Summary: A PIECE OF JUNK - 4 Line Review
Review: * With only one battery, the unit is underpowered.
* Even with the volume up to the highest setting, it is hard to hear the radio. Cassettes konk out in mid-play.
* The case is a pain to open.
* I threw mine away in frustration.

Summary: Don't waste your time with this one...
Review: Don't purchase this product. It's a waste of money. I'm still using it, but I wish I had the extra cash to get a different walkman. The case is bulky and heavy. The radio and tv tuners often produce static. The cassette player plays poorly and often reverses direction in the middle of playing a cassette. Also, sometimes, it plays cassettes slowly and not up to normal speed. Overall, I am disappointed with the quality of this product for such a high price. SONY has made some really poor electronic products lately, and I have stopped purchasing any of their electronic products. They must be concentrating too much on the PLAYSTATION to drive their company sales.

Summary: sony is a ripoff!
Review: I had 2 of these, they never worked, even the first time I tried them. I have spent 1/2 hour on the phone with Sony to try to address this issue with no success. Sony had made a name for themselves with this product years ago...they are destroying their reputation now.

Review: I have had this product for 2 years and from the moment I put it on I was pleased. This is a quality product and I recommend as a walkman.

Summary: Not For Those Who Require High Fidelity Sound
Review: This Sony portable cassette tape player is well designed and ruggedly constructed. Unfortunately, its sound quality leaves a great deal to be desired. First of all, I was unhappy with the headphones which delivered a somewhat thin and 'tinny' reproduction of the music I sampled over the three weeks I tested this walkman (which I finally returned for credit). Also, at relatively low volumes I was surprised to encounter unacceptable levels of distortion during playback. I recently purchased a Sony Psych CD Walkman model D-EJ360 which, by comparison, is so far superior in its sound quality to the Sony WM-FS222 S2 Sports Cassette Walkman under review that it became literally impossible for me to listen to the tape player without feeling irritated and aggrieved (thus the necessity to return it!). Two other disappointing features of this S2 product bear mentioning. The included "belt clip" is NOT a rigid plastic fixture of the player case itself but rather an addition to the flexible strap used for holding the walkman by hand. It therefore does not provide a secure attachment for vigorous walking or running. And there is no auto-reverse functionality. Which seems a significant lack given the price of the item. Finally, having submitted a meticulously documented rebate claim for a Sony t-shirt upon receiving this walkman, I was notified that I was ineligible for my gift as I had failed to provide the requisite UPC code and sales receipt. A sad ending to a thoroughly frustrating experience with a company I have come to expect so much more from.

Summary: Your just paying for the name !!!!
Review: You would think that purchasing a SONY, that you would be getting a quality product, right? Well think again! Poor headphones, poor belt clip, hard to change the tape, NO auto reverse, battery life very short, poor sound quality! I found nothing about this Walkman worth praising. I would have rated it "0" stars if they had provided that option. Save your money and buy a different Brand.
