Sony NW-A45 Digital Audio Player - Grayish Black

Find your style. Step up your sound.

Designed to fit your life effortlessly, the NW-A40 Series comes in unique h.ear colours that sync with your style. Enjoy superior sound from High-Resolution Audio and improved BLUETOOTH® streaming with LDAC™.

Colours in harmony

The new h.ear range comes in colours to suit your lifestyle perfectly. The tones work with a spectrum of hues and different colours. Try them with your favourite outfit and it all just works – effortless harmony.

Truly authentic sound

Enjoy the subtlest nuances of studio-quality sound in higher than CD quality with High-Resolution Audio. Passion for music unites every component from signal to speaker, so it feels like the artist is performing right in front of you. 

New solder maximises clarity

High-quality, lead-free solder creates a more efficient electronic connection between components, including the S-Master HX™ amp. Enjoy purer audio playback with enhanced vocal clarity, every time you press play.

New circuit board for pure, solid bass

The circuit board has been optimised to improve electricity flow, making the power supply stable. That means you experience clearer sound and pure, solid bass in your music.

Better Bluetooth streaming

LDAC™ uses a conventional BLUETOOTH® connection, but transfers at a maximum data transfer rate of up to 990kbps – approximately three times that of other audio profiles. The result is enhanced wireless listening that's much closer to the artist's intention. Full aptX™ HD audio compatibility is available with a firmware update.

Noise cancelling quietens external sounds

Want to be alone with your tunes? Activate noise cancelling, and the compatible IER-NW500N/NE headphones work with the NW-A40 Series to block out external sounds.

Ambient Sound mode lets essential audio in

When you're using the compatible IER-NW500N/NE headphones, activate Ambient Sound mode and you'll hear external sounds along with your music.

Use your NW-A40 as a Digital Audio Converter

When connected via USB, the NW-A40 Series uses its own, highly-tuned processing to convert your computer's audio signal, delivering improved sound quality.

Plays and decodes MQA™ files

The NW-A40 Series is compatible with playing and decoding MQA™ files, so you can play even more lossless-quality music.

Effortless touch control

The large, full-colour screen makes controlling the music easy. Change tracks, create playlists and adjust settings, all with a swipe or a tap. 

Expand your memory

The NW-A40 Series has 16GB of built-in memory, but you can add more by popping in a Micro SD card.

Charge less, listen longer

The quick-charging battery gives you up to 45 hours of listening time, so you can enjoy music all day.
