Good product with some flaws

byoctoberman Dec 1, 2004
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Long battery life, easy to operate, reliable.
Cons Weak motor for tape, WeatherBand seems useless.
Recommended it? Yes

I've been using this Walkman for about 4 months now. As you can see from the image, the electronic buttons operating the radio are on the front while the tape buttons are on the side.

You have to be careful with the front electronic buttons. There's a "HOLD" button which turns them off so... Read full review »

Pros Durable! Versatile. Inexpensive!
Cons Need to update with CD, MP3, etc. to keep up with current technology.
Recommended it? Yes

It's Durable and Cheap: I use my Sony Cassette/TV/Radio/Weather band Player every day for almost 8 years with absolute neglect -- never cleaned the tape player head, dropped it a couple of times, neglected to clean the accumulated dust -- but it plays and functions like it did the first day I...

Pros The tape player is excellent. With the earphone output I was able to rip MP3s..
Cons Case has to be removed to change cassettes
Recommended it? Yes

I found this device quite pleasing. The tape did not slow down until the batteries were almost dead.

Ripping MP3's were quite easy with stereo separation well maintained. we just connected it to the line input of the computer. There was no hum and very little tape hiss. ( Dolby circuit... Read full review »

This product isn't good

4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Low cost, digital tuner, TV and Weather bands, lots of tuner presets.
Cons Tape play-back is nearly useless for music.
Recommended it? No

I bought this Walkman to listen to 'books on tape' and some music. I still have a reasonable collection of higher quality (Metal and Chromium-Dioxide) tapes made from CDs. The fault that makes this tape player such an awful (read useless) product is that the tape itself is able to 'wander' across... Read full review »

Does the Job

Pros The cost was perfect. The sound is great.
Cons I lost the headphones for earbuds real quick, just too bulky.
Recommended it? Yes

I just wanted something simple to make my commute less mundane. This was the solution.
It is high quality that I expect from SONY and the sound that the Walkman line always delivers.
The controls are simple, but sometimes too easily bumped.
The headphones that came with it are bulky,... Read full review »

Pros Nice sound, decent headphones, AM/FM/TV Weather radio
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

It's been a long time since I had a tape walkman, but I started listening to audio books on tape and wanted something to use when I wasn't in the car.

This one does the job with absolutely no complaints. The headphones are better than any other basic included-in-the-box 'phones I've... Read full review »
