This was for my Mom, so she has something compact & lightweight but not sacrificing great sound quality. She was surprised with the FM radio option!

Great mini system that I can keep in my pocket when I'm doing projects around the house or working out. Loading songs onto this device was easy. Sound quality is appealing. Excellent purchase!

These devices are well made, and based on experience with previous models and other brands the sound must have been upgraded because I detect a better quality sound this time around. Same music formats I have always used (top mp3 rate available for Windows Media Player shuffling). I use this plugged into my car system. Or I use better headphones. The ones that come with it are just OK. One draw back of this devise. When I tell it shuffle and don't repeat, if I turn it off, then, when I turn it back on it still starts at the beginning of the list.(so it does repeat) So I have to skip songs until I get to where it left off. If there is a way to stop this, someone let me know.

This was purchased for my 12 year old niece. It was easy for her to set-up and use. It is very lightweight and looks nice. No issues so far.

I've had Sony Walkman's since the 80s, starting with a cassette player. Bought this to replace my 10 year old Sony for running. Easy set up right out of the box. Better battery life than earlier models. I also have a high end Sony Hi-Res Walkman (but I am not going to run outside in the rain with that model). Sound quality is good.
