not recommended for podcast listeners
I bought this primarily to listen to podcasts and it's essentially unusable for that. From stuff online, I knew I'd have to do some stuff manually (make a podcast folder, number the episodes to keep them in order). What I didn't realize was that the device doesn't keep track of where you are in the episode and fast forwarding is extremely slow and tedious. So if your listening is interrupted it's painful to get to where you were. Fine for music and radio

    Good sound. Need better instructions.
    Directions for use are not very clear. Mostly pictures. Makes for steep learning curve.

    Great product.
    The Walkman was easy to charge and easy to download songs onto it.

    This MP3 player is the exact copy to the one I'm replacing, plus the battery life is better. It's all that I thought. Plus, I received the player within 3 days of purchase.

    I love these!
    This is the most versatile player I own! Not everything has to be bluetooth! I own more than one and they're all loaded with books! This is so easy to use & great for traveling.

    Simple mp3 player
    I bought it for my mom and she was able to master it , at list to select items and play them. I bought two so I load one and then exchange it when I visit her. It did not kave any technical issues.

    Needs turn off switch, not button.
    Good sound with equalizer options. Fine pixel picture but unneeded. Bought Oct 2019. As of Feb 2022 play button won't work. I can't turn off machine.

    Awesome player for the price!
    Very easy to use including settting up playlists. Great build ang apparent durability, all hallmarks of the Sony brand. The size is perfect and the 8 GB capacity is awesome for the price. My one complaint is it can be difficult to power down but this may be due to my eing a stroke survivor and I sometimes have difficulty using the controls.

    Wonderful player
    I believe the SONY Walkman Audio is the best player I have ever owned. I bought the same one for my son so that he would listen to books during sports training.

    Great Product, Second Time Purchase!
    I had this same item several years ago and loved it. I was unable to charge it because the port broke. I had tried a few other radios that couldn't compare to this one so bought a new one. The lock button is great and your radio channels don't "accidently" change. The reception is very good to listen to sports that you can't get on phone apps. I don't use the mp3 or picture download features. I would recommend this product to anyone that wants a good quality radio. I also like that it is tiny and I don't have to replace batteries all of the time. I just charge it and I'm good for the day.

    Nice little device...
    It's small and compact. This is my third Sony Walkman and they've certainly downgraded the materials. It's made of plastic, not metal, so it's much lighter, but there's no clock feature which is useful for running outside and checking your time, etc. Also the radio settings are not user-friendly. Once the stations are set, it's a challenge to go from one station to the next without exiting the radio option. So it's okay but not as easy to use as the previous versions.

    great MP3 player
    This newer version doesn't have video, but I do like the new controls, but use to the old one. The newer versions performance is better and battery life is 20% better. It has a nice sleek design and easy to use and store. I would suggest getting an ac charger so you don't need a computer for charging. I would suggest this to anyone needing a great MP3 player.

    Handy
    I have had one of these for several years, this one was for my husband. I like that it is compact, easily fits in a pocket. I keep it in my purse. Battery does not drain if left for a couple of weeks, recharges quickly. The only thing I don't like is that it ignores playlists and folders. I had to remove Christmas music that I didn't want to hear on summer vacation.

    Many functions; just want to hear my playlists
    Sony requires the creation of playlists on its own Music Center. I couldn't simply transfer my existing from Windows Media Player. Wish the Mp3 and Windows Media Player were compatible.

    Awesome !!!
    I purchased this Sony Walkman NWE 394 in November 2016 for myself and also purchased 2 others as gifts. It is easy to use and extremely lightweight! The music sound is beautiful with the included ear buds. The only drawback is that I wish it had Bluetooth in order to use it with wireless in-ear headphones. All you have to do is download the app to your computer and once you open the APP it automatically finds all of your music, videos, photos on your computer and loads them to the APP. Once loaded to the APP select All to add them to the Walkman. Easy as pie. Music and videos sound wonderful. Also has an FM Radio included if you want to listen to a radio station.
