5.0 out of 5 stars Don't believe the bad this is one AWESOME portable for $20, November 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Aiwa HSTX 486 AM/FM Stereo Radio Cassette Player (Electronics)

I ordered my 486 and then saw that bad review and was sweating it...but boy were they wrong, this little go getter rocks. First off is the design. Its suberb, I've never had a portable so small, its barely bigger then a cassette.

The sound is crisp, clear, and robust. Of course your not going to have awesome bass, dah, its a freaking small headphone speaker. But this unit can compeate stright up with units costing 2 or 3 or 4 times as much. Yeah I thought, 20 bucks its going to be so so, I was wrong.

I don't have any ideal why its only 20 dollars but unlike others I dont look a gift horse in the mouth, I ride it baby, And boy am I glad I did.

It's everything a portable walkman should be, the problem with the other review was he was knocking it for not deliviring something its not suppose to anyway. It be like me buying a great surf board and giving it 2 stars cause its a crappy sewing machine.

Don't buy this and your missing out on one sweet deal. Its a great walkman that happens to be 20 dollars not a 20 dollar walkman that happens to be okay....

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, January 25, 2000

I bought it before Christmas, and I am very pleased with its quality. Do not listen to that guy who complained this one wasted him a lot of battery because of the easy turning on power button. In fact, there is a lock button, once you use it, all the other buttons will be disabled.

2.0 out of 5 stars Its not that great., November 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Aiwa HSTX 486 AM/FM Stereo Radio Cassette Player (Electronics)

I have owned this cassette player for 3 months now. For the price , it is decent if you also believe the short durability of all cassette players. MY rants: 1. Biggest complaint is that mega bass is more like puny bass. Liked my old Panasonic better. 2. The power button on the front easily turns on by accidental contact. Unless you pull out the batteries after every use, expect to waste alot of $ on batteries. 3. Although it hasn't broken for me YET, the battery door is cheap and looks very breakable; esp in light of pulling out batteries when not in use. 4. For some reason, my cassette player keeps shuttling forward to reverse playback when it is cold. When it warms up, it resumes its normal function. Must be averse to cold.

Rave: 1.Price. Besides I had to use my Xmas certificate from last year before it expired.
