What customers say
The Sony Walkman WM-EX170 strongly appeals to nostalgia, driven by its iconic branding and compact design for enjoying analog audio. When operational, users praise the classic aesthetic and decent sound quality. However, reliability is a major concern for modern buyers. Due to age, many units require immediate maintenance like belt replacement, causing frustration and unexpected expense. Build quality, often plastic in this later model, is sometimes viewed as inferior to premium versions. Value is conditional: a working unit feels like a worthwhile investment in audio history, but nonfunctional purchases lead to disappointment. Customers appreciate the concept but must accept the inherent maintenance required for this classic device.
