 This is Ross Miller with The Verge and this is Sony's brand new flagship wall commit, ZX2. This is not a multipurpose device. This is very much decidedly so an audio first, arguably an audio only device. You can get Google apps, I mean there's a browser, there's a Google Play Store, but this is running Android 4.2 and everything Sony has done with device is decidedly meant for audio experience. There's every codec you can imagine including lossless files, FLAC. This is supported. So how does it sound? Well it's kind of hard to say on the CES show floor but so far what little we've listened to it sounds really really good. Now as you can see here you've got quite a bit of a customization options for your equalizer. You can really make it sound the way you want. Of course it's got clear bass. Bass is a big thing Sony played up in the press conference. It has 128 gigs of internal memory and has a micro SD slot here as you can see. Talking about the hardware for a second, as we saw earlier it's got this iconic gold tinted headphone jack. The whole device is really chunky. I mean it's heavy, it's sturdy, I would say solid and at least for my hand the playback controls fit perfectly on my fingers. So it fits well, it feels great. The big determining factor on this however is the price. The Walkman ZX2, like the ZX1, is expensive. ZX1 is still over six to eight hundred dollars if you try to get it. This model when it comes out next month is actually $1,200. For more on really expensive gadgets and devices check out the Verge's YouTube page, youtube.com slash the Verge.
