Review: very good for doing chores - I previously had a Meb Keflezigi edition I purchased at wal mart. that one was different but had features that I wish they had kept. upon buying this one I was hoping it had better ear grip than the previous version. to my delight it has a better head secure with a rubber band grip that is on the rear not shown in the pictures. the rubber ear buds are thinner and stick in your ear better. as for the build quality it is excellent and it is really sturdy especially the buttons. the buttons are a lot harder to push in and will require to be broken in. one useless feature is the hold switch. the buttons are really hard to push in so it isn't really needed unless u put it in a bag and really lean on it hard or something. I dropped it one day and the hold switch broke and became loose. now it just slides back and forth just being useless. this one requires an on and off switch which is ok in my opinion. unlike the previous model this one has a proprietary charger. this is a change I don't like. the previous had a simple usb cable that really easy to use. its just to cumbersome and bulky. as for exercising I always use for jogging, work, and house hold chores. it is really convenient with no wires and scrolling through a touch screen. the battery life is good and as a plus it will recharge on its own I believe for several minutes for an extra 90 minutes of playback. while jogging it will stay very secure due to the different rubber earbuds and the rubber strapi have showered with this thing but not swim so it is definitely water proof. I highly recommend this over the previous Meb Keflezigi edition which I still see on store shelves.
Review: Great Deal. Quality product! - These work very well. Nice to have for workouts. I haven't used them for swimming, so I can't attest to the waterproofing, but it's great to workout and not have a cord. Plus they were about 30 dollars cheaper than best buy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ very good for doing chores

### ⭐ My 2nd Unit, Hopefully this one won't break
*by P***F on June 11, 2016*

This is the second one I purchased. A year ago I bought an NWZW273S, and the volume broke after a couple of weeks--I suspect water got into the unit. This "older" version (non-S) seems exactly the same, but it lacks the extra set of replaceable earbuds with the "cover" over the hole. I just swam for an hour and dived 5 feet and this current model is working just fine. I will update this review in a couple of weeks after I've swam with it more. Sound is great, not muffled as I remembered with the "S" series. Update: 8/27/2016— This unit lasted all summer, then broke mysteriously. Volume wouldn't work. Wouldn't charge. Sheesh Sony.I am changing my review from 3 to 1 star.
