trips, fishing and any other watersports, especially if you’d like to keep tweeting while waiting for the next set of waves to come rolling in. It’s not as wearable as the Walkman but you can still strap your device to your arm and away you go. This little guy costs around R1200 and also comes in a variety of sizes that can even fit tablets!

For me personally, with it’s big storage space & battery, sleek design & ease of use, the Sony Walkman is the way to go.
