Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Panasonic's Shockwave series models are designed to deliver outstanding audio entertainment in the toughest outdoor conditions. The RQ-SW44V black AM/FM personal Shockwave cassette player is no exception. Rugged enough to withstand shock and vibration, the RQ-SW44V incorporates a water-resistant design with a rubber-cushioned body, dual hinges, an antirolling mechanism, and a twist lock that keeps the lid in place.

The AM/FM digital tuner has a 20-station memory (10 AM and 10 FM) and provides clear reception in city or rural surroundings. Auto-reverse playback is a great touch for those who may be too busy working out to bother with buttons. XBS (extra bass system) is available as well.

A single AA battery will power the RQSW44V for up to 25 hours, and this model comes with four batteries included. Added attractions are the large LCD display and a lap function that beeps at regular intervals when the tape or radio is playing. Shockwave lightweight headphones and a detachable belt clip are included.

Product Description:
Panasonic brings ShockWave ruggedness and Power Last battery efficiency to the RQ-SW44VK personal cassette player with AM/FM tuner. The RQ-SW44VK delivers high-quality audio reliably and under tough conditions. As a member of the ShockWave line of personal audio products, this unit features a tough rubber cushioned body that resists routine bumping and is water resistant. A Twist Lock mechanism and dual hinges ensure tapes will stay in place even if dropped. The entire tape mechanism actually floats on rubber bushings, which offer added protection to the delicate inner workings. The Power Last power system combines a highly efficient motor with low-load circuitry for drastically improved playback time. The RQ-SW44VK delivers up to 25 hours of music - on just one "AA" alkaline battery. The RQ-SW44VK is equipped with a Digital Synthesizer tuner with 20 station presets, enabling the user to store 5 AM and 5 FM in each of two modes. This makes this model perfect for frequent travelers, since one group can be reserved for out-of-town stations. A selectable AM frequency step (9kHz/10kHz) allows users to tune into their favorite stations while in any country. For extra clear reception, a Normal/City FM reception selector is included. And, Panasonic's XBS Extra Bass System lets users enjoy rich, robust sound particularly in the low frequencies. For easy operation a large animation display, five preset keys, a battery checker and a lap function (similar to a stopwatch) with five timer settings are provided. Complementing the digital tuner is an auto reverse cassette deck. The RQ-SW44VK comes with a ShockWave handgrip and lightweight headphones and a protective detachable belt clip. In addition, four batteries are included in the package.

4 out of 5 stars Panasonic shockwave walkman.......2000-11-19

I find the sound great. The headphones hurt my ears and are uncomfortable. The AM does not pick up in the gym but FM is fine. AM picks up fine outdoors and in the house. It works great with the hand held device which I prefer with running. No jarring and I love the antiroll feature. And one battery! I also like that it is not heavy. I find it slighly smaller than the Sony and easier for my smaller hands. It is light weight. I enjoy it as my first digital.

5 out of 5 stars Best walkman I have ever had........2000-10-19

I love this Panasonic Shockwave. I have gone trhough several walkmen (or walkmans) in the last few months. Each has had its irritating problems (too easy to bump the volume or some other setting, bad reception or volume control, battery hog, battery and tape falls out when dropped, etc.) and each has broken beyond repair after being dropped accidentally.

My new Shockwave has survived several bumps and crashes with no ill effects. It has digital tuning with prerecorded stations (what a bonus, definite time and emotional energy savings here.) The volume dial is not easuly bumped and the belt clip is easily removable.

The only annoyance is that when you turn the radio on it tunes into AM first (you have to press the button a second tiem to go to FM) and I never listen to AM. This is not a big problem.

The shockwave is a rugged piece of equipment with some great bonus features. I recommend it highly.

4 out of 5 stars nice unit, headphones are lame.......2000-10-04

I just received my player today. Overall, the quality looks pretty nice. I did notice that if you moderatly shake the unit you will get some wow/flutter when listening to tapes. I don't think running with it will cause any problems though. It looks reasonably well sealed. The only rub on this product is that the earbud-sized headphones sound pretty bad. I hooked up an old pair of Sony headphones (typical 'on the ear' as opposed to 'enclosing the ear' size) which improved the sound quality dramatically (roughly 50%). I've listened to 2 different ear-bud sized headphones, and they both sound pretty bad compared to the bigger sizes.

4 out of 5 stars A Piece Of Work.......2000-06-10

This a great walkman for the dollar and over all the performance and handling was great I love this walk man

4 out of 5 stars Shockwave Player Plus.......2000-06-09

Look at it- You could smash an mp3 player to bits with this thing, while playing a tape. I defy you to find another walkman that is red and black, and as bad-a^^ as this one. Also, Shockwave is a technology owned and pioneered by Macromedia, and allows for interactive, vector based streaming entertainment. This walkman is Macromedia's flagship Shockwave player, and doesn't require any plug-ins.
