Review on Sony WM-FX290 Stereo Cassette Player: FM/AM/TV/Weather Tuning at its Best! by Darion Wooten

If you are looking for a portable stereo/cassette player, buy it! I love my. I look great, it's lightweight and only uses one AA battery (what a weight and cost reduction!). Don't let anyone fool you, a single battery packs tons of great features like Mega Bass and 40 presets (40 hours of battery life according to Sony in radio mode). It also creates a lot of volume and a great sound. A previous reviewer complained that a single AA battery didn't provide enough volume. As I understand it, nothing could be further from the truth. This baby has reserve volume! You will never be able to hear it in full force. My only (minor) complaint about this Walkman has to do with the position of the preset switch. It's recessed, thin, and sits below the LCD. This makes finding and working on a treadmill inconvenient, but nothing to worry about. The many advantages of this device easily outweigh this small disadvantage. As I said, I love my Sony WM-FX290 Walkman. I bought mine for the gym. I highly recommend it and wouldn't train without it. It comes with a nice carry case and headphones making it a great purchase. To attempt; I don't think you will be disappointed.
