Review on 🎧 Sony Walkman NWZW273 4 GB Waterproof Sports MP3 Player (Blue) - Discontinued Model, Limited Availability by Mark Harris

Revainrating 1 out of 5

My second block, I hope this one doesn't break

This is the second one I've bought. I bought a NWZW273S a year ago and the volume broke after a few weeks - I suspect water got into the unit. This "older" version (not S) appears to be exactly the same, but lacks an additional set of interchangeable headphones with a "cover" over the hole. I just swam for an hour and dived 5 feet and this current model works perfectly. I'll update this review in a few weeks after swimming with it more. The sound is excellent, not deaf like I remember from the "S" series. Update: 08/27/2016 - This device lasted all summer and then mysteriously broke. The volume didn't work. Wouldn't charge. Oh god Sony. I am changing my rating from 3 to 1 star.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Not bad but...
