WASTE OF GOOD PRECIOUS $$$$
on February 13, 2015
Posted by: lindy1041
Verified Purchase:Yes
Call me stupid ! However, I did NOT realize until way too late that an Mp3 had to be "checked to see it supports Microsoft DRM technology" in order to download WMA Library Books. OMG !!! I cannot begin to tell you how frustrated I am that a simple Mp3 player cannot ALSO download simple WMA files. I am thoroughly ticked off. Since when has technology gotten so crazy and specialized that every sentence must be perused in order to not be cheated or abused in some manner. I am thoroughly disappointed and feel cheated. (I use the Mp3 player for books ONLY)
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

simple good product
on May 4, 2014
Posted by: missey
This is my second Sony Walkman purchase & I'm happy with my purchase. The only slight drawback is the on/off feature. Little cumbersome to press firmly to turn on/off. Not crazy about that. I was only interested in 4GB & I feel it's being discontinued for newer models ($$$$) to compete w/ that other big name product out on market. Lucky to find it. Easy to load my music and plays quite well. Use only when I travel, especially on airplanes. Just make sure u get good headphones to get the best sound.

An Old Music Lover
on May 5, 2014

I can not wear head phones as they keep slipping off my head. I guess I can not be accused of having a big head. So the very nice lady at Sony hooked me up with this Walkman which I love. The ear buds stay in and I can listen to music while doing my yard work. Would definitely recommend this unit.

It is as good or better than the overpriced ipod!! The only only negative thing is the usb power cord could be longer.

Best mp3 player I ever had!
on March 12, 2019
Posted by: Trina13
Gender:Female
Best mp3 player I ever had including my phone. Great features easy to use long battery life, great sound quality, and mine was 16. This was a couple years ago. Almost indestructible! Almost... I dropped in a puddle chasing a puppy that ran out the door and it still worked! Then on a camping trip I was out late and it started raining and I couldn't see the black mp3 player to take it in. So it laid face up in the pouring rain near Seattle overnight. It didn't work after that. I just wish I could find another one. I mean I'd pay a couple hundred to get another one of these. It's that good.

Best-in-Class Cheap MP3/MP4 Player
on March 23, 2020
Posted by: Seaboarder Productions YT
Gender:Male
My mother bought this in Summer 2016, forgot about it, remembered, and gifted it to me for Christmas 2019. Greatest gift I ever got. The battery lasts forever (28 hours of non-stop playing when I tested), and generally has a better sound quality (with boxed-in earbuds, of course) than most MP3 players (Beats out my Dad's iPod Touch). So, a great gift for someone who wants a good quality, fairly inexpensive MP3 player.
I would recommend this to a friend!
