great mp3 headset combo. great sound. i like that it gives 3 sets of earbuds (sm,med,lrg). its pretty basic.on/off,forward/backwards,scan. thats all i need. love love that i can recharge via usb! it took some time to adjust to this style of headset but once you find the fit it stays on very well. I have long hair and wear in ponytail so i had to find that fit. I wished i bought the 4 gig in white instead. but the black is not as noticable at work.

I have had this MP3 player for 12 days and will be sending it back first thing in the morning. The ear buds keep popping out. I was on the treadmill and every 6 seconds I had to readjust the earbuds. It was so frustrating I had to take them off. I had the previous version and had the same problem but I wore a head band or scarf and it was fine. I can't get this new design to work for me. Oh well. I'm very sad because I loved not having the cords getting in my way.

I have owned many mp3's over the years. I bought the Sony Wearable Walkman 13 months ago. I cannot find anything wrong with this product. The sound is good, easy to use, I have used it almost every day at the gym, the beach, working in the yard. It is a great product and it is cheaper then anything Apple sells and it is a better product.. The best features are no cords, and it has a button that you touch and you move to a new set of songs in lieu of the next song..

Compact & easy to set up!

i love this Sony MP3 player! First of all, it was super easy to transfer my mp3 music files to the Sony Player. It comes with its own usb cable to help with the transfer. All I had to do was drag & drop the files over! I didn't have to sync anything or go to a different program like other mp3 players. This is super lightweight to wear & the sound quality surprised me. Because the ear buds fit well into the ear, you hear less outside noise than the traditional Apple ear buds. I used this during my jog & there were no cables to get tangled with! It almost felt like a wireless earphones because I didn't have any cables that got in the way. I even used it around the house while doing chores. This is an awesome player!!!

Review 10 for Sony Wearable Walkman MP3 Player, Black
Great sound but not a perfect fit in my ear

I really like the sound quality and the ease of use of this headphone. I'm not sure if I have a small head but the headphone did not fit in my ear tightly and once in a while it popped out. I do a lot of running and was not able to use it for that purpose but I think it makes a great set for traveling, work, stationary bike, etc. I'd recommend it but it would be great if Sony could add a size adjustment feature to these.

Things I loved:
Form factor: Pretty light-weight with no wires to tangle and get stuck on clothes when you're working out.
Form factor: Pretty light-weight with no wires to tangle and get stuck on clothes when you're working out.
Water resistant: Didn't really test this out, but all the ports have tight fitting covers and I have no reason to doubt Sony on this.
Customizable fit: The headphones come with three different sizes for the ear buds. I started with the mediums, but moved to the smalls to better fit my ear canals.
Things I wasn't crazy about:
The connecting cable is plastic and occasionally tugs one side or the other out.

PC Specific Software: It works with Mac, but it takes a little work. The software is built for windows. If you have a Mac, plugging in the USB cable mounts the Walkman as a drive. All you have to do is drop your music from your computer into the appropriate folder on the player and you're good to go. That said, it took 30 minutes of hunting around the Sony site to not find that out.

Review 13 for Sony Wearable Walkman MP3 Player, Black
Great for exercising - no wires and good sound

I've used several different models of MP3 players over the years and was a little skeptical of these at first. I thought that they might be uncomfortable or clunky. I was wrong!
These are surprisingly comfortable and the fact that there are no wires make them excellent for someone who likes to wear them while exercising. I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally snagged myself in the past on headphone wires.
They are very lightweight and feel more like one of the current super-light bluetooth headsets. I wore them for over an hour and didn't have any issues. The sound quality is good too - make sure you put on the proper sized ear buds (it comes with a couple sizes) for the best fit.
Uploading music to them isn't difficult using the included USB cable but here is where I have a couple of minor gripes. First, they are only compatible with a Windows machine - sorry Mac users. Second, though they will work with iTunes, any digital rights managed files will not work. If you use MP3 files or DRM-free AAC files, however, you'll be fine.
The controls are pretty simple but take a little getting used to because you control them by feel.
All in all, I was pleasantly surprised by these and recommend them especially for anyone who likes to listen to music while being active.
Pros: lightweight, good sound, no wires
Cons: PC only, some rights-managed AAC files will not work

This is really good product with great idea. The sound quality is very good. It is very easy to operate and maintain as well. Really great product for the people who spend their time in gym.
It is little uncomfortable and loose on my ears as I got small ears, so they come off sometimes.
But Overall good product.

It was really easy to load the music and the music comes out really clear. The price is very reasonable and I love that it's so small and portable. I was able to store a lot of music on it and was able to use it when I went bike riding!

This provides a nice solution to the annoying wires -- easy to load and use. Bluetooth would be a nice option here.

Great for running and not bulky

When I first tried these I was afraid these earphones were going to be too bulky and quite nerdy looking. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they were not that noticeable and fit very nicely in my ears. It takes a little adjusting at first but I love how they stay in my ears when I go for a run. The buttons to control volume, song selection, shuffle and power are all conveniently located just at the bottom of the earphone. One thing to note is the directions don't mention anything about setting up with a Mac computer, but it was actually very easy. Just plug in the usb and when you see the Walkman mounted on your desktop you can simply drag your music over directly to the music folder. All in all a great buy for such a low price.

The Walkman headphones were easy to load up with music and have enough space to hold a lot of music content. After finding the correct size ear piece (the item comes with three different sizes) the headphones stayed in place and were comfortable to wear. They are also durable and could withstand being dropped a couple of times. Cordless headphones are a great idea.

I've been using this everyday for almost 10 days now. The audio quality is good, the controls are well placed and the product is easy on the eyes. I think the biggest issue with this item is that it is not designed well for wearability. The ear pieces keep sliding out of the ears if I walk a bit or chew gum or turn my head fast! The various sizes of ear plugs don't help with this at all. I read reviews of the predeccor NWZ-W252 and that one had a tension rod to press the earphones slightly inside the ear. Apparently that worked really well even while running, this one will slide even with walking! Therefore I will not be rcommending this model to anyone.
