A real clunker
Don’t be fooled by the word “Sports” in the name. This is an unwieldy item not suitable for use during running or walking. I was particularly disappointed because my last Sony Sports model was small, lightwieght, and survived my less than gentle handling for 5 years. Too bad they broke the mold.

I’m returning mine!
This unit is awful. It is heavy and the aluminum piece flops out uncontrolably (it doesn’t stay latched down). This is not like some of the models you may have seen in the stores. Do not waste your money on this walkman!

Best walkman on earth
If you are a jogger/runner, this is the walkman for you. After ruining several other “regular” walkmans, I broke down and bought the Sony sports walkman. It doesn’t eat your cassette tapes, wear out the batteries too quickly, and allows for consistent tape play back while running. It is a little more money than other walkmans, but worth every penny. You will never need to buy another walkman to run with again.
