works well and sounds great The walkman is a good product. If you have small ears, like mine, the ears phones probably won't fit. I had to buy another headset because there was no way (that I could find) to adjust the ear pieces.
My music companion This Sony DEJ011 CD Walkman, is perfect for people like myself who only uses music only Cd's or (music)Cdr's, to play back their music. It is easy to operate, no fancy gadgets add on's. It should come with a hand strap for easy carrying, but it doesn't. Get a better pair of headphones. It makes a big difference.
Disabling anti skip vastly improves the sound When I first began listening to a CD I was not impressed with the sound of this player as it seemed somewhat veiled or recessed. I played with some of the functions, such as the Mega bass boost, which basically ruined the sound by drowning it in bass, then I tried using the AVLS automatic volume limiter - a function I can't ever foresee using. I found my answer through a careful read of the instructions regarding "G protection. By canceling the anti-skip function the sound VASTLY improved. Since I do my listening in "non" active mode, I'm not jogging or wrestling while listening to the music, this listening mode is the perfect one for me. To disable or enable the G mode, press the off button, then press and hold down the fast forward button then press and hold down the play button. Wait a second or two and look in the display window for G-off or G-on. You will then notice a dramatic improvement in the sound quality. As for battery installation, it took me about 20 seconds to install a pair of Lithium batteries. A child could do it blindfold. Pair this player with a decent set of headphones ( I bought Sony MDR-150) and you've got quite a nice sounding setup. In normal mode, which I use exclusively (meaning no bass boost and G-off) the sound is rich, extended, clear (meaning surprisingly transparent for a player in this price range) and most importantly, it does not pain your ears during long listening sessions.
Overall, I am quite happy with this Sony.
Just what I needed Was looking for a fair priced player to listen to my audiobooks and CD's that were burned at home. Other players did not do well with the home burned CD's, this one excels. I am very active when I use this and it never skips. I love that it recalls the track you stopped at, not only when you temporarily stop play but also when you change the batteries. I love this machine.

Quality good, round shape posses a handeling dificulty, control markings on the edge hard to read, some hard to understand if you are not sign litturate.
Plays well, sound is good. Needs a belt cary case. and possibly an auto adaptor to fit in the casette tape player.
