Sony Walkman makes a hi-fi comeback 

Sony isn't ready to give up on the iconic Walkman just yet. The Japanese company just put out the Walkman ZX2, targeting the audiophiles in us. This portable hi-fi music player can play almost any file type out there and if you pair it with a headphone amplifier, you'll get the best sound possible out there. If you're worried that your iTunes collection will go to waste, Sony has DSEE HX technology that works to upgrade these compressed files to get them back to studio-quality resolution. It has 128GB of memory that's expandable via microSD and promises 60 hours of listening to MP3s and 33 hours of listening to hi-res audio. It'll cost quite a lot though at US$1,200.
