SMALL PROBLEM BUT FOUND A SUITABLE SOLUTION

I had a small problem. I ordered two identical Sony Walkman players; However, I used two different providers. One worked great and I had no problems. The other one didn't work at all when I put in new batteries. My problem was that I hadn't verified which seller the defective item was purchased from, so I couldn't tell who the defective Walkman came from. However, this is not a problem. I've used Sony Walkmans for decades because I'm a runner and enjoy recording my favorite music while running.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Crumpled

I finally have it

When I was in college in the 70's I was deeply, deeply engrossed in my music. I chose a cassette player. That's when I first heard about the Walkman. It was the first and best of all subsequent cassette players. But I had a low income. I couldn't afford a Walkman. So for many years I was content with non-brand players that were of poor quality and had many flaws. Brands like Colby and that damn awful Jensen made me throw money straight into the bin. I felt trapped in "tape recorder hell" until…

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Kudos to Sony for staying in the game

I listen to a wide range of classical music and opera, often very long pieces, and prefer a cassette player to a portable CD player for its versatility and openness. , often excellent sound quality (I use my own cassettes). iPods are cumbersome crap with poor sound quality for my type of listening. Anyway, I now have the penultimate Panasonic player, which incidentally came with some of the best headphones ever made at any price point. In any case, I bought a Sony as a backup, since all such…

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Very expensive
