Sure, Apple may have just announced wireless headphones and improved Music app functionality for the forthcoming iPhone 7, but the original portable music player is still going strong. The Sony Walkman, which began life in 1979 as an on-the-go cassette player, is now a digital mp3 device that remains the pick of audiophiles everywhere. And the latest iteration—the NW-WMIZ Walkman—isn’t likely to change that.

The NW-WMIZ Walkman is the exemplar in the class of high-end digital audio players that have been gaining some traction in the past five years, as the novelty of getting our music quickly and easily fades in favor of a return to quality. This is Sony’s attempt to satisfy the demand for high-fidelity portable playback. The NW-WMIZ is outfitted with a gold-plated oxygen-free copper body that has a higher resistance to magnetic interference, allowing for the cleanest, most expansive sounds, with clear highs along and deep, powerful bass. It’s not cheap—the price for this audio player is set at $3,200—but when did quality this good ever come cheap? Best of all, it retains a headphone jack, unlike the new iPhone 7, so you can plug in your best quality headphones to truly maximize your listening experience.
