I was looking for something to take to college as I need to listen to music when am working and I wanted something good and decent size so I searched the web for a decent walkman for a ok price but didn’t find anything I preferred so I went to town into my local Argos where I saw the sale leaflet and they had this model for £25 so I went for it as it looked good, had inner ear phones and was made by a good brand Sony.
UNPACKING
This walkman is packaged in a plastic transparent packaging which you has to cut around in order to get the product out and this is what you should get:-
1x Sony walkman unit 1x Sony branded inner ear phones and some instruction is various languages.
SETUP
Setting this unit up is simple just insert two AA batteries into the unit and plug in the earphones and you’re set to go. This unit also has a mains adapter socket so you can plug it into the mains with a combatable adapter.
USING
This unit is really simple to use First make sure the shock protection is switched on this switch is located inside the disk tray, now insert the CD or your choice and shut the lid the unit should switch on by it self and check the disk and switch off again. To listen to music just press the play button and it will start playing the music. When you skip a track a beep sound will be heard to indicate you are skipping tracks.
FEATURES
This unit is equipped with a 45 second shock protection which is really useful if you will be constantly moving as so cheaper walkmans do not have this feature and keeps constantly pausing and skipping tracks but this is not a problem with this unit. This unit also has MEGABASS This basically gives you the option to enhance the bass it gives you two different options, no mega bass, Little mega base and Full mega bass I have it on full as i listen to a lot of rap, Hip Hop and R’N’B music and this make it sound better then most CD players also I have noticed that with other Personal CD players that have bass boast distort the music and make it sound worse but that is not a problem with this. This also has a hold feature so no buttons will work unless the hold is in the off position which is useful if the unit will be in you pocket.
GENERAL
This unit over all is attractive and good for the price the only thing I was disappointed with the most was that it would not play unbranded CD's properly as it would keep skipping them and I think this unit should be compete with an inline remote for easy access to the tracks. The OSD tell the basic information like Battery life, Volume, Bass option, Repeat and the track number and length.
And that’s all I can say about this thanks for reading.
Advantages: Stylish looking, good price Disadvantages: Not MP3 compatible
...when I came across this Sony one. Firstly it was great that it was Sony, as they are a great brand, secondly the price was nice and low and thirdly it looks very stylish!
I bought it without hesitation! It was packaged well. It was easy to open and nothing was damaged. The sound is good, very clear and it needs a fairly big sudden movement on it to make it stop playing for a second or two. The volume control is great. There are nine volume levels, ... ...It is altered by a button so it is very accurate. There is no pause button but if you press stop(which turns it off) then if you press play again (which turns it on) then it will start in the same place unless you have opened the CD player.
It is extremely easy to use, I didn't even bother to read the instructions. There is a handy 'hold' button, which I always use if I have turned it off, so it doesn't turn on again and waste the battery, or if ...
