This is a great walkman except for the fact that it does not have a clip, or a way to attach it to you. Forget about listening to music and moving around unless you want to carry it in your hand.
Otherwise, the sound quality is very good, and the headphones are nice too.

This Walkman by Sony offers serious music lovers the opportunity to listen to MP3 files stored on a CD-R, a regular CD (of course), a CD-RW and there's a digital AM and FM radio tuner! This Walkman uses two AA batteries and you get lots of play time out of the batteries if you pick good batteries. It weighs less than eight ounces--great!

At first glance the controls on the Walkman itself appear slightly confusing but after about five minutes tops you learn all the important and most commonly used functions. The controls also make it easy to do basic things such as adjusting the sound, starting a CD and stopping it. The instruction manual is fairly clear and if you have questions you can always contact Sony customer support by phone or Internet.

However, I noticed some disappointments. Sony advertises this Walkman as being for any music lover--and they are right. However, the controls are rather small so you need to be careful of how you touch them with your fingers. Finally, the ear buds hurt my ears almost from the very start of listening to a CD on this Walkman. I strongly suggest you purchase a better quality headset or earphones that will be more comfortable.

Overall, music enthusiasts will be thrilled with this Walkman. The features impress me and I believe you will be impressed, too. The quality of the sound is excellent; and it can handle quite a few presets for different radio stations. What's more, there's even a two-position Automatic Volume Limiter System to make the volume just right (and sometimes a bit lower) so you can hear everything very clearly.

I recommend this portable CD player for music lovers everywhere.

The walkman is truly skipless which is exactly what I was looking for. However, I notice I replace the batteries more frequently than my last CD player. I would like the buttons on the side to be in a contrasting color from the base because they are hard to read. I would buy this CD player again

this unit did not come with an a/c adapter, and has no clip on it to attach to a belt.

my daughter uses it for meditation. She has been very happy with the product. I was very please withe the speed of deliver.
