The good: The Sony W-Series Walkman offers an innovative, ultracompact design that incorporates an MP3 player into a pair of earbuds. It's easy to use and Sony includes a unique feature for browsing songs.
The bad: The Sony W-Series Walkman does not have a screen and will not be comfortable for all users.
The bottom line: If you're looking for a sweat-resistant, all-in-one solution for rocking out at the gym, the Sony W-Series Walkman will provide just that.

Disappointed
by 66spartan on November 1, 2010
Pros: Well built, no wires, easy to upload/charge, simple controls.
Cons: No bass range which sucks! Had to reset from the get go for it to play. Uncomfortable in the ears. No case, just a plastic holder that snaps together.
Summary: There was no review to read so I trusted Sony and the idea of not having ear bud wires was appealing, but its uncomfortable to wear compared to ear buds. ...

Summary: There was no review to read so I trusted Sony and the idea of not having ear bud wires was appealing, but its uncomfortable to wear compared to ear buds. The biggest drawback is no bass range. That's why we buy these things for good sound quality. I had a $16 Dano-Elec MP3 that sounded better. Trusting Sony was another let down. They are not the company they once were. Paying nearly 70 bucks should get you good sound......come on! Forget this one!

Summary: Purchased pre-market at a health and fitness expo. So far, this product has lived up to my expectations. It puts out a nice sound; easy to download music; it has a quick charge and seems to maintain a charge for a long period of time. It is lightweight and portable. I recommend it for everyone age 8 to adult.

Good for all athletics
by XtremeFabio on July 24, 2010
Pros: small and easy can be brought for extreme heavy lifting training such as cross fit!
Cons: none yet, perhaps a missing lcd display but not a biggie
Summary: if you are working out with cross fit or kettlbells/MMA this player get you going when you having hard time giving up normally. Cheers from Sweden, Stockholm!
