The Sony WM-FX290- Good Things Still Come in Small Packages.

Date of Review:  Apr 24, 2004
The Bottom Line: I definitely recommend the WM-FX290. It?s lightweight, reasonably priced, and affordable to operate. I slip mine into my jacket pocket each morning and enjoy it on my daily walk.
Review: I recently purchased the Sony WM-FX290 AM/FM Stereo Cassette Player to listen to while on morning walks. If you're considering this unit, you will hopefully find this review very useful.

First the overview: The Sony WM-FX290 is a slim and...

Another Fine Sony Product

Date of Review:  Oct 19, 2008
The Bottom Line: For this middle-aged listener this has been an excellent purchase with great sound quality to boot, and very battery-efficient
Review: I bought my first precorded cassette in 1973--ELO's first album. That's how long I've listened on cassette! We all know cassette technology is dead, and CD's appear to be on the way out in this day of MP3's. However, there are millions, maybe...

OK

Date of Review:  May 8, 2006
Review: 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...

SONY Walkman WM-FX290 Works Well, Some Useless Features

Date of Review:  Apr 30, 2005
The Bottom Line: Nice simple product for Walkman fans at a reasonable price.
Review: 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...

Bad Reception on this Walkman based on Local Reception

Date of Review:  Oct 9, 2008
Review: This walkman was bought for $40 and the reception on this walkman in the Norfolk and Virginia Beach area is terrible. Most of the local radio
stations overload on this tuner. When you want to tune in to a station in NC on 96.7 you get...

Sony WM-FX290

Date of Review:  Jul 10, 2006
Review: 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...

Good Player

Date of Review:  Feb 8, 2005
Review: 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...
