Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony WMFX479 Walkman

Customer Review: A mixed bag, but worth the look
Summary: 3 Stars

I can't fathom sometimes what Sony is thinking. They made a great Walkman and then loaded it down with unnecessary stuff that makes you wonder. The electronic controls I can deal with, but the response time of those controls need help. If you are used to a manual type of Walkman where you can switch between REWIND and PLAY or FAST FORWARD and PLAY quickly, this is NOT for you (I'm one of those). The beeping that signifies your pressing a button is downright too loud and not needed. Also, the setting of menu items completely disrupts your listening since it interrupts the audio going into the headphones. NOT GOOD! C'mon SONY! When are you going to get back to basics and give us something that we can really enjoy without the booping and beeping? WE DON'T NEED IT!

Now, the good parts. The MegaBass does work, but a second, middle position would be helpful. The sound quality is up to their usual standards and the unit itself is quiet and doesn't eat batteries too fast. Radio sensitivity is decent and that says a great deal. Try walking through midtown Manhattan and listen to any FM or AM station without encountering any type of interference. CAN'T BE DONE!!! This unit is one of the better ones I've owned for sensitivity and interference rejection.

On sale, it's a good value. Beyond that, think long and hard about spending your hard earned dollars on this one. Sony makes lots of others that may be better suited for you.
