SONY HF-ES - 1988 - JP
It is said that the best Type 1, the "super ferrics" are among the best cassettes ever made, period.
They encompass the deep bass of a ferric, but with the high frequency response of a chrome, with the ability to take so much signal that NR isn't needed.
These Sony tapes are up there with the best.
A classic, well made, Sony shell with amazing tape inside. They don't get much better, but the price reflects this and their rarity. Some of these were made strictly for the Japanese market. Expect some minor wrapper rips and scuffing.
NOTE: Important! If you wish to buy these individually, I will break up these packs (as shown in the pictures) and you will get the cassettes without their wrapper. However, if you want them sealed just buy the full amount of cassettes per pack, and it will be sent to you sealed. No pictures available of these tapes out of their wrapper. The 46 Minutes are now separate (ask for pictures if wish).

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.
