MUSIC. I can not live without it. I need it constantly. In my house, in my car, in my office, during weight training and on my runs. It ROCKS my world. So when I was asked to review the SONY W Series MP3 Player (for free) I said heck yeah! A new way for me to rock out!
My initial thought when I saw it was, ooh it’s wireless! Yes, there is a wire running from ear to ear, but no wire running down my back, my chest or my arm plugged into something else. Which also meant no carrying something in my hand or sticking it down my sports bra to free up my hands! Yes, I really do stick things down my sports bra…
So out of the package it came and I charged it right up. Charging time was super quick, which is great because I always forget to charge my MP3 the night before a run and then have to rush in the AM. Next was adding the tunes which can be done simply with drag & drop, but since there is no screen I had to do a little bit of planning to put my music in the order I wanted to listen to it. By default it plays in alphanumeric order or you can put it on shuffle mode, I like to plan the order of my playlist.
I took it out for a walk, a few runs and some weight training and I was really impressed with how well it fared with all my sweat (its water resistant!) ‘cuz I get down and dirty people! The buds stayed in my ears really well and I didn’t have to constantly adjust on a run like I usually do. During weight training I was thrilled because I was able to listen to my music and do arms without any wire interference anywhere, that was a first for me.
What didn’t I like? Nothing really. Aside from having to plan my playlist ahead of time specifically for my workout, I really loved it (and planning your playlist might not be important to you in which case you’re golden!).
So, in honor of planning my next hardcore training run playlist SONY is generously giving one my awesomatastic readers a SONY W Series MP3 Player! What do you have to do for it? Leave a comment below and tell me your FAVORITE hardcore training song for my new playlist.
Winner will be chosen at random June 17th!!
