Why settle for anything less than a Walkman? Slim and lightweight, the WM-FX290 is compact enough to fit in your shirt pocket, but that doesn't stop it from boasting a host of great features. One "AA" battery is enough to power it for up to 35 hours, and the tuner includes FM, AM, and weather bands. It has 40 station presets, and digital auto preset scanning. Includes Mega Bass(R) Sound System and a digital LCD Display. Plus, you get some great accessories, like MDR-023 stereo headphones and a carry case with belt clip. For mobile music on a more traditional slant, the Sony WM-FX290W offers more than you expect and lives up to the Walkman(R) brand of excellence. Battery Level Indicator on LCD provides visible indication of battery power Automatic Volume Limiter System (AVLS) automatically adjusts music passages that vary widely, for improved listener comfort and clear sound FM Local/Distant (DX) Switch provides optimal reception of both near and distant stations Digital LCD Screen indicates radio station frequency, preset status and cassette operation Carry Case with Belt Clip lets you conveniently wear your Walkman(R) unit while walking or during other activities

Summary: Purchasing it again
Comment: This is my 4th Sony. It is perfect for my uses---listening to tapes, radio both AM/FM. Two complaints: The mechanism doesn't warn far enough in advance when the battery is wearing out. Thus, it's a good idea to carry an extra battery---just in case. One other problem occurred with radio settings. One day, suddenly the prorgam I was listening to went off and the settings on the radio switched by themselves. It was impossible to reset both the AM/FM stations. I am not sure what caused this to happen---possibly an external interference. Having used the walkman many times in this same location there had never been a problem before. Oddly, several hours later and in another location, it was possible to reset the stations and use the radio! The tape worked throughout and wasn't affected bu the glitch. Problem, I had wanted to listen to a special program.

Summary: Sony Walkman
Comment: Being an avid listener of books on tape I was upset when
I could no longer find any local retailers selling the portable
cassette players I had been using. After a long search I decided on
this Sony Walkman. I was not disappointed. The Walkman has great sound
and also has a radio and weather radio which I never had on any of the
less expensive ones I used before. Overall, this is an exceptional value
for your money.

Summary: Fine cassette player for the price
Comment: Fine cassette player for simple use. no bells and whistles to this walkman, just a basic 80's type version. I recommend when not in use to take out the battery, to avoid draining the battery life.

Summary: Just what I needed!
Comment: I wanted this mainly for listening to book tapes and/or radio when I'm outside. The price was reasonable and it arrived in a timely manner. My only disappointment would be in the radio reception. But since I live in the country I wasn't expecting much.
The tape works great and I enjoy buying from Amazon.

Summary: Best cassette player around!
Comment: This is the second Sony Cassette player I've ordered. I love it. It only uses one AAA battery; and it has a long life. Also, the sound is great. I'm ordering this one as a backup.
