Product Reviews

I went swimming with it but the problem is that it doesn't hook well with my ear. There is a few time, it flip up after some swim.

Bought similar model 2 years back but sound is having issue on one of the side after using it at least once a week in the swimming pool.

can swim and drop off in water max volume not loud enough accidental press and battery depleted unknowingly

I bought this in Jan using my birthday voucher and I am happy with my purchase. I had an older bulkier version that is still working perfectly but I wanted a new one to indulge myself for my birthday. This product did not disappoint. It was lighter and more compact, there is an hard case holder assessory that I can purchase to protect the walkman from being crushed in my bag. The music sounded good and it did not have song latency when I am listening to it when running unlike the older version. Overall, happy with it!

Much better fit compared to the earlier version. Buttons are also better accessible. Good value for money for someone who sums with it.

I bought a few but it lasted for about six months and the faulty units have to be discarded. I find the Walkman useful while swimming as I enjoyed the music. However, there is no other better brands in the market than SONY. It is use for short period, discard and buy new one.

I have bought 3 devices as of date and all of them have an issue after close to 2 years of use. The devices stop turning on although full charged and no amount of “Re-Setting” helps !

Bought this one month ago. No regrets. Better than the previous version in terms of friendliness of use.

This is my 3rd pair and the quality has improved over the years. They last about 2 years. Then again, I swim at least 4 times a week up to 1.5 hours per session. Chose the earbud with the best fit, to make sure water doesn't get in your ears, else there will be little sound.

I have been using the older version. Tried using some other Bluetooth earphones but still prefer this product for its convenience

easy to use and good soundproof definitely will be using for a long time

Bought the older model and use it for many mnay years. Recently, the old gave way so changed to the latest model. Ease of use and superb clarity much better than the older model.

1st piece gone after 13 months. Bought 2nd piece and hope life span can last longer than 1st piece.

I bought a famous headset brand touted as Dive model for Swimming and it didn’t work- it cut out every time I dived! So I returned it for this Sony. Right away I could see the quality of the Sony headset and the charger is miles ahead of the brand I bought initially. The Sony worked flawlessly and even came with special earbuds for Swimming.

Impressive, improvement from older model of Walkman I bought previously

I’ve many Sony products but I knocked off one star for these reasons: 1. It won’t cost you, Sony, to give a minimum of 8GB storage. 4GB is just too stingy. 2. Maximum volume using the swimming ear tips is a bit soft. 3. Having a ridge or lattice design on the housing happens to irritate my ears every now and then. What’s wrong with a smooth finish?

Plug and swim. No opening to seal, no worries. Best companion for long solo swim! Hope Sony can add audio battery indicator in future models.

I bought this around 3 weeks ago and it has made all the difference to my swimming routine. I used to get bored and stop after 25 minutes or so, but now I swim for around an hour each time simply because I can listen to my favourite songs while I swim. Super easy to set up and use. Charges quickly via USB. Comfortable to wear. Comes with multiple ear buds for wet and dry use. I highly recommend this for swimming.

Have been using it a couple of weeks and I love it. Drum and Bass DJ Goldie has one, so I decide to try one. The build quality isn’t fantastic if you are used to Apple products, but it does the trick. You get used to the buttons after a while and if you are listening to long mixes like I do (1hour plus) then you don’t have to play about with them. The other criticism is it isn’t very loud when you are in the water. would like to see that addressed in the

I went for a swim with it and i feel great. Thanks Sony. my best friends

It's everything I need in a sports music player. Waterproof, great fitting, long battery life. Ambient sound is useful. Almost perfect ... if only it can separate the music into selectable folders.

I bought this for swimming and the sound quality didn't disappoint me. Made my 1hr swim less boring with music. Didn't get the bluetooth version because I only use this for swimming.

Walkman is usable under water as long as the water does not leak into your ear. This is possible via the supplied water buds. But the battery-life is only half (6 hours) of what is advertised (12 hours). As for uploading MP3 tracks to the walkman, it seems to go unresponsive after the upload; and the only other way to get it working again is to reset it. Initially, this feature led me to think that the unit died. Then I found that resetting it allows it to be responsive again with the songs intact. (Also works on Linux although not quite support by the Song app)

No audio! After many attempts to restart including a factory reset it still has no audio but there is green led light. Will have to send it in for repair!
