Sony WM-FS221 Sports Walkman Cassette Player Review

Learn from my mistakes. Don't buy this product!The name "sports" walkman is tantamount to false advertising for this unit. Each one of these lasts appoximately 2 months . . . if you drop it even once from belt-high -- and it is likely that you will, because the belt clip breaks very easily -- it is finished. The plastic shell does not protect the mechanism from impact any more than the shell of a [less expensive] model. I've now bought three of these for use while lifting weights at the gym. Because they break so quickly, I've returned all three under warranty, and never heard ANYTHING from SONY. That's three walkmans, within the past year. Three strikes, and it is out.The design of the product is also poor: the headphone outlet is positioned such that the wire plugs into the bottom of the unit. That means that you lose about 4 inches from an already short headphone cord. Any kind of stretching (such as when doing pull-ups), and the headphones either unplug, or pull the unit off your belt. And when it hits the ground . . . it's finished. Here's another example of a design snafu: the nylon wrist strap is positioned in such a way that it interferes with your use of the belt clip. This configuration means that you must make a choice as soon as you buy the unit: either commit to strapping the device to your arm or wrist with the belt-clip bulge on your skin, or cut the nylon strap off and wear it on your belt. Yet another example of poor layout: the battery door opens counter-intuitively: unlike other walkman-like devices I've used, you must push the clip toward the direction of the door hinge. This wouldn't be a problem, except that Sony chose to also put the battery compartment inside the cassette player itself. Accordingly, removing the cassette often results in opening the battery compartment (and dropping the batteries). The bottom line is this: if you buy this product expecting "sport" to equate to "durable" (as I did), you are kidding yourself. If you buy it for listening to music while safely cradled in a nest of pillows, you're wasting your money: units half the price that do not hold themselves out to be "sports" anything will deliver the same sound quality.
