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.

Best walkman I have ever had.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Panasonic RQSW44VK Black AM/FM Personal Shockwave Cassette Player (Electronics)
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars
nice unit, headphones are lame,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Panasonic RQSW44VK Black AM/FM Personal Shockwave Cassette Player (Electronics)
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.

Panasonic shockwave walkman,
By A Customer
This review is from: Panasonic RQSW44VK Black AM/FM Personal Shockwave Cassette Player (Electronics)
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.
