Hi All,
I am sure that this is not a Genuine Sony made Mp3 players but works as good with the right headphones. It is available as SONY NS-11 in the market and the firmware shows that it is manufactured by Wilson Co. The general name is S1 Mp3 player. I guess it is imported comes from China. Considering the cost, it delivers fantastic music quality using a MP3 decoder processor ATJ 2085. This is a great processor and I guess it has more computing power than a 386 Processor. I guess many variants of the same player employing different processors are available in the market today. It uses very little power and is very efficient. The AAA 1.5 volt battery can work continuously for about 9 hours without having to change.
