Old-school audiophile's dream

This retro device is a dream come true for audiophiles. The sound quality is superior to many modern devices, with rich bass and clear highs that convey the full range of your favorite tapes. The simple design makes it easy to use and durable enough to withstand years of use. As my tests showed, even tapes I hadn't played in years sounded great on this player. The only downside? No Bluetooth or digital conversion means it's not ideal for anyone looking to digitize their tape collection.

Pros
  • Superior sound quality, durable and easy to use.
Cons
  • No Bluetooth or digital conversion for tapes.

That's a good Walkman; I just wish I could control the volume.

Good player; I just wish I could adjust the volume to my liking, but I think I know and understand why the Walkman only cranks the volume up to a certain level, and I'm okay with that. IM getting used to it.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some little things

THAT DOES NOT WORK!

I have not opened this item since 2014, assume I have a genuine Sony Collective Player. I decided to open it up and use it and was very surprised to see that it just didn't work. The tape rolls as if it were, but there was never a sound on several tapes I've tried. I've had this for years and I think I have a good team. The player weighs next to nothing, is likely missing components, and looks like an obvious fake. Be careful when buying from this seller!

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly creased
