Sony UX-S - 1990 - EU
Just a cassette that oozes class. From the smoked case, to the smoked clear window, the light grey shell with it's green elements. This is from Sony at it's best and cassettes being in their peak of quality and design.
We've found these don't really need any bias tweaks so should work well in all decks, but their rarity means they're not priced for general use.
Awesome!
PLEASE NOTE - Although new and sealed, expect some minor imperfections to the outer wrapper. These were made stricktly for the European market (Made in France). This one in particular was distributed in Germany. It has a sticker that reads "Test Sieger in der Chromeklasse" It has two very small rips, gently repaired. Looks good just the same. Only one available.

Sony produced the world's first portable music player, the Walkman in 1979. This line fostered a fundamental change in music listening habits by allowing people to carry music with them and listen to music through lightweight headphones. Walkman originally referred to portable audio cassette players. The company now uses the Walkman brand to market its portable audio and video players as well as a line of former Sony Ericsson mobile phones.
