Sony NWZ-X1060 Touch-Screen PMP video review

Not the touch beater some of us wished for, but an excellent touchscreen PMP boasting what might just be the best sound quality of any player in its class. Mildly disappointing, but warmly recommended. Read full review

Why oh why couldn't they include flac and ogg support....


I'll be waiting until I can get a 128GB flash based PMP before I buy one, my current RockBoxed 80GB iPod is doing alright for now. Although I've barely any free storage left on it.

"typical Sony: understated, elegant and smart" compared to other brands, like Philips for example, not to our tastes...


Always beads and mirrors for the natives. All these devices should be really useful with WiMax connections, not WiFi. The future now please?

Oops, i forgot, you can have a much better audio experience with 30-40p headphones, not only with 60+p. These EX are not saying something.

Brilliant review, Stuart. Hilarious comparison with B&Q worktop - but personally, the front of the player resembles my own kitchen worktop. Also, definitely hear you on the "certain boroughs of London" bit *shakes head*.

One more thing...I'm guessing the touch-screen is capacitive?

"Now for the really good news. I'm tempted to stick my neck out, right here and right now, and say that the X1060 is the best sounding PMP I have ever heard,..."





So I guess file format support isn't important if lower quality codecs can still be made to sound exceptional then? So who cares if it doesn't support FLAC or Ogg?

I just checked sonystyle.ca and the 32GB version of this is available for $500. $70 more then the 32GB iPod Touch. I don't know if the price difference is worth it over the Touch. I may be willing to sacrifice some sound quality for the app store and the excellent browser.





Oh and I think the Walkman looks great, I love the granite like finish.

Great review! Pretty much what I expected but it's a shame the lack of any lossless support makes it a complete write-off...





@Ohmz: That's because you're looking at Sony Style! In the UK, Sony stores had an exclusive for a few weeks before 'sensible' retailers started selling it. Hopefully that will happen in Canada too.
