  I bought the SONY Walkman (WM-F10) more than a year ago, when it was
  just introduced in the U.S. market. Till now it has not given me a
  single problem. It is the pocket size one  with cassette player and
  FM radio. In fact, it's sound quality is much better than most other
  walkmans I have encountered, its buttons don't stick and high
  volumes can make you deaf. BUT, it is expensive --- I think in most
  places it is approx. $100 BUT IT IS GOOD.
