Review: Best Sony Walkman I've Owned - This is the third Sony Walkman I've owned over the last 24 years, for an average lifespan of 8 years for each. Two were Sports models that were bulky and heavy. This one is lighter and has a much better bass. I use it only when I am walking on the treadmill, but it gets a lot of use and it is holding up very well. Very glad I found this as I have a lot of cassettes that I don't want to give up. I purchased this new on desertcart. It arrived very quickly and was in the original packaging. I highly recommend this model Walkman.
Review: NO FUNCIONA - No funciona el cassette y los audifonos tostados y al sacarlo de la caja se rompio el foam que traen. Se le puso un cassette y no corre. Solo funciona el radio! Super maña inversión para lo que costo el apartato.
