 TV channels a plus, but lousy durability November 20, 2008
B. Miller (Los Angeles, CA)
While I liked this product shortly after I got it, the battery door was flimsy enough not to last long. Now I can't get it to stay shut with the battery in it.
The use of only one AA battery instead of 2 is a plus if you are using NiMH batteries, but a minus if you are using other rechargeables -- the batteries won't last long.
I'm currently shopping for a player by a different brand, but a cheapo $9 Jensen one I got was even worse (actually far worse) than this.

Sound is good, but the carrying case is pretty flimsey and difficult to change tapes when out for a jog. Sony quality on sound, though.
 not a bad deal November 19, 2008
Jorge D. Granados
well, as you may well know, not every stor carries cassette players, it is fortunate for us to have a place and get this product. As the quality, I can not complain about it. just take good care of it.
Sony Portable Cassette player November 10, 2008
JSM (Port Angeles, WA)
I find this to be a wonderful product. It is lightweight, comes with a carrying case, headphones with quality sound at an afforable price.
I owned an older model (similar to this product) and was happy to find the quality is not only as good but better than the older Sony Walkman I replaced this one with. It is good to know Sony has maintained the quality of this product I would reccommend this cassette player without hesitation.
So thrilled! November 9, 2008

I just used my Sony Walkman Radio/Cassette player and am so thrilled!
What a great product! The quality is so nice; the headphones just perfect for me and the case that came with it fit snuggly on my sweats while I jogged on the treadmill.
I was so happy to dig out some old cassettes I haven't listened to in 15 years and had so much fun remembering the songs and singing at the top of my lungs! (I'm sure the neighbors appreciated it - LOL)
Thanks, Sony, for bringing back the memories of songs and times and places and for getting me back into walking again!
The only thing I might wish it had is an auto-reverse to play the other side of the tape, but maybe not since that is what broke on my last cassette player (which was an Emerson).
I love it so much I'll be ordering another one just in case this one gets discontinued or something - hopefully not ever!
