I've had several CD walkmen, most recently a Sony, which lasted years and worked much better and longer than other brands. Imagine my surprise when I found this Sony CD walkman which also has AM/FM radio - and it's cheaper than my last CD-only Sony! I mostly listen to books on CD with it, but occasionally do use the radio. The reception is good, the sound quality is good for my purposes, and I'm even doing well with the over-the-ear earphones. I'm so pleased. Great purchase!

My 10 year old has this thing in her ear so much, I think she must have super-glued it in! She LOVES it!!!

I have been using my walkman for a couple of weeks now, it has met every expectation I had in this walkman.
The sound is excellent, I do miss that it does not have a clip to fasten on to my jeans. So I just put it in my pocket. I think the sound is perfect, and I can pick up a lot of radio stations.

This product is a total piece of cheap garbage. I would expect Sony to have a decent mid-priced Walkman. I paid extra to get it overnight because I was going out of town and wanted to listen on the plane. I played one CD with brand new Monster batteries and then it stopped. Totally useless. Changing CDs didn't accomplish anything. The radio played, but who cares. Get your act together Sony. You used to be a good company with quality control.

This is a very nice unit except it uses batteries real fast. I don't use the ear buds. I listen to books on cd and I have found this player to be very nice with the sound choices. Music sounds wonderful and I like having an am/fm radio.
