Summary: Let's Face it. This is not a Classic but it's Darn Good!
Review: I'm not going to write a book on this, this will be pretty basic. This is basically a portable tape player with AM/FM radio. The color is stylish, the size is small, the size of a standard tape. It's easy to use, fashionable, very portable, and good looking. A must buy for people who like going to the gym, or do other activities involving portable electronics. A CD player is always superior to tape though. =)

Summary: The headphones are a nightmare!!!
Review: My ears were in excruciating pain after trying to stuff the awkwardly shaped headphones into my ear canal. I figured maybe it's because I have small ears so I gave them to my girlfriend who has a fairly large inner ear area. The same thing happened to her. The actual walkman is pretty cool, especially the battery life. Just expect to buy a new pair of headphones before considering purchasing it.

Summary: Two strikes and you're out!
Review: The first problem I had with the product was the earphone plug. When it rotates in the plug hole the radio signal breaks up or completely disappears. Returned that one and got another one....... Well, on the second one I attempted to preset a radio station. To do this you need to press the "hold" button. I follow the instructions and the "hold" button got stuck. Couldn't get the radio to switch off or change stations because the "hold" was broken. I removed the battery for more than 30 seconds. Guess what??? The "hold" was still there. This meant that I couldn't get a radio station on because the "hold" kept the radio off. I am not getting another one. These incidents have occurred within the past four days. I have used the item less then 20 minutes and already all these breakdowns.

Summary: Music Lover
Review: The Panasonic Shockwave player is a great player. It is well constructed, takes a beating and has a really good sound. This is not only a great looking player; but a great all around portable.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: adequate, but not great
Review: The quality of the cassette player itself is very, very good. It is extremely durable.

But, as other reviewers have indicated, the headphones are terrible. They are hard unyielding plastic and flat out hurt.

If you buy this player, plan on buying some other headphone. I bought PHILLIPS #sbcHS303 for $10.00 at Target. They are 3-way flexible and adjustable to your ear. The sound is very good and they are comfortable.

Summary: i like it
Review: This is a great walkman. It has comfortable headphones, a cool design, and holds many preset stations. What i don't like about it is that it has no clock on it. Also, the description said it came with an armband which isn't entirely true. The handgrip is big enough to fit around my bicep, but only because i am a girl and don't have huge biceps. The handgrip is a nice feature though as is the lap counter.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: a decent product
Review: This is a very decent product. I would have given only 3 stars but the headphones are great. For anyone looking to buy a walkman for personal use this one is great. Though a little pricy.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: No auto stop
Review: This unit has no auto stop on the tape player. A must for any auto reverse. I also do not like the rubber setting selectors they stick. I wanted a decent functional tape player and this wasn't it. For the money very disappointing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Deal!
Review: We bought this for the sports design. It has lots of features, only uses one battery and is truly rugged!
