• Not for everyday use
  First, this model had all the features I needed: Auto Reverse, (automatic), A backlit button, and megabass. However, in Amazon's description it said it included a clock function. Not true. The Battery case is difficult to access as you have to open the cassette door., plus Sony's poor design continues with the headphone jack on the bottom of the walkman. Thus, you can NOT stand the unit upright on a table, etc. The 4 way knob is difficult to operate, and you have to look at the display to see if you are... more info

• Ok for a while
  For performance I'd give it 5 stars. However, for durability it would only get 2. The reason being that the strap that holds the walkman to your hand while running etc is quite flimsy. I'd had my walkman for about 9 months when the mechanism broke and is irreparable. And for the price of the item this is quite unacceptable. So beware - if you want something that you can strap to your hand for running, this isn't it.

• wonderful walkman worth the 100 dollars!!
  I run every day in a very hot climate and I put my walkman in the back of my sports bra. This is the oly walkman that has lasted for me. It has a handle you can use in your hand, and your thumb fits right at the top where the controls are conveniently located. All of the controls are combined into one knob that bends in four directions and pushes in for power. The controls are a bit sensitive, but there is a hold lever that when you put on, it will not respond to accidental pushing.

• get 499 model sports walkman instead
  I loved my 499 model (sold here). It had mechanical play/ff/rev buttons. This model has a knob the goes in 4 directions and down. I hate it. It is too sensitive to touch (I often hit it by accident and send the tape back or forward :( ), and is difficult to use without looking as the orientation is a bit offset. Also the engaging head is electronic and takes about 2 seconds to change from ff/rev to play. For me, it takes too long while scanning stop and go... (I tend to forward through material - like... more info
