Summary: Panasonic shockwave walkman
Review: I find the sound great. The headphones hurt my ears and are uncomfortable. The AM does not pick up in the gym but FM is fine. AM picks up fine outdoors and in the house. It works great with the hand held device which I prefer with running. No jarring and I love the antiroll feature. And one battery! I also like that it is not heavy. I find it slighly smaller than the Sony and easier for my smaller hands. It is light weight. I enjoy it as my first digital.

Summary: nice unit, headphones are lame
Review: I just received my player today. Overall, the quality looks pretty nice. I did notice that if you moderatly shake the unit you will get some wow/flutter when listening to tapes. I don't think running with it will cause any problems though. It looks reasonably well sealed. The only rub on this product is that the earbud-sized headphones sound pretty bad. I hooked up an old pair of Sony headphones (typical 'on the ear' as opposed to 'enclosing the ear' size) which improved the sound quality dramatically (roughly 50%). I've listened to 2 different ear-bud sized headphones, and they both sound pretty bad compared to the bigger sizes.

Summary: Panasonic shockwave walkman
Review: I love this Panasonic Shockwave. I have gone trhough several walkmen (or walkmans) in the last few months. Each has had its irritating problems (too easy to bump the volume or some other setting, bad reception or volume control, battery hog, battery and tape falls out when dropped, etc.) and each has broken beyond repair after being dropped accidentally.

My new Shockwave has survived several bumps and crashes with no ill effects. It has digital tuning with prerecorded stations (what a bonus, definite time and emotional energy savings here.) The volume dial is not easuly bumped and the belt clip is easily removable.

The only annoyance is that when you turn the radio on it tunes into AM first (you have to press the button a second tiem to go to FM) and I never listen to AM. This is not a big problem.

The shockwave is a rugged piece of equipment with some great bonus features. I recommend it highly.

Summary: Shockwave Player Plus
Review: Look at it- You could smash an mp3 player to bits with this thing, while playing a tape. I defy you to find another walkman that is red and black, and as bad-a^^ as this one. Also, Shockwave is a technology owned and pioneered by Macromedia, and allows for interactive, vector based streaming entertainment. This walkman is Macromedia's flagship Shockwave player, and doesn't require any plug-ins.
