I can ask more for mine because I have te matching headphones with original foams and a manual also!!    

Try!!

i bet it wont sell........... :-)

Seeing his feedback, doubt it he will even get the normal price, let alone what he asking for it. I can see that being listed for years to come, actually been up their for a couple years already.

This auction has been there for quite sometime, since Oct 2012 but I think he is hoping to catch a big fish one day.

The definition of wishful thinking

http://www.ebay.de/itm/ws/eBay...mp;item=350709176876

another price pushing text below that auction. "best walkman ever" .... "other DDs just cheapo tins... " etc ...

let`s see, how much he beats out...

Good luck to him / her

look @ the seller`s name ..

And the person who buys it will be called "fools.money" as in a fool and his money are soon parted.

what a turkey !  he needs stuffing  

that kind of selling old electronics make me thinking about selling "good tipps for collecting walkman, part I - the DD9" at the bay.... put everything into description text and "sell" it for 1 ct.... 1000 pieces available ... same duration as this auction -.- ...

/edit : http://www.tapeheads.net/showthread.php?t=11015 ... what they say : "Also, beware if you decide to get a Sony WM-DD9 (around 180Euro on ebay), they often have bad ICs and if the control servo is damaged, the player will be useless and very hard to fix. If you want something reliable - get a Sony DD series player. You can find someone to fix the gear and from then on it will be a ong road of enjoyment for you. They are completely mechanical, no IC controls and nothing within reason to break down. " ...

and thats my opinion, too ... less electronics, more mechanics means more durability through the coming decades ...

/edit II : 220 €, 8 days, 21 hrs. to go ...

I wonder...

If the walkman is brand new, but the headphones and box are not included, what happened to them?

WTF!!!!!!...  i know its the 1st Walkman but so much money, for a Walkman with very little features. i think i'll pass on that one. Bought an ipod Nano the other day for £27 2nd hand on ebay 8gb. i'm loving it, using it with a pair of Bose headphones. 

You want to compare a pooppod with a sony walkman??

this is also back again ...

Hahahahhahahhaha, sorry walkgirl in this case there is no comparison for sound quality and features and of course Mass/Space. The Nano wins hands down, The Sony Walkman is only good for nostalgia purposes.

there is no comparison cause u cant run a tape through a poopod

But it is a fanboy product!!

This is about WALKMANS with real TAPES and BIG batteries plus BIGGER

knobs for it to work, that is what we like here

No imitation ipoop products 

Nice one Nicolle, this could catch on...  

Fair dues walkgirl, each to their own. Don't take this the wrong way, theres an old saying  "one man's trash is another man's treasure" 

Back in the day i used to own many Sony walkman's had my 1st when i was around 16, still at school, then when the Digital era started to pick i went on to Mini disc, Sony again, (Had a few of those) so it's not like i don't know what these products don't sound like, its just that technology has moved on,

sound clarity and performance is paramount for me and thats why i use an ipod nano. Light, lots of Storage, versatile & cheaper to look after, and above all takes up less space in your pocket.

The only 80's product i would never give up, sell or talk bad about is my AIWA CS880 the Beast is staying with me for life, it'll be buried with me when i leave this world..lol

My 1st decent walkman, look at the external Batt pack, crazy huge..lol

My 1st Mini Disc player, CLASS!! cant beat Sony for Minidiscs

Another quality one i owned too.

This was definitely the most durable one i owned.

So you see, there u have it, been there, seen it, done it!!

Even the Sansa Fuze has better sound quality than a pooppod, and it plays flac.  My next portable will be a WM-DD9.

ladies and gentlemen i present the latest ipod !        

HahahahahahahahahahhahahahaDeliverance u kill me...

Hey Retro, youve just educated me, up to this day i never even heard of the Sansa Fuze before, thanks for the heads up. but if i was gonna go outside of an Apple iPod i'd definitely go for the Samsung Galaxy S player, it plays anything & does everything the iPod Nano & The Sansa Fuze put together.

If you get the Samsung Galaxy S3 it supports USB Audio and USB to go, allowing you to pipe the audio digitally to a headphone DAC/amp such as the iBasso D-Zero or even a Fiio E7, thereby allowing you to drive high impedance headphones without comprising the sound quality.

http://www.head-fi.org/t/63320...ational-us-or-note-2

It still is, but you did start to drift off about a Samsung Galaxy S phone , and previous to that... an ipooooood nano.

i think, there are comparable....

well ..ok .. these are my three devices i use atm :



1st. there is a phillips gogear ariaz 4GB with radio, flac, etc ...

2nd there is an poopod ...

the third one is a cassette player with radio ....

i use all of them, but i like the sound of cassette player most ... the gogear ariaz has a weak, thin sound, even when he plays flac ... i think, its the small and tiny parts they use nowadays to amplify music ... same to the ipod, which is from 2010 and plays only mp3 (dunno if i can upgrade it to "apple flac", but, hey ... apple flac ? lol ... no, thanks.. ) ... anyway, i didn`t buy it, i got it as free mobile phone contract geveaway..
i`ll never PAY for an apple xD ..

with my cassette player, i get the sound, which floats from CD/vinyl throught the hifi electronics from my marantz CD player/record player to the tape. no compression, no tiny amp electronic. the only price to pay is a little typically tape noise. but all in all, i think, the sound is more powerful, more agile ...

and that`s why a friend of mine was convinced to listen on tape, once she listened to "30 seconds to mars" on my WM-D6C... she`s 23 and has a tapedeck and walkman now.

no sir, tape might not be the "best" and clearest sound. but it feels more natural. i only use my poopod for showing self made video clips, and my gogear for "listening first" to an album, before i do a tape record ...

a mechanical rolex is a terrible device, it differs 1-5 s/d, but ppl. pay thousands of bucks for it .... a V8 car is nonsense nowadays.... but you can`t beat the sound...

listen to tape also means for me :

- slow down music consumption -  no track skipping, give the artist a chance to unfold his skills...

- durability : i got 2 collections of tapes, which survived their owners. they´re still good in sound and 10, 20, or 30 yrs. old ... i can`t count, how much mp3 i lost within the last 10 yrs ...

- safety : if i throw an mp3 player out of the window, a huge collection is crashed. i do the same with my cassette player : the player might be crashed, but the cassette not. and even if, its no problem to put the tape into a new shell ... digital "lost", means lost forever ... there is no "maybe", there is almost only "one" or "zero" ...

(shure, there is the possibility to make backups ... but how many ppl. do backups once a week or once a month ?.. i don`t know anyone.... most ppl. have their collection on an external cheapo 1-3 TB harddisk ... they don`t buy another one just for backup... )

once i listen to tape again, i discover music again in a better way like i did it in my teenager yrs. i don`t spend hundred of bucks for devices and medias, which don`t bring me a gain...

i`m not a digital hater. in another field, filming and photography, i really love the digital possibilities, not to be forced to use super 8 and classic photo films...

I am sorry, but should I need to apologise for not noticing the "private conversation" flag on this PUBLIC forum !?!

If you're lucky, you may get this lot for the same price

Btw The Samsung Galaxy S Player is not a phone its an MP3 player, i know it looks like one for people not in the know but i can assure u it is an MP3 player. also i only started speaking about it because retro said that the Sansa Fuze could play flac files compared to the iPod Nano. Anyway if u wanna talk about Cassette playing Walkmans be my guest don't let me stop u.

Interesting thoughts gearwheel, loved what u said about, i quote: (safety : if i throw an mp3 player out of the window, a huge collection is crashed. i do the same with my cassette player : the player might be crashed, but the cassette not. and even if, its no problem to put the tape into a new shell ... digital "lost", means lost forever ... there is no "maybe", there is almost only "one" or "zero"). Point taken mate, as i said to walkgirl earlier on "Another man's trash is another man's treasure" everybody has their own personal preference, i'm not knocking Analogue sound, it did play its part in the history of sound development but technology has changed things for the better, making sound products smaller lighter and more versatile and a lot less cumbersome too.

There'll always be people who prefer vinyl over cd or tape cassette players over MP3 players, all down to preference my friend.

hmmm ... let`s think about the "better" ... well, that`s what they sell to the customer. "for the better" means: companies make it better for themselves.

if i buy a modern music player, i get a device, which is not repairable, with built in batteries, which are not changeable. it sounds terrible light and thin. the music is not collectable and touchable like a cassette or vinyl album. i don`t know, if my data interface or file format is still serviced by the manufacturer or usable in 20 years.

ok, its smaller and keeps loads of music. but most ppl. collecting tons of mp3`s without ever listening to them .... we are human beings, which means : music takes time. to listen and understand a good album, you need at least 1 or two weeks. that means 30-50 albums a year. so, who really needs that thousands and tenthousand tracks in his/her pocket ? 30 yrs. before, pupils take a walkman into the schoolbus and listen to their fav band. nowadays they spend more time with browsing music, than with listening.

they`ve got small and sweet touch screens, looks nice... but is it really that good, having a device, which you have to pull out of the pocket (even in rain or snow), every time you want to play or skip a song ? i can handle my cassette player in a pocket on a bicycle without looking at it...

i cannot see a real gain. i only see a good marketing machine, which advertises products, that make us think, theyre better than before every day. the real aim is to sell more and more non-repairable devices (with built-in batteries, see that silly smartphoners, searching desperately a power jack in every airport ...) in shorter time. my 2009 ipod for example, isn`t able to use the newest software. so i have to buy a new one ... again ...

so, where`s the gain ?

10 years i did the same like everyone. newer, better, cooler, yeah ... but one day, i pulled a dusty cassette box out of the shelf and played it. that changed my mind.

yes, it`s right. one man`s trash... but aside personal favs, there are still facts...

Gearwheel my man u took the words straight outta my mouth, (if i buy a modern music player, i get a device, which is not repairable, with built in batteries, which are not changeable). 

Thats why i opted for a samsung device for that very reason of interchangeable battery and sd micro card for more storage. Dont get me wrong Tapes do serve a purpose for the Nostalgic buyer but practicality wise i think u got your facts a little twisted there my man.

U said earlier that (they`ve got small and sweet touch screens, looks nice... but is it really that good, having a device, which you have to pull out of the pocket (even in rain or snow), every time you want to play or skip a song )? Thats not true cause with the ipod u have remote earphones meaning u have fwd/rwd. ffwd/frwd & also a mic switch, so it is possible to use your ipod w/o looking directly at the screen.

Anyway majority of the people i know create playlists or have the mp3s on shuffle menu, which makes things more easy/and interesting too. U cant do that stuff on a walkman can u.......

So those are the plus things or benefits however u wanna call it. Ideal if your traveling by bike or a passenger in someones car or travelling on the train, plane or bus service. They also have Digital Radio u can listen to, majority of them have Live pause now, imagine u can pause your radio whilst talking to somebody & Rec too plus u can film and take dictation all on one little light device, thats what i call Excellent progress.

So thats why i prefer the Digital over Analogue when it comes to a personal stereo.

Also having the correct headphones helps tremendously too, i also use Bosè, expensive but they get the job done, enhances all the instruments that are recorded Digitally so u get pitch perfect sound.

Btw, i do have an iPod Nano too, but i only bought it cause it was going cheap

ok, i didn`t know about that remote earphones, my ipod came without and i hated it.

it`s cool, that you have interchangeable batteries, but the trend`s going the other way...

- i don`t know ppl. who spend time on playlists ... drag n drop album folder, push play, thats it...

- shuffling tracks doesn`t make sense (for me). i can make a playlist or mixtape, or follow the reasons, why a band put its tracks into specific order on an album. but shuffling is like listening to radio ... listen to pink floyd`s "dark side of the moon" in shuffle mode... +argh+ ...

- normal radio is ok, i dont need digital radio. due to the news cycle, which is repeated every hour or something, why should i pause or record ? i can download the most of radio broadcasts with my online recorder, even program it to record. its a free tool from the broadcaster, it also puts mp3tags and picture on it ... so i don`t need it in a portable ..

- photographing and filming with a smartphone is rubbish ... believe me.. i use canon 600D DSLR with interchangeable lenses, a canon pocket camera for macro, a sony NEX5N, even with interchangeable lenses, and a canon HFG10 for video, which is an excellent camcorder. filming and taking photos with smartphone is a joke, when you are using real equipment for that. but they`re getting better, i know. nokia lumia, for example is a nice video phone ....

this is just another sickness, that ppl. think, its great to have one device for everything ... i prefer a specialized device for every field. try to make low light photos without flashlight, with nice bokeh like i did here... you`ll get noisy, craptacular pictures ... it also means more safety, not to put everyting into one device ... if my camera crashes, i can phone anyway, or still listen to my music via cassette player ... if i only have one device, my camera, phone, music collection, etc. is crashed at once... is that really cool ? think its better not to put every risk on one card...

I used to take ages making mix-tapes & then graduated to CD-Rs.

Now an iPod playlist takes much less time with the same result: a customised set of songs to listen to. 

I find this especially useful when I'm going to a gig. On to setlist.fm to get the songs they're going to play. Make an iPod playlist for some song 'revision' in the car before the gig. Technology working for me there  

Also, when I'm at work, I have often thought of an album I want to listen to (earlier this week, it was Computerworld by Kraftwerk).

Before, I had to go home, find the CD & remember to put it in the car. By then the moment may have passed & I no longer want to listen to it.

Now, with my entire music collection on my iPod, it is the work of a moment to cue it up when I get it the car... happy days.

Hell, it even sounds good when playing high bitrate mp3s & using the dock connector.

That said, the CD in my car system does sound significantly better.  

well, it seems, that you try to save time. thats ok.

i can only speak for myself. with my first re-using of casssette, i notized  - with mp3, i lost appreciation for music. analog music consumption forces me to take the time for listening, recording and enjoying music.

and there`s another advantage for the musicians..

it`s interesting, how they are successful against music pirating ....

There u said it Gear...

i love the analoge sound Very much, it alway's stayed with me during the years.

it is about 10 years ago since i bought my first reel-to-reel deck and loved the sounds of those.

now i have worked my way up to the deck i "reely" wanted, the Technics RS-1506.

After i had that one, i wanted to own one of the smallest tape-device, and here i am...

Next to that i'm also playing records as well.

I also own a Ipad and Iphone wich i use for total different reasons for music: with Shazam for quick finding a number, and a download program to download it, and listen right away to it in my car.

i also have a docking-station fron Onkyo for both wich sounds amazing.

reel to reel *.* .... well, maybe i can get a revox a77 (?) for free ...

Save time? I wish!

I spend 2½-3 hours every working day driving & so have plenty of 'listening time'. For this reason I have a decent system in my car.

I find the ability to listen immediately to something I own very useful. However, I still like the fact that there's a 'proper' copy of it at home  

Much the same way as I'll spend ages getting the tape deck to work on a boomer, knowing that I'm unlikely to listen to many cassettes on it.

you tell em nicolle....the poop_pod haha

Gearwheel i agree with u about the Camera features in phones right now compared to proper cameras, theres no comparison but i'd say in future years to come a phone would be on par with the latest digital cameras,

Another reason to also own an MP3 player over an Analogue Walkman is Podcasts, as u might know you can download your favourite radio show and listen to it on your MP3 player on the go.

Btw people prefer more than one feature (Radio,Camera,Camcorder,Dictaphone)etc on one device, its a luxury people expect and take for granted now. People are just so spoilt for choice.

Thats the world we're living in now i guess.

i doubt that smartphones will be the same as DSLR ... companies aren`t interested in give away pro features in budget thingies like smartphones. that`s why they build same devices, but with different prices and features. in the past, they tried to build the difference with mechanical features, today, there`s often only a different software ...

i know podcasts, ofcourse. i download them. and if they are important enougt for me, i save them for the coming decades to tape. i also listen to them on mp3 stick, because an audio documentary doesn`t need the tape sound i love.

and the world we are living in... well ... i know, that we are on the best way to idiocracy, but that doesn`t mean, i have to follow ^_^ ...

back to the "omg" ...:  the DD9 is at 220 € and still counting ....

330€ .. o.O ...

This is better.
