Panasonic RQSW33V Shockwave Personal Stereo

Rating:
Summary: I hope it's not discontinued! I want another one!
Review: I love mine! I've dropped it a hundred times and it keeps working perfectly. I love the fact that it only takes one AA battery. It makes it much more light weight.

Summary: excellent product
Review: I've used these for years, and they've taken some serious abuse I've used them while running in the rain, dropped them, etc. The sound is great, and the design is nice. These are perfect for athletes who are still using cassette tapes rather than mp3's or CD's while working out. General advice: Panasonic's sport walkmans are far superior to (another brand). (another brand) always broke in less than a year. I switched to Panasonic because they warranty their Shockwave parts for a year rather than 3 months (like (anther brand's) ... walkman). The Panasonics have been superior across the board. I've had several because I lost some and had to buy new ones; one broke after about two years (of serious abuse). The only advantage (another brand) has is the brand name (they pioneered the personal stereo.) Don't buy (another brand); stick with Panasonic.
