I'm not the high-end expert, but a real Walkman skin around. The sound is great, I use Sennheiser In Ear's for 6.90 and the sound is awesome here already. When old recordings and bootlegs can see fine, because then all the flaws come through clearly. The touch screen works perfectly for me and the menu navigation is as it should be with a Walkman. Battery lasts very long. So I b already spent in more than happy and have a lot of beautiful music lessons with the particles.
