Aiwa HS-GMX45/50

Advantages: it all works
Disadvantages: it has no soul

...I have had better I have had worse, the sound quality is typical Aiwa, middle of the range.

Well, I personally decided to look in the Argos catalogue for a bargain Walkman made by a brand I could trust. I opted for the same manufacturer as my Hi-Fi, Aiwa, and this attractive little Aiwa HS-TX486 caught my eye at a very affordable price. PRICE ************* I forget what the price was back then, but now after some research I can tell you that this little gem can now be bought for just £20.00, which is a real... Read review
