Sony WMFS595 Sports Walkman with LED Safety Flasher

• Water-resistant and rugged sports series design
• Feather-touch controls
• Digital synthesized AM/FM stereo tuner
• 20 station preset tuning (15 FM/5 AM)
• 1-finger control pad for volume/presets

The thumb-operated cassette transport and radio tuning joystick is great for runners. You can control all essential functions with just your thumb! The unit fits comfortably in your hand, and there is a music seek function that lets you skip ahead to the next song.

There is also a unique "beep" feedback that sounds in the headphones whenever you choose to play, stop, FF, REW, etc. This audible feedback is useful to confirm that you chose the correct function and that the player is doing what you asked it to.

One feature that could have been added is a stopwatch timer. Some of the other Sony models have this feature, but it seems to be absent on this model. The safety LED flashers are great for early-morning or late-night runners.
