## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good buy
*by E***D on January 26, 2011*

I have alot of language tapes I like to listen to and I also enjoy talk radio on am and NPR on fm. This walkman fits the bill. The sound quality is good and the tapes play easily. Also the rewind option is really handy for the tapes. I found the sound quality improved when I used higher price earphones I had; however the earphones provided were acceptable. It is a little bulkier than I would like but it fits into a pants pocket and most shirt pockets. It comes with a protective case which provides good protection (I have dropped mine a few times while walking and it had no damage due to the protective case.) It takes a little time to pre-set stations. However if you're into computers and such you probably will do ok (i'm old school baby boomer so it could be me). If you don't want to preset stations the manuel control works fine. This model also has a separate button for the government weather channel; which is helpful for incoming storm warnings etc. Overall a good buy for the money if you play casettes and listen to the radio.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have it at last
*by H***D on August 14, 2012*

When I was in college back in the 70's, I was deep, deep into my music. My choice was the the cassette player. That's when I first heard of the Walkman. It was the first and the best of all the cassette players to follow.But I was of the low income level. I couldn't afford a Walkman. So for years I settled for off brand players that possessed no quality and had a lot of defects. Brands like Colby, and that God- awful Jensen had me just tossing my money right in the trash.I felt trapped in "cassette player hell" until Amazon offered me the one, the only, the first and best of them all....The Sony Walkman.!! I was thrilled. I jumped at it. For the first time in over 30 years I'm experiencing true high quality stereo sound from both the radio as well as the tape I popped inYes, this is everything I'm looking for in true stereo music. I see that Sony has discontinued making the Walkman. That's too bad. I'm planning on buying a back-up player. I suggest anyone whose still into cassette tape and not into Ipods and all that new tech stuff need to get them a Sony Walkman....while they are still available brand new. 'cause when they're gone...they are GONE!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice walkman.
*by D***H on February 7, 2013*

A lot of great qualities for this walkman and the price of it compared to others.I would've gave it a five star had it had a place to plug an adaptor in to save on batteries but it does only require one battery.Also the clip is not built onto the walkman itself but instead it is on a case that Sony sends with the walkman and it's a little tight to fit the Walkman into the case.I just put the Walkman in my pocket instead.It plays well and has great sound.
