Another Fine Sony Product

by   johnr556 ,  Oct 19, 2008
Pros: Battery efficiency, tuner quality, size/weight, low price
Cons: Useless weather band, fiddly radio presets
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 ...

by   Bensisco ,  Apr 24, 2004
Pros: Small size, long battery life, lots of features.
Cons: Consolidated buttons/features.
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.

SONY Walkman WM-FX290 Works Well, Some Useless Features

by   octoberman ,  Apr 30, 2005
Pros: Pretty good design, nice style, main features work well
Cons: It has a bunch of useless features
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 like to ...

Good Player

by   gkain ,  Feb 8, 2005
Pros: nice size, good features and the battery lasts
Cons: not the same layout as the old Sony FX281
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 good ...

OK

by   ilader ,  May 8, 2006
Pros: best mechanical non-auto-reverse player
Cons: bad tape window, odd door opening, some periodic cellphone noise
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 better ...

Sony WM-FX290

by   ryancawdor ,  Jul 10, 2006
Pros: Not many to be found. The audio is good.
Cons: Two batteries are better than one as found here. Radio tuner is crap at best.
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 old ...

Bad Reception on this Walkman based on Local Reception

by   gccengineering ,  Oct 9, 2008
Pros: Has TV/FM/AM and weather reception. Good tape playback.
Cons: Overloaded FM reception and Poor AM reception. TV and Weather is ok.
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 ...
