Sony Gold-Plated NW-WM1ZM3 Walkman Player

Sony’s $5,900 Gold Plated NW-WM1ZM3 Walkman Machines Oxygen Free Copper Into a Portable Flagship

By

Sony Gold-Plated NW-WM1ZM3 Walkman Player
Sony still builds Walkman players long after most people stopped carrying dedicated music devices, and the new flagship arrives with a price of $5,899.99. Pre-orders opened in mid-October 2026 for the NW-WM1ZM3, a Signature Series model whose body is precision-milled from oxygen-free copper of 99.99 percent purity and then gold-plated. The rear chassis uses the same copper, and even the screws receive a gold treatment chosen for low electrical resistance and a more stable ground path. That combination adds real mass: the finished player measures roughly 86 by 157.6 by 23.2 millimeters and weighs about 670 grams.

Sony ULT Wear Headphones Noise-Cancelling
Most people scanning store shelves for solid over-ear noise-canceling headphones still land on Bose QuietComfort models or Apple’s AirPods Max. Sony has quietly offered a strong alternative since the ULT Wear, priced at $148 (was $248), arrived a little while ago, packing many of the same processor tricks found in the brand’s more expensive WH-1000XM5 while adding a dedicated button that ramps up low-end punch on demand.

Sony shipped the SMC-70 in September 1982 as its first real microcomputer, first in the United States for office work and then in Japan on December 1. Most people walking past a gray-and-silver slab that year would have assumed it belonged to NEC or Sharp. Few realized the company that made Trinitron sets and Walkmans had just entered the personal-computer business with a Z80A running at 4.028 MHz, 64 KB of user RAM, and Sony BASIC already sitting in ROM.

Handheld Steam Portable Sony PSP Mod

Steam Portable, Tito Fits a Steam Library Into a Sony PSP

By

Handheld Steam Portable Sony PSP Mod
Handhelds keep getting larger, with Valve’s Steam Deck leading the charge, but one modder decided to go in the opposite direction. A PSP still slides into a jacket pocket. Tito from Macho Nacho Productions took that contrast and rebuilt an original Sony PSP-1000 as a device he calls Steam Portable, a pocket shell that can stream his Steam library and run retro emulation. Sony never sold anything like it. He used OtherMod’s latest PSPi 6 kit, a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, an 800×480 replacement screen, and a UV printer to stamp Steam branding onto the plastic.

Sony WH-1000XM5 Premium Noise Canceling Wireless Headphones are the Quiet That Still Follows You

By

Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise-Canceling Headphones 2026
Sony spent years turning over-ear canceling into something people actually wear all day, and the WH-1000XM5, priced at $199.99 (was $400), remains the pair that made that habit stick. Eight microphones and a pair of processors hush cabin rumble, subway grind, and open-office chatter so thoroughly that music and calls sit on a darker background than most rivals managed when these launched a few years ago.
