All I want for Christmas is Sony

Christmas is here once again! Sony is here to help you take the hassle out of shopping for your friends and loved ones this year with 9 treats that are guaranteed to unwrap smiles this holiday season.

Wished zooming in while using your smartphone did not result in poor and grainy images? That’s now a thing of the past with the new DSC-QX30 lens-style camera. Capture the sweetest moments of this festive season simply by connecting the lens-style cameras to your smartphone via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. With its powerful 30x optical zoom lens, you can be sure that pictures of your daughter’s Christmas pageant will come out crisp and clear, even if you’re seated in the back row. But if you prefer being able to hold onto a shape more familiar, why not try the award winning Cyber-shot RX100 III? The RX100 III is an all-in-one compact camera equipped with top-notch features that are perfect for the amateur photographer or the professional snapper.

Are you itching to go on an adventure this Christmas? Don’t forget to bring along Sony’s latest and smallest Action Camera, the HDR-AZ1VR. Weighing only 63g and offering SteadyShot image stabilization, this Action Camera gives you stable images and blur-free videos when you hit the peaks and go on your exhilarating ski runs through the glistening snow!  

Let the world’s smallest and lightest High-Resolution audio digital music player immerse you in a world of vivid, richly detailed sound this holiday season. With the NWZ-A15 Walkman, your favourite Christmas carol has never sounded so good, and you can enjoy it non-stop with its 30 hours-long battery life. And since it’s the season for giving, why not pair the Walkman with the XBA-Z5closed-in ear headphones to make sure you are truly enjoying your music just as how the artiste wanted you do, in High-Resolution Audio. For the purists who insist the absolute best in aural entertainment, turn to the MDR-Z7 headphones for the ultimate sound, wearing comfort, design and construction quality. This pair of flagship headphones produces powerful lows and extended ultra-highs that create a greater and more spacious 3D audio experience.

For those who guiltily admit to binging on all the Christmas goodies, the NWZ-WS610 Walkman will help you burn those calories by being the best partner you will ever need during work outs. It comes with a handy ring-type remote that allows you to control your workout mix while you shed those pounds off your body.

Want to drown out your cousin who thinks she has the loveliest voice? Get the SRS-X1 Ultra-compact wireless speaker. Designed to be petite and waterproof, the SRS-X1 offers uncompromising sound and is easy to carry around. With Bluetooth and Near Field Communication capabilities, the speaker also lets you stream your favourite Christmas tunes wirelessly from a compatible smartphone or tablet.

Last but not least, who doesn’t know that Christmas is the perfect time to veg out in front of the TV? Sony’s very first curved 4K Ultra HD TV is here and it offers such a natural sense of depth and realism, that you’d think you were right there when Hugh Grant was grooving in his undies in Love Actually!

Sony "Feel The Air" Audio Event 2014


Sony picked the right place for their high-resolution audio event at the Timbre @ The Arts House. It was cosy and the atmosphere at the bar were great. The high resolution music was pleasant to our ears while the delicious pizza serving satisfies our stomach.

Sony staffs both locally and from Japan introduces their latest high resolution audio products. Looking at the latest Walkman, NWZ-A15, I remember my first Sony Walkman, WM-DD100 Boodo Khan in the late 1980s. The new Walkman is so thin and powerful in audio clarity with rich detailed sound. It incorporates a unique S-Master HX digital amplifier which minimise noise and distortion. In addition, the DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) HX technology upscales the quality of compressed sound sources to surpass CD quality.

Next is the impressive MDR-Z7, a premium quality headphone to match today’s finest high-resolution audio sources. It has the biggest 70mm HD driver unit completely envelops the listener’s ear, giving an immense feeling of space. Another headphone XBA-Z5, a hybrid was also a notable product.

Sony also introduces PHA-3 headphone amplifier to further enhance the high-resolution audio signals. In addition, Sony collaborated with cable specialist, Kimber Kable to create new MUC cables for better sound playback.

Other notable new releases include wearable waterproof Walkman WS610 series, and the new Bluetooth headphones such as the MDR-ZX550BN, wireless speaker SRS-X3 and MAP-S1 (Multi Audio Player System). Not forgetting those expertly crafted high resolution floor standing speakers, SS-NA2ES.

Overall, I was impressed with the sound quality of the new Sony’s products. Over the years, Sony had positioned herself as a leading brand for audio system. Her continuous innovation in search for better quality sound is truly a testimonial of a great company.
