| I am so glad I bought this! I was looking for something for my Sony Walkman. I was so happy to find this speaker dock. I use it all the time in my kitchen. I can't say enough how much I like this. Great sound, small size, plays and charges my Walkman. I will definitely recommend this product to everyone with a Sony Walkman. |
Best Purchase for a Sony Walkman

| I've waited a long time for a decent dock for my walkman that is not tied to the ipod (in any of it's incarnations) -- and this is worth the wait. No, it won't sound like a shelf stereo system, but it does have a deep, rich sound -- impressive for it's size. The sound is full-bodied and the bass boost gives the extra depth so needed in mp3 player external speakers. I am extremely satisfied with this purchase. If you own a walkman and want beautiful room-filling sound, this is it. I'm using it in my home office, and it surrounds me in sound. Love it. It does have two different adaptors for different series Walkmans. Mind is an s-series, and it works great. The remote is a nice touch. YOU WILL NOT REGRET THIS PURCHASE! |
Individual buyer for self.

| The speakers have a very good sound and is easy to use. The sound from the speaker fills the room with the kind of music we like to listen to. We are very happy with walkman dock station speakers. |
You cannot beat this for the sake of VALUE.

Unlike one angry reviewer, I already knew this unit would work with certain Walkman before I bought it. Nevertheless, I agree with that person that it is not made obvious that there are exclusions.
Now, the unit: I had bought my parents (late 70's) a Walkman last year, and they bought the first unit (SRSNWGM30) and were pretty happy with it. I had honestly tried to convince them to buy a Bose because of the superior sound and power output, but they went with the Sony anyway, until they ended up getting a BOSE just a few months later lol. Why am I telling you this? Because if I had just noticed the launch of this newer Sony sooner I would have told them to buy the Sony instead of the Bose! This Sony is 10x the power output (which equals approx twice the volume) of their M30. This makes a huge difference. To pour more salt in their wounds, this newer unit is already priced $20+ less than their previous inferior model.
Bottom line: This unit is well made, sounds great and is exactly what I'd hoped for. You have to have realistic expectations though. I own some fairly high line audio equipment and only wanted this for my workout room for some background sound. Well, this unit exceeded my expectations for richness of sound in a 12x26 room. Trying to impart audio related nuances to the masses via a medium like this review is difficult at best. I will still tell you that I believe the Bose units ($260-$400)give better performance. But for around a $100 difference, the performance level disappears for ME. Though somewhat snobbish about sound quality, I'm also realistic in expectations and cost benefit. To be able to get this Sony for only $100 as compared to Bose....the Sony is a no-brainer winner for me. |
Great quality speakers

I waited too long to purchase this item. I have always been a fan of Sony anyway. I have a sony mp3 player and didn't want to spend the money to buy this speaker system. I enjoy listening to music on my computer, but wanted to set it up in the living room. I bought another speaker set on sale for only $20 less than this one. The sound was tinny and sounded like an old time radio. I finally decided to break down and go to Sony for the speakers to get the quality. Luckily I checked with Amazon to see if they had it for less (I always check Amazon after investigating what I want). Amazon had this exact one that I wanted and it turned out to be the best choice.
The quality and clarity on the sound is awesome. It also charges my mp3 player which is a plus.
Thanks Amazon and Sony! |
Glad I got this!

In a market full of I-Pod offerings, I'm glad to see that Sony finally made a quality speaker dock for the Walkman series MP3 players. The unit really does fill an entire room with clear, well-balanced sound. I placed the speaker in my kitchen, which shares a common layout with the dining area and a front room (add a 13'ceiling too). No matter what type of music I play, the sound is carries beautifully throughout the entire space. True, this isn't built to shake the windows, but there's plenty of volume and bass to go around even without the bass boost feature. I also like the fact that the dock charges my X series Walkman while I listen.
In short, this speaker dock is a bargain at the current price, and the sound quality is tremendous for a unit this size. As previous reviewers have noted, it is advisable to check compatibility on the Sony website before you buy. That caveat aside, this is a must have for any Walkman owner. |

| Bought this for the wife with relatively low expectations. This thing actually puts out awesome sound and more bass than I could have imagined. Nothing booming like a sub but very impressive quality overall from this guy. Wood box and easy and responsive controls with a remote. Definitely recommend. |
