My husband runs and loves to listen to books on tape. He had the "old" model, purchased in the 90's and since tape players are probably on the way out, I was glad to find this one. It is excellent. He can run, listen, and no skipping.

I purchased this with the idea to listen to books while exercising. The sound is very clear, has a long battery life and I have been able to locate numerous cassette books at very affordable prices on Ebay. I have also listened to it on long car trips and enjoyed it very much. It is very easy to use and is relatively compact. It has already been dropped a few times and hasn't seemed to affect the performance yet. It has been used steadily since I have received it approximately 6 weeks ago.

Sound quality is actually pretty good, but design, build quality and ease of use just fair. Buttons feel cheap and flimsy and the lack of auto reverse makes it a bit of a pain to use. Battery life however seems quite good.

I'm really disapointed in this walkman. I read all the positive reviews so I decided to buy it but I disagree with them. The sound quality is horrible there's a noise even at the lowest volume level. Really cheep product.

Thank you Amazon for selling and advertising such a nice quality walkman. I just ordered this model and received it 8/12/06. I searched all over for quite a while and decided on this one. The style is very unusual modern and sturdy. It was easy to program, I like the listening quality and preset buttons. I enjoy my cassette tapes. I really like the design for the tape player, It only takes 1 AA battery. The headphones are very comfortable and give great sound. The TV listening is an added plus. I really recommend this model to any walkman lover and the price is just right. Thanks again. 8/15/06

This is a wonderful portable cassette walkman. I looked far and wide for a portable player that had quality construction. There are many cassette players out there that are junk. This Sony did not disappoint and I recommend ithighly.

Model has the controls the way they will last. This unit will stay together probably as long as you have it.

bought it for my 82 year youg father...it took him a day to figure it out but he is enjoying it...said it has good sound....overall, i'm pleased

The item I order was a good purchase. I would recommend this item to others.

The radio is very nice, however, I will be giving as a gift because I misread ad... I wanted a "cassette" player Walkman.
