This portable stereo cassette player has outstanding sound. A great buy at any price ! Especially incredible is the fact that it is all done with only ONE battery AND, the battery lasts almost 28 hours of tape playtime. Even longer on radio. The controls take a little time to learn but, a small price to pay.

If the "ShockWave" feature is not your cup of tea you can always use your own headset (as I do) and still get solid bass.

if you're looking for great sound AND a pounding base line, this is what you want--the brainshaker headphones actually produces a low toned vibration in perfect syncronization with the music to make the first subwoofered headset! to add to this, the casette reader and radio work flawlessly, never skipping or even start to even if violently shaked. and finally, just look at it! if you don't think this is the best, most futuristic, look at what i got, casette player there is....you got a problem. you won't be wasting your money on THIS unit. take my word for it.

The critical feature of this product is the remote control, which is located on the headset itself. I listen to a lot of books-on-tape and need to access the rewind, on-off, and volume control frequently. And I usually listen while riding my bike, working out, or doing some mondane task. In-cord remotes are always flopping around and can't really be operated blind. But the remote on this product is a dream. The sound is fine. The earpiece feels uncomfortable at first, but you adjust to it and won't notice later. The single battery requirement is nice, too. But buy it for the remote.

Here in Colorado in an urban area, I find the antenna leaves something to be desired. When listening to am, I find that I often have to hold the radio in my hand to bring in the weaker stations. It is necessary to orient it to bring in a decent signal. A nuisance.---After a few days of using, I finally got used to the controls which are somewhat different then competitive models. The sound quality is excellent. The controls on the headband are very useful. I hike a lot usually one to two hours per day so I believe that I have given it a good test. I should add that the cassette player is excellent. Except for the antenna problem I am well pleased with the Brain Shaker.

I got this Panasonic player back in April of 2000. Up to today I hadn't have any problems. I dropped more than 100 times already and still work perfectly. One of the beauty of this player is the battery life with one AA it can play up to 28 hours. INCREIBLE BUT TRUE. If u want a player to last u a few years I recommend u to buy this one.

I was in the market for the best overall portable system in terms of features, sound quality, reliability, durability, ease-of-use, and price. If you are in the same market, then stop looking and buy this portable.

Not easy to hold. The remote control add no value.

Its a good piece but with some reservations. First it doesnt have belt clip. Second the head phone is not comfortable. If you plan to keep your headphone on for longer time, either get another headphone with the piece or look for another walkman. Sound quality is good. Metal body is advantage in terms of sturdiness. compact design and silver colour make it great in appearance. Runs on single bettery, another appealing feature. But I really doubt the utility of VMSS(you feel vibration in your ears and head according to music you are listening). Its not the feature for which you should be buying the unit. Otherwise great listning.

the earphhones hurt your ears. If your going to buy this product buy a different set of headphones. These heasphones aren't adjustable they don't fit right on your head and the piece that goes in your ear has no cushion so they are uncomfortable.

this product has a good bass and sound quality , but the only problm that i encounter was the size of the headphones is too small, it can fit to your ears but it hurts a little bit , the ear phones has a sharp round shape so if u move alot it can hurt your ears. THE good of this product is the sound quality and the kick of the bass is cool , u can feel it through your back bones, and the features is also good , plus remote control inside the headphones is also an excellent features. oh by the way , if the Panasonic can fix the headphones problem , u can say that this product is worth enough for 70 dollars u pay
