NWZ-E354

The NWZ-E354 provides 8 GB capacity with the new audio tools in the E Series lineup. It features 8 GB flash storage for MP3, WMA, AAC, and WAV files along with video and photo playback. The 240x320 TFT display, 50-hour battery, FM radio, and WM-PORT supports DSEE, Omakase Channel, and Lyric Pita.

The E354 is the more balanced version of that same generation, with enough capacity to feel comfortable as an everyday player. It keeps the same low-maintenance identity without adding unnecessary complexity. Sony had moved past the earlier habit of overdesigning entry-level players.
