I have been after this for 2 years. Few people know about them as this model was a JAPAN only release. Even the FM only goes up to 90 with no ability to adjust for US or Euro frequency. My favorite color in Walkman GREEN and this is such a cool shade of it and love the design. The metal lock bar is Heavy metal. Bought from original owner who bought this in Osaka Japan. It was released in 1997 I believe. Even greater the rarity it has the original EGGO MDR-D011 headphones. What a wild looking combo this makes on the belt and head ! They work excellent bit shy on highs and lows but amazing comfort and warm sounding. You can read more about the Eggo 6 models reviewed. EGGO HEADPHONES "Let Go My EGGO" I am actually impressed with the clarity of sound this machine produces. A surprise as my experience with sports walkmans generally they are fair to avg. performers. It works FLAWLESSLY !
