Drag. Drop. Go.

Why get stuck with just one music service? Dragging and dropping your favorite MP3s from your Mac or PC is super simple whether it's from iTunes®, Windows® Media Player or even Windows Explorer®. And with multi-format playback all MP3, WMA, AAC or L-PCM music files sound amazing. How's that for freedom?

Quickly search through your music with ease using convenient, multi-function playback buttons. One quick tap switches the track, while holding down the button for longer changes the folder completely while in All Play mode. In Playlist mode, a quick tap changes songs, while a tap and hold changes the entire playlist.

Legendary sound meets sporty style.

Rock on the run or while concentrating on your core with full, rich legendary Sony sound. Choose from 4 new colors to add a pop of style that's totally you.

Note: When you use the Sports MP3 player in water (do not use in ocean/salt water) be sure choose the size of earbud that fits securely in each ear canal.

Sound quality may deteriorate if water gets into the headphones. So, take time to ensure you have a good fit of the earbuds in your ears.

If water gets into the headphones, hold the headphone facing downwards and tap it 5 to 10 times over your palm. If there is still water in the headphones, remove the earbuds, use a dry cloth over the bud post and tap the headphones on your palm 5 to 10 times until dry.
