Sony Walkman WM-FX495 Personal Cassette Player

Pros: *The unit does play tapes well.
Cons: See above

This item does NOT INCLUDE the following items/features:
*TV stations and weather channels
*Dynamic, over-ear headphones
*Carrying case

It came in a very small box without a small hand strap and a flimsy pair of in-ear headphones. No TV/Weather feature. I'm VERY DISAPPOINTED.
And yes, the model number is the same: WM-FX495.

The interface: I can see they were trying to get the big buttons off the side and onto a little configuration on the front. The only problem is hitting tiny buttons is not user friendly. The menu isn't laid out well and it's very easy to hit the buttons when you move around.

Cons: *Missing features that are promised (Weather/TV, case, over-ear headphones, belt clip)
*The radio reception is not that great.
*It has that silver paint that tends to rub on on Sony products.
*The interface is really awkward.

Summary: If you want a nice tape player with auto reverse (no Dolby!) this is a good unit for you. Don't expect anything else.
