NWZ-S764

The NWZ-S764 is the first S Series Network Walkman with built-in Bluetooth. It belonged to the ninth-generation family and adopted a body design closer to the E050 series. It offers 8 GB storage for MP3, WMA, AAC, and WAV playback plus video and photo. Lithium-ion battery life reached 42 hours, with WM-PORT, Clear Audio, and DSEE includes.

This player sits in one of the stronger late S generations, where Sony balances the traditional Walkman idea with more modern expectations. It still is a dedicated player, compact and personal, but the design acknowledges a world that expects more polish and flexibility. That balance gives it character.
