waste of money!!!
i bought 2 within an 8 month span - each one lasting no more than 3 months. i think it's mostly the headphone connection. but this is crap! DO NOT BUY! it's not worth the money. Crap! This walkman radio is HUGE, biggest of all. Its almost as big as cassette walkman. The button layout design is evil especially the volume and dx/local dial/button. The reception is LAME! Overal DON'T BUY THIS JUNK. Headphone Connection I have had the same headphone-connection issues as other users have stated here. I was about to buy another Sony, thinking the problem was a fluke, but after reading of other users having the same issue, I think I will pass on this Sony product. In fact, I think I will return mine to the store I purchased it and demand a refund, printing off the reviews from this site. I generally like the product, but had already decided to reinforce the headphone connection when I purchased a new one. Now, however, I will not be purchasing a new Sony, and will find another arm band radio for my workouts. It was ok while it lasted, but should have lasted much longer. I'm disappointed in the product, but happy with the armband concept. Avoid this product unless you are buying for a 3 month usage period. Avoid this product - headphone conncection fails! I just purchased this product and opened the package. Immediatly I noticed that the connection with the headphones either loses sound altogether, or generates lots of static. Then, I read the other reviews here and notice this problem is sytemic in most other units that were purchased. It's going back tomorrow. DON'T BUY IT!!! I don't usually complain about a gift, especially a Sony, but this product warranted it. The stations don't come in clearly and/or consistently. The FM antenna seems to be in the headphone jack, so should you move the station will either fade out or become static-y. The volume control is right near the belt clip so that it is constantly, accidentally being turned up, or turned down. And you can't put some sort of a hold on the volume. The seek doesn't go to to stations that are clear, so you're constantly pressing it down seeking stations manually, which makes walking or jogging hard. This product is not worth the trouble and just stressed me out. | |
