The sound in the headphones is pretty good, has treble and bass, however can not really regulate individually; Although you can press the sound button, but because does not do much. The small external speakers are expected from the sound of her rather mediocre good, but make it just to listen to music without headphones in low low volume. Add to this pulls the headphones around your neck, the volume is loud enough, because you're any outside noise, for example in traffic, still would like to take. If you have the Walkman hanging around his neck, but this pushes with its robust construction, which is very fast uncomfortable! One can the Walkman still lay next to him, but actually it should also be possible to use the external speaker without complaints when these are traveling around the neck. But perhaps the device also rather for children and adolescents is designed with narrow necks and not for adults. The setting for the head size is well adjusted.
Another problem is traveling on the holder head. If you sit at home quietly, everything is ok, but at faster movements threatening the Walkman used as headphones to slip off the head, because it is relatively hard but. The weight of the Walkman is 315 grams that is not insignificant.
The operation, however, is easy to handle. On the left earphone: on / off, change headphones / external speakers, on the right earphone: play / pause, forward and back, volume, shuffle function. What, however, entirely lacking is any view orientation, because there is no display. You have to click through the up to 15.7 GB mp3 files, if you're looking for a particular album or a particular song is quite simply. Since no titles are displayed, you have to listen to the pieces to see what you have there going on. Or connect your Walkman to your computer or your smartphone. The advantage of Kabellosigkeit has then done again, however. Also, it is quite cumbersome.
If you just want flexible hear some music at home or on the go, be it with or without headphones, the Walkman is apart from the described narrow neck quite practical. But if you want to know beyond what you actually hear and there in search is for specific albums or tracks, then just missing the display. And the problem increases with the amount of shared memory. For people who constantly have anyway their smartphone at hand, like this problem is not so serious. But for me there together with the problems of the bracket around the neck 2 points deduction, as this together but use delight restricts not insignificant.
