Works for the Warranty Duration

 

I've gone through two versions of these over the past two and a half years. Each of them stopped working a couple months after the one year parts warranty period ended.

Great form and function

Breaks down in about a year

I listen to MP3 audio books...

 

I listen to mp3 books while I do housework and gardening. I hate headphone wires, they get caught on everything and rip the player out of your pocket or ears. I needed a either a player built into the headset or bluetooth headphones. Bluetooth is more...

No floppy wires, Plenty of room for books, Downloading is easy,Price is OK

No fast forward or reverse, No reliable bookmarking, Ear buds a little painful

Does not stay on

 

Bought this for my husband and he absolutely does not like it. He used it once and it did not stay in his ear so put it aside and bought regular headphones. I tried it and it did the same. Wasted my money.

Excellent player for active people (runners)

Great one-of-a-kind MP3 player!

 

This mp3 player is an example of near-perfect execution of design and convenience in a player that meets the needs of athletes/active people. By definition of its purpose, it's wireless-ness is just great freedom. It makes music so convenient, less...

waterproof, easy to use, great sound, lightweight, great interface, compatability

no forward/rewind

It's probably nice

 

How can a company as big as Sony not support the Mac platform for a music device? This makes no sense at all. I will probably send them back.

Nice design

No Mac Support

SONY has made a HUGE improvement!

 

I have been a faithful customer of the Wireless Walkman since the original one released a few years back. I searched for a way to waterproof the original, even going so far as to open it up and spray the internal computer chips with rubberizing liquid...

Super Lightweight! Water Resistant, Quality audio, Ease of use

No Fast Forward or Rewind feature

Earbuds need design help

 

I bought these for running. I love the simplicity and size. They are suprisingly easy to operate. However, the earbuds keep falling out!! I have tried all three earbud sizes provided and cannot keep these in my ears for more than a few minutes at a...

Great in theory, no cords, very compact

Earbuds do not stay in place

Needs a bit more work...

 

I bought these for my gym workouts, no running, just no or low impact stuff. The earpieces don't stay in my ears, even though I'm not making any sudden movements. I have tried all the earpieces that came with it, but it doesn't matter.

Great sound, no cords

Won't stay in ears
