Listen to AM/FM Radio "And " Listen to TV

to use while walking. Although it's a bit big I can listen to am/fm radio or tv broadcasts which is why I bought it. They're hard to find. I especially like the TV features because they reduce the number of shows I have to record on the DVR and watch later. It's not that TV shows are so in-depth that you can understand them by listening to them, and then when you want to watch them, there's repetition.

Pros
  • Durable Test Results
Cons
  • You could choose a newer model

I received this Walkman a few days ago and have used it twice. It works really well and I use it to listen to old tapes while walking fast. I can use my iPod earbuds with them even though they came with headphones. I didn't want to go to the trouble and spend money converting those old cassettes, but I just wanted to listen to them on walks. I can rewind past songs I don't like or rewind to play the song a second time. I admit that I was shocked by the price and I'm still ashamed that I spentโ€ฆ

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black

Good player

I've had a couple of Sony FX 290s but I've dropped them all or they've fallen off the shelf in my garage and ruined the battery compartment and the fast forward button kept falling off after a few months. I still use cassette tapes to record my internet radio (low tech and high tech) and have hundreds of them, but at $90-$100 at Revain for a used set I've started looking elsewhere at Sony Walkmans and am onto this one device bumped. at a cheaper price of $20. I bought a $10 Coby device but youโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Outdated model
