Sony Stereo Walkman

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.

After a cumbersome set up (Stereo instructions challenged I am) the Walkman worked great. Very solid and love the external controls (much like a classic Walkman). Setting up the Walkman was not intuitive and I still fumble around trying to set up Bluetooth connections, etc. Once set up it was fine. I was able to download my music from iTunes (from my MAC) but via a third party app. Do feel that this is a great replacement for my bulky iPod. The cassette tape visual is a nice touch. Very pleased with my purchase despite the setup hiccups.

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).

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.

I bought the stereo receiver for the price and Sony name

I use it with the Sony stereo shotgun mic on a PMW-EX1. Works like a charm.
