Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The WM-FS497 Sports Walkman from Sony has a heavy-duty aluminum die-cast design to protect the Walkman from extreme conditions. It's water-resistant, and has a built-in clock/stopwatch so you can time yourself during sports activities.
The digital synthesized AM/FM stereo tuner allows up to 20 preset stations: 15 FM and 5 AM. It has a local/DX switch to either gather the strongest signals only, or bring in weaker signals more clearly.
The cassette player has auto reverse, auto shutoff, and an anti-roll mechanism to prevent shocks when you're moving. The mega bass has a "groove sound" position, for an even heavier sound. The Walkman is also metal tape compatible, and has an auto volume-limiting system to prevent hearing damage. The WM-FS497 Sports Walkman plays for up to 22 hours on one set of batteries on tape mode. This portable cassette player includes sports stereo headphones.

A real clunker,
By jnovak (Oakland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sony WMFS497 Sports Walkman (Electronics)
Don't be fooled by the word "Sports" in the name. This is an unwieldy item not suitable for use during running or walking. I was particularly disappointed because my last Sony Sports model was small, lightwieght, and survived my less than gentle handling for 5 years. Too bad they broke the mold.

Best walkman on earth,

This review is from: Sony WMFS497 Sports Walkman (Electronics)
If you are a jogger/runner, this is the walkman for you. After ruining several other "regular" walkmans, I broke down and bought the Sony sports walkman. It doesn't eat your cassette tapes, wear out the batteries too quickly, and allows for consistent tape play back while running. It is a little more money than other walkmans, but worth every penny. You will never need to buy another walkman to run with again.

I'm returning mine!,
By "evclark" (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sony WMFS497 Sports Walkman (Electronics)
This unit is awful. It is heavy and the aluminum piece flops out uncontrolably (it doesn't stay latched down). This is not like some of the models you may have seen in the stores. Do not waste your money on this walkman!
