Amazing for Small Ears!

 

This is a really great product. I love how easy it is to use (once you get used to wear the buttons are). I think it's great for people with small ears b/c my ear buds never stay in place and these did...while running!

light weight, easy to use, great to run with, wonderful for working out

Learning curve of where the buttons are

Cool Design, Wouldn't Stay in Place

 

I was really excited to receive the Walkman. Unfortunately, I probably won't use it while running because it kept falling out of my ears. Admittedly, I have had this problem with other earbuds. Might be better if it wrapped more snuggly over ear to...

No cords! Hurray

Moved around during run

Amazing Cord Free Headphones

 

Love these. They are comfy to wear for 1 hour workouts or just around the house. The fact that they have the built in MP3 player means that you don't have to have a cord running down your arm.

Cord Free with Built In MP3 player

Ear Bud design eventually became uncomfortable

Not Apple-friendly

 

I like the concept of the Sony Walkman since I don't have to hold anything like an iPhone, iPod or MP3 player or worry about wearing a belt that does. And the sound is great. But, since I have all Apple products, including a MacBook Pro and iPhone, I...

Nothing to hold

Doesn't work well with Apple products

Worth it!

hands free- comfortable ear buds

Sony Walkman W - Great for the active lifestyle!

 

I love this Sony Walkman W!!! Its lightweight, has no wires, and charges in a flash. I love how I can leave this in the workout bag for the week and it will last.

Wireless! Lightweight! Works awesome

Sweaty ear canals can cause earbuds to slip out

Walkman Review

 

This is a great product. I'm amazed that these aren't more popular. I'm not a member of the cult of apple, so I previously used a Zune for when flying or working out. If you want music for working out, this is a no brainer.

Good product

 

I originally had the 1st generation of this product that had the headphones the small usb type player. My wife ended up washing it with my clothes so i went on amazon to buy the original. Sony upgraded to this hands free player, i was skeptical so i...

still going strong after a year

 

i can't say enough good things about this player. i have a job where i do a lot of physical labor, so corded headphones are not an option. i had the first generation as well, and this fixed a lot of the major problems, with the inclusion of an on/off...
