Product Reviews

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!

This is the third Walkman I bought sine year 2016. First one last about a year. Second one misplace. So I bought the current one for my Swimming activity

Bought the earphones for about a month ago and been frequently using it for swimming. Amazing stuff and keeps my mind off the boring laps while I swim!

I am happy with the handphone. Easy to use. easy to operate.

Purchase this to replace my similar but older Sony device which was having charging issue. Glad to see that the charging mechanism is different and hopefully won't give me any charging issue as previous.

I bought it last month and this was my number 4th piece so far. I have no other choice as I love to listen to music while swimming. The last 3 pieces were spoiled after just a few months and I have to send to the service centre for repair. And I have choosed to buy a new piece instead. All in all, this product is not waterproofed. This number 4 piece that I bought last month will have a buzz sound whenever I swim. I really tired of this product. Finally, the capacity is just 4 GB and I hope it will be bigger in the future product. Hope to hear from you.

So far so good. Non swim earbuds work for swimming for me too

This is the third pieces I bought since 2015. My Sister bought one on my recommendation.

This is my 3rd unit, the first is a first generation waterproof walkman , the second is with blue tool and but the current is just waterproof walkman but the sound is as good or even better than the earlier version.

Sound quality is just normal. Not much improvement compared to previous version. Added a few features which not very useful to me.

I bought the Waterproof and dustproof Walkman because the last one I had did not function anymore. I like the wirefree device...no more headphone wires getting in the way.

1. Bought less than a year ago, spoilt but I couldn’t send for repair cos I didn’t know better to register the product online. Lost receipt too. 2. Bought another same one at Sony Nex. Sent for repair after less than a month’s use. this time I registered the item online to get extended 3 months warranty. 3. Counter staff at Nex asked when I bought when I already passed him the receipt. it’s written there says 6 April 2018. Walkman Went dead on me on 29 April 2018! Please educate your staff.

I like the concepts of the design but the new Walkman did not service me well.i been use the old first Walkman for run and follow me for run over 8000 km . and song can be choose and select different type of music in each music file. but for the new one not able to make few music file. if you use the old one that allow and feel sick of the song just press forwards all hundred love you can listen and if you do not like press forwards the next file new age music play for you. the new one not able to do that . And on and off press bottom not so good. i will not recommend my friend to buy.

Originally I was very happy with them. Then they stopped working after 2 weeks. Will not turn on.
