The NWZ-S738F is the 8 GB noise-cancelling overseas variant in the sixth-generation S Series. It maintained the full feature unification of the generation. With 8 GB internal storage it supports MP3, WMA, AAC, and WAV playback along with the 240x320 TFT display, FM radio with recording, noise cancellation, WM-PORT, video and photo functions, Clear Audio, DSEE, and 40-hour lithium-ion battery life.
This unit was the middle-capacity version of that same polished S73x family and probably the most naturally balanced version of the generation. Sony was no longer trying to force a new identity onto the S Series. It was simply refining one that already worked, and that usually produces the best versions.
