One Bad Choice For A Sony Cassette Walkman (WM-FS421).

Thu, 28 Sep 2006 19:44:40 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author _dispatch - The most important thing to remember is if you are seriously considering "this" Sony cassette Walkman for purchase, "Do Not Buy It"! No matter how cheap a price you may find it for. It's features and functions are so out dated it's atrocious! One of the...

Sony WM-FX290

Mon, 10 Jul 2006 19:06:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ryancawdor - This radio has no where near the tuner found in the old FX281. I own both and only use this for tapes. Also I liked the controls on the old model better. Might have been more buttons but it was a better design. Sony made a cheaper model at the same old...

OK

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ilader - This is a decent cassette player in a field of crappy cassette players. The really good ones cost much more. This is probably the best cassette player that still has mechanical buttons and mechanism, which means it is much more reliable than the better...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author paperchaser328 - I have owned this Walkman for many years (over 3) and it hasn't failed me yet. I still have cassette tapes that I like to listen to when traveling. I purchased the item because I wanted a television band, and this has it all (AM/FM/TV/WB+Cassette).I give...

Low Price, Clear Sound

Sat, 11 Mar 2006 15:53:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pvreditor - MP3 players can't do everything. They are terrific for music but my experience is that MP3 players don't work well with recorded books -- at least the way recorded books are now formatted for MP3 playback. As far as recorded books are concerned, the best...

Great little player

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rpmtuner45 - I bought this in 2000 while looking for a nice cheap tape player. I found this and bought it for $20. It is still going strong, and has only damaged one of my tapes. Although Sony no longer sells this (the closest thing to it is the new WM-FX197)...

Maybe the last good cassette walkman.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author petermuir - I use a cassette walkman a lot, for books on tape. My needs are pretty basic – play cassettes, FM radio, reversible, a belt clip. I don’t care about TV and weather bands, bass-boosting. It should be easy to manage by feel, and the volume knob should be...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author octoberman - Sony Walkman WM-FX290 This walkman has FM/AM radio, reception of some TV stations, a weather band, and a tape player. I know that most people these days prefer to wear iPods or at least portable CD players, or other digital machines, but I like to...

A Piece of Junk, but relatively inexpensive

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author avwebradio - I bought this unit for $25 at Walmart in 2004. The cassette player is pretty good, but in my opinion the tuner is not well designed. (which, over the last 10 years has unfortunately become the trend in personal hand-held units similar to this one)...

Good Player

Tue, 8 Feb 2005 12:47:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gkain - The player is the upgrade to the FX281. I liked the 281 better because it had 4 buttons on the front to seperate the different bands - I liked that more - but of course Sony thinks consolidation is key - that is their choice. Overall it is a good...

Good product with some flaws

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author octoberman - I've been using this Walkman for about 4 months now. As you can see from the image, the electronic buttons operating the radio are on the front while the tape buttons are on the side. You have to be careful with the front electronic buttons...

I will never buy a Memorex again! The sound was horrible!

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author thor324 - I purchased this CD player for my young son's room. The only good thing I can say about this player is that it does play music, although the sound quality is less than desirable. I had purchased the first one 6/03 and within the 90 day warranty...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author blswartwood - I bought this machine on New Year's eve- and only bought this one because it was the only one available at the spur of the moment.

Good value for money if you're into tapes.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author star_flower - The Aiwa AM/FM cassette player is a good choice if you're looking for a player that is not mind-bogglingly expensive, yet provides you with good quality sound, and possibly just plain looks good on you. The sound quality is high, and there are two...
