From the Manufacturer
Listen while you sweat! The tough WM-FS555J lets you hear your favorite tapes while you work out, and offers reception for AM, FM, TV and weather band signals. So, in addition to drift-free digital tuning for AM and FM stations, you get access to the audio broadcasts of TV channels 2 through 13, plus your local weather. With 40 station presets, it's simple to tune in to that weather forecast or favorite radio or TV show!

The 'FS555J's rugged S2 Sports styling incorporates water-resistant seals to help keep out dirt and moisture. The supplied hand strap/belt clip allows for easy portability while you work out. Plus, the cool headphones clip right onto your ears and won't slip off. And there's no headband, so your hair can do its own thing!

The efficient WM-FS555J uses advanced technology to get up to 32 hours of tape playback out of one "AA" battery — when it's time to pop in a new "AA," the clever battery level indicator on the LCD will tell you.

Amazon.com Product Description

CDs are wonderful, but most people still have boxes of cassettes full of great music, much of it not out--or not owned--on CD. Sony's WM-FS555J S2 Sports Walkman stereo cassette player lets you relive your cassette music when you're on the go. Its rugged, ergonomic S2 Sports design includes durability, controls placed for easy access, high style, and drift-free, digitally synthesized FM stereo--as well as wideband AM, TV (channels 2 to 13), and weather band (channels 1 to 7) reception.

An action grip with reflective cushion provides comfort and safety, while an included belt clip lets you wear the Walkman, freeing hands for other activities. The player's water-resistant seals help keep out water, moisture, and dirt, and a battery-level indicator on the unit's LCD lets you know when you're running low.

The player's automatic volume limiter system (AVLS) maintains an even volume level, guarding against unintended level increases and evening the output of musical passages that vary widely in level. Auto-reverse lets you enjoy uninterrupted listening to both sides of a cassette with no need to open the player and turn over the tape. A switch adjusts the sound to accommodate metal-oxide tapes, and Mega Bass produces deep, rich bass tones. Finally, an anti-rolling mechanism maintains stable tape speed to minimize music-distorting "wow and flutter" while the player is in motion.

For the radio, 40-station preset tuning offers one-button tuning to your choice of seven TV stations, four weather-band stations, 24 FM stations, and five AM stations. An FM local/distant (DX) switch improves reception of fuzzy stations. Supplied MDR-J10 headphones clip behind each ear so they won't mess up your hair. A single AA battery provides up to 32 hours (maximum) of continuous tape playback, or up to 50 hours of FM radio reception.

Great product from Sony!.......2005-01-15

Ah! This is a remarkeble piece of equipment. Very stylish if I do say so myself.

I am currently listening to one of Lord of the Rings tapes I have made, and it sounds beautiful. I am sure pre-recorded tapes will sound even better.

The radio works very well. Preset stations is easy to use and very convenient.

TV reception is alirght, though I will not be using it much, and Weather band sucks. Again, I will not be using it.

I recommend this item for its quality. Some people say the other models aren't as good as the older one's, this one is probably better than the others.

Great Walkman for Activities.......2003-07-28

I was very pleasantly surprised with the performance of this walkman for what I needed - something primarily for jogging and especially for those tread-mill kinda days. This being the first electronics I've bought basically sight-unseen, I am very pleased with what I got! I VERY VERY much like the earphones. They are the best at least as far as superior comfort goes! I wouldn't even think about them around my ears if a tape wasn't playing. They stay perfectly in place while jogging (extremely lightweight and minimal); do not at all create that pressure ache on my ears or head as other earphones have, it's not a Bose but the sound is just fine for my purposes. Overall construction is very durable and very easy to use, have yet to use it in the rain, but certainly would seem to be able to handle it. I'm glad I opted for the weather/tv/radio features. Has come in very handy. Reception has been clear. The sound stays true when using tapes (no 'wobblies' during jarring movements) which I wanted and got, the weight of the walkman is light enough.....the only and biggest drawback is the handstrap/belt clip. Hum...Really bad design and the only reason I give it 4 stars. The belt clip is attached to the handstrap which is a web strap (with a flat little pad attached for covering the knuckles after tightening the strap), that circles thru two built-in bar shaped end pieces on opposite ends of the back of the walkman - but not held secure. If you want to wear it on a belt....it slides and flops around. There is no stability as there would be if the clip could have been screwed directly to the walkman body. Seems that would have been a no-brainer, but someone in the design department obviously overlooked that one....maybe my hand just isn't big enough (glove size 7) but holding it with the handstrap is rather uncomfortable. My arms are small enough I use the handstrap on my upper arm and it works just fine. Looks alittle unruly, but functional and stays put. I also strap the walkman to the treadmill on weathered-out days, and that works quite fine too. So the strap has come in handy. All-in-all I'm really glad I got this walkman. The pluses do outweigh the minuses and this walkman will be put to alot of good use!
