Best Sony Walkman I've OwnedJanuary 21, 2010 Joanne Moody(HOUSTON, TX, US) This is the third Sony Walkman I've owned over the last 24 years, for an average lifespan of 8 years for each. Two were Sports models that were bulky and heavy. This one is lighter and has a much better bass. I use it only when I am walking on the treadmill, but it gets a lot of use and it is holding up very well. Very glad I found this as I have a lot of cassettes that I don't want to give up. I purchased this new on Amazon. It arrived very quickly and was in the original packaging. I highly recommend this model Walkman.
Great audio cassette playerFebruary 25, 2009 John Satterfield(Reno, NV USA) I use this cassette player to listen to audio books. Although expensive, it is sturdy, has good sound quality, a useable belt clip, and both fsst reverse and fast forward controls. In short, it is exactly what I wanted, having tried less expensive players. The FM radio reception is good too.
Sony WalkmanNovember 16, 2008 solarisnova(WA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
After reading the reviews at Amazon for other less expensive portable cassette players, I decided to purchase the Sony WM-FX197 AM/FM Cassette Walkman. I'm glad I bought this more expensive model. It's sturdy and plays tapes great. I've even dropped it once and no problems. The best feature is that it takes two AA batteries which means it has more power and the sound/audio is strong. It's definitely worth the money.
Fine Product, But...January 9, 2008 Peter Dale Cohen(New York, New York USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a fine, sturdy, simple AM-FM cassette player, easy for my 89 year old blind father to operate, but this price is incredible. It was less than $20 when I last bought it from Amazon a year or so ago. Now, it's not from but 'through' Amazon, and the price has quintupled. Too much for me, especially since it's still available for under $20 from other sources. Not like Amazon to let this happen.
good if you still even use a walkmanJanuary 6, 2008 Susan Colig(San Antonio, TX) great if you still even have cassettes
