NWZ-E444

The NWZ-E444 is a higher-capacity model in Sony's 2009 E Series Network Walkman. It followed the same mid-range positioning as its siblings but with expanded internal storage. Equipped with 8 GB flash memory, it supports MP3, AAC, and WMA files alongside video and photo playback. The 240x320 TFT display showed track and media information. A lithium-ion battery provides up to 45 hours of audio use through WM-PORT connection, with FM radio includes.

The E444 is probably the most naturally balanced model in the E440 family. It carries the same broad identity as the E443, but with enough space to feel comfortable instead of merely adequate. By this point Sony had become very good at building Walkman that no longer felt weighed down by old Network Walkman awkwardness.
