Well, Ordered on October 8, 2022
Was very happy as you can read below.
Not even a year later, and pffffft. It's toast.
It only plays one song, and restarts.
I reset the unit back to factory. Nope. I erased all the songs, restarted. Put only a couple of tunes on there. Nope. I would have thought that for $62.50, the unit would have lasted 4, or 5 years? Nope.
Buy another one? Nope. -Heavy sigh- the search for a replacement begins again.
Recently, my old music player (an older Galaxy S4) finally gave out.
Whenever I am in my workshop I always have music playing, makes projects get done faster.
I looked around to find an MP3 player that I could leave plugged in, without relying on the batteries. This unit fit the bill perfectly!
The unit arrived today, and I loaded it up with my favorite MP3 files.
At first I was surprised at how small the unit is, but don't let that fool you. It packs a big sound wallop!
The interface is simple and efficient in design.
When plugged into a computer via usb (windows 10) the screen on the player defaults to the computer, and doesn't let you control the player. This is for file transfer, and a good thing.
When plugged into a usb wall charger the unit runs the same as on battery power.
I do have an older set of (thumper) computer speakers that I use for in the workshop. they run on a standard 3mm input jack, the same size as the headphone jack that came with the unit.
So, what's my take away? Excellent! Very happy, and impressed with the purchase.
I want to give an extra special THANK YOU to those who answered my questions:
LTC LDD · chris cochran · Michael Blair · Old Kid ·
You're answers were spot on! Thank you again.
I gave it a good rating because it seems to work pretty well for what it is supposed to do.
Listening to podcasts is motivating for me when I walk. I wanted to keep my podcasts separate from the bedtime stuff.
I haven't had a Walkman since the first caseet walkmans came out! I think I spent $270 for that thing, and it was a fine piece of metal and machinery. It felt so good in the hand.
This mp3 player is nothing whatsoever like that. It doesn't give you the feeling that you're holding a quality piece of Sony gadgetry, one that gives you the feeling of listening adventure ahead! Instead, this Walkman is a cheap piece of light Chinese plastic. The photo screen is exactly the same quality as my 1990's Creative Zen (which passed away long ago). I think this Walkman is a poor piece of equipment for $50. Even for $25; you expect the Sony name to be quality. This is not.
With that said, this player is very light. I bought it because I cannot use Bluetooth - the wireless stuff hurts my ears with extended use, which is why I can't use my phone for podcasts outside the house with a headset, even wired it just hurts. People that complain about " this player has no Bluetooth!" need to pick a Bluetooth option - there are so many. The wired headsets are for people like me, with sensitivities to the signals against their heads. I specifically only wanted that feature.
One this I really needed is an ability for the equipment to keep it's place on a podcast. I have this 3 hour podcast I'm trying to get through. My walks are about a half hour. The player keeps the place if I turn it off and back on. But if I'm even the slightest bit clumsy, fat fingered or slip to one of the other areas of the arrow circle instead of hitting Play directly, my place will be lost. I have fast forwarded to my place only to have it reset to 0 about five times. You have to FF and then only touch play. Touch anything else and it's back to 0 again. Pretty darn annoying. I absolutely have to pay attention to how far I am in to the podcast before I shut the player off. This may cause me some issues in usage that make me reconsider this player. But, I'm not sure how this will work on another player without me trying things and sending back.
I still may shop for a nicer player before my time is up to send this one back. If I could get one that felt better in my hands and didn't look like it came out of the Dollar Tree, I still might upgrade.
Hope this helped if you are considering this. I don't mean to be negative about this. It is a good basic player and the sound is good. The radio works just great (my SanDisk Clip picks up zero stations). Don't buy this if you like to look at photos. But if you want a basic player with simple wired headphones, with good capability to drag and drop at the computer, fast charging, very light, and the Sony name, consider this. If you're looking something that feels good in the hand with a bit more refined look and features, maybe look elsewhere.

La apariencia del aparato se ve muy simple su construcción, es fácil manejarlo, la único que hubiera deseado es que incluyera un reloj, los audífonos que incluyen son de relleno si quieres buen sonido necesitas otros. Yo lo estoy utilizando con unos Sony MDR-EX650AP y si se hace la gran diferencia en rendimiento del reproductor.
Si los recomiendo pero si tienes que usarlo con unos buenos audífonos.
