Original Sony Walkman Headphones

Quite a bit like the old original Sony Walkman, only this seems more solidly built. I put in an old cassette, plugged in headphones and it works great! Wow/flutter not noticeable. And the price is very reasonable... back in 1981 the Sony Walkman cost over $100... so this costing $105 in 2024 is really quite a good deal! There's no noise reduction or bass boost, but that didn't seem to be a problem when I listened to a tape. And the volume control has lots of gain, setting it at a comfortable listening volume I barely had it turned up. I'm thinking of figuring out an adaptor cord to see if I can plug the headphone jack into the RCA plugs on my stereo (where I'll be able to add some equalization if needed).

This is an easy review for me because this is my 9th Sony Walkman. This walkman holds 20-25 books from your library that will never expire.. Connect them to a speaker and you can clean your house, or take a walk and listen quietly while you can’t sleep with earbuds. I’m amazed these aren’t flying off the shelf and big tech companies aren’t updating these wonders.

Headline says it - and this is true even while using the custom firmware by Mr. Walkman in the original (AM[1]). HOWEVER to use as a player only a lot of android de-bloating needs to occur. This is how I use it to play my files from a micro-sd card. On the other hand you can likely use this one device as the center of a great system, including streaming, purchasing, downloading, if you want to take advantage of what android CAN do for you. A fine upgrade.

Used with my Sony headphones after the original pads wore out. Worked great.

Recently purchased sony sports walkman, one blue for the wife and one black for myself. Both of us are very pleased with items, easy to use and hardly noticeable when wearing on runs. Have not yet used for swim but that is in the works. Great item very happy with purchase and service.

I purchased this Sony Walkman NWE 394 in November 2016 for myself and also purchased 2 others as gifts. It is easy to use and extremely lightweight! The music sound is beautiful with the included ear buds. The only drawback is that I wish it had Bluetooth in order to use it with wireless in-ear headphones. All you have to do is download the app to your computer and once you open the APP it automatically finds all of your music, videos, photos on your computer and loads them to the APP. Once loaded to the APP select All to add them to the Walkman. Easy as pie. Music and videos sound wonderful. Also has an FM Radio included if you want to listen to a radio station.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this back in August for a sony Walkman and I have had no issues over heavy use.

Working fine in my Sony NW-A55 Digital Walkman. Highly recommended for memory capacity and price.

With the new Walkman this the best combination i have bought in years.

This replacement ear pad is better than the original for my Sony MDR-V6 headphones. I use these for recording marching band contests and they are very comfortable.
