Would you shell out $1400 for Sony's new Walkman NW-ZX2 audio player?

Sony Corp brought back the Walkman audio player  from the dead at the on-going Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas yesterday, but in a new model that differs from the old in many respects. This new Walkman NW-ZX2 offers high-resolution audio and comes with 128GB of inbuilt storage with a micro-SD card slot to expand memory up to 256GB and Bluetooth-enabled headphones. It runs on the outdated Android 4.2 Jelly Bean operating and plays your favourites music for 60 hours. But Sony's Walkman doesn't come cheap like the previous ones, it sells for a staggering $1,443(that's twice the price of the iPhone 6 smartphones). Would you buy?
