Summary: Faulty Headphone Jack and Poor Customer Service
Review: The product looked nice, but after using the system for a couple of months the headphone jack became loose and affected the sound (after that, I would need to press my thumb against the headphone jack so that the sound wouldn't break-up).In addition, navigating through AIWA's customer service is almost as bad as dealing with the IRS. It makes their warranty practically worthless. In my experience, the AIWA products I've owned (one shelf system, and one portable tape player) have functionally lasted about a year or less. Save yourself some money (and more importantly the headache of dealing with their customer service) and buy a Sony or a Pioneer (or anything else) instead.

Summary: A disappointed buyer
Review: This is a nice little walkman, the sound is very good the hold feature is nice to prevent accidentally switching stations if you're carrying it in a purse or backpack. The major fault I find with it and the reason I gave it two stars are the headphones, they are very uncomfortable, the foam ear pieces are very thin and actually hurt your ears a bit even though they don't fit closely. Also with the sound down fairly low someone sitting next to me could hear the music quite well, not something you want for a plane trip or sitting on mass transit. I bought this specifically because I liked the idea of having tuning and volume control on a remote on the headphones so I could keep it in my bag and not risk dropping it but the headphones were so bad I wound up using my old pair and foregoing the remote. To bad because it's a nice product except for that.
