Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

This is the third sony walkman i've owned over the last 24 years, for an average lifespan of 8 years for each. They last quite a while and battery life is good. It still works beautifully for my primary purpose.

Unit is easy to operate. It is lightweight and not cumbersome. Although expensive, it is sturdy, has good sound quality, a useable belt clip.

The radio is good and the tape player works flawlessly. I love the mega-bass and the reception is very clear for the radio. The fm radio reception is good too.

The sound is very good--adequate bass, but not overpowering. Altogether a nice little performer.

Cons

Strong signal that fades away. Missing or broken off belt hanger on the back. No funciona el cassette and los audifonos tostados and al sacarlo de the caja se rompio el foam que traen.

The tv sound part of the unit is horrible, which is disappointing.

Price

The price was right and it works like a charm.

This unit worked quite well for the price.

It was less than $20 when i last bought it from amazon a year or so ago.

This player was expensive but worth the money.

Shipping

Product was delivered in a timely manner and works just fine.

Competitiveness

In short, it is exactly what i wanted, having tried less expensive players.

I was a little afraid it might not function as well as more expensive units.
