4.0 out of 5 stars Great product, but terrible headphones!, May 17, 2002

I would give this product five stars if it came with even mediocre headphones. The player is great. The headphones, however, are painful in your ears and the sound is terrible.

The belt-clip is substantial and keeps the player secured. The rubber encasing makes the player more durable. It is remarkably light, in part, because it uses only one battery at a time. The lap function is nice and I love the lock that keeps the player closed and the tape secure.

If you buy this product, be sure to get a different headphones.
