I purchased this Player for my wife who likes to listen to her music in bed. Comments:
1 The Display is very small and is on the side of the Player which makes it very difficult to read;
2 Similarly, the control buttons are on the side with very small embossed lettering which is also difficult to read;
3 As a consequence of 2, it is very easy to leave it switched on, running the batteries down in a very short time.
4 The included earphones are not satisfactory, and other headphones are much better;
5 There is a socket for a 4.5v mains adapter but this was not included. This would be better than batteries for our purpose.
6 It is labelled "G-protection". A precise definition of the shocks which it wold stand up to without damage wold be helpful.
7 For ease of use it is not as good as our older Sony Diskman, which unfortunately has ceased to work (that model did not have a radio of course).
Overall, not recommended.
