I compared my X-series Walkman to the Cowon S9, and although I found the S9 to have stunningly great sound (I love the cycling multi-artwork thing) I found the S9 OS to be a bit annoying.

Whereas the X-Series Walkman is a joy to use, joy to handle, feels built with more thought and quality (granite-like body, sparkly glass!) and sounds A-mazing with the right earphones/headphones! Nothing like it.

Its just really enjoyable to listen to music, the Walkman also is ultra-smooth and fast to navigate. You think of a song, you go right to the icon, chose song and just start scrolling or hitting the alphabetical skip section at the top! Bam - song I remembered!

The Walkman OS is just slick too, the whole device and system feels quality, unified and very music oriented. I don't use it for videos or nor do I use the web browser or YouTube or even Podcasts (who even cares about Podcasts anymore), all that means nothing to me. I'm all about the portable HiFi audiophile experience. Its all about the music!

I wish SONY would continue making the X! Hope they release an updated one!
