This belt lasted about 1,5 years of daily use before it developed cracks in the rubber, which I feel like it is a bit short, but as I didn’t even exist yet when the very last Sony Walkman cassette player was released, I don’t know how long these thin belts lasted back in the day. For this reason I didn’t include the lifespan aspect in my star rating, and I was very happy with the performance of this belt before it cracked.

I am very sorry, it could be a defective piece. The belts that we are selling now are from a different material. It should last about 20 years.
