Digital camera reviews of Sony WM-FX290 Stereo Cassette Player with FM/AM/TV/Weather Tuning
Digital camera Review: Good tuner and tape ....usual lack of volume.
Summary: 3 Stars
Very good reception for FM not bad for AM/MW.Decent tape deck without a lot of wow and flutter,allthough cue/review would have been nice.Not Cro2 compatable(no switch).It comes with a handy protective slip case.How can you get any volume out of one AA cell? You can't.Has the same pathetic lack of volume as most of the newer walkman types.Headphones that come with it are not the best...but when have you ever got a good set of 'phones with a walkman? Invest in some Koss Porta-pros.It's money well spent.
all in all it's a good little unit..but as usuall for todays gear,don't expect much volume.
Digital camera Review: Great Little Walkman!
Summary: 4 Stars
I love my Sony Walkman WM-FX290! So much so I have bought 3 of them so far for different purposes for myself. Work, home, play, working out, you name it. It is lighter than a previous version that was out and only uses one battery. I have an office job and do the type of work where a TV would be nice but sometimes all I have time enough to do is just listen instead of watch so this works out great. I love the features of having FM/AM and TV. The Weather Band I hardly ever use and usually I don't hear anything on it anyway. There are CD Walkman's I have seen that have AM/FM (a feature that was a long time coming) but no TV so this is a great unit for the money. How much do I love this little unit? One day I forgot to bring it to work. Did I go home during my lunchbreak to go get it? Yes, I did! Lol! I have gotten that used to it! Living and working in the Washington, D.C. area, a city that takes it Radio and TV news, entertainment and music seriously, this unit more than fits the bill. It keeps me feeling "in touch" all day with AM and FM talkshows, the noon newscasts, NPR stations, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Soul, Classical, Rock, Oldies and more. Whatever formats your city gets, this little unit seems to be able to pull it in with a generally great reception. Also with all the syndication changes and format changes that have been going on in radio in general, this unit keeps you up to date with what the latest changes are (good or bad) by having so many FM choices programable. If you like variety in your radio listening this unit is great with a total of 40 Presets AM/FM/TV/Weather combined. On the inside of the office, some stations just do not come in, but most of my favorites do. When you go out for lunch you will generally be able to pick them all up anyway on it. Overall, I think you will be happy with this Walkman. Kudos to Sony on an excellent job with this one! I traded up the earphones for a Phillips SBC HS500 so I could have the wrap around headphones option and it works great at work as well and also when you are wearing baseball caps. Hope this was helpful!Digital camera Review: Great Product

I purchased the cassette player to listen to audiobooks. I think it is a excellent product for the price. The sound quality is very good. The size is very convient for a shirt pocket so you can listen while walking and doing other things. The radio plays very well also. Very pleased with the product.Digital camera Review: Great Product!

This is a great radio manufactured in the communist country of China.
I love and only buy radios and cd players made in China because they are the best.
