Sony WM-FX195 Walkman AM / FM Stereo Cassette Player with Auto Shut-Off Review

I purchased this because it was a Sony thinking it would be able to take the beating I would give it trying to listen to tapes while weeding strawberries several hours a day. It worked fine the first month or so and then the sound began to distort like it wasn't getting enough power. Even with a change of batteries it did the same thing. It is comfortable to wear but the headset would slip a lot while I was bending over so had to wear a hat to hold it in place. I listen to books on tape so sound quality isn't a priority but being able to understand the words is! I'm now looking for a replacement which will meet my needs.

Product Description:
Sony's slim-design WM-FX195 stereo cassette player is portable enough--and, at under half a pound with batteries--light enough to go anywhere you do. In addition to playing tapes, the Walkman offers FM stereo and wideband AM radio reception. An anti-rolling mechanism maintains low wow and flutter by steadying the tape when you're running or walking, and an FM local/distant (DX) switch improves reception of fuzzy stations.
The player's automatic volume limiter system (AVLS) maintains an even volume level, guarding against unintended level increases and evening the output of musical passages that vary widely in level. A switch adjusts the sound to accommodate metal-oxide tapes, and Mega Bass produces deep, rich bass tones.
Automatic shut-off (in playback mode) extends battery life and helps prevent both mechanical and tape wear by turning off unit at the end of each tape side. Finally, an anti-rolling mechanism maintains stable tape speed to minimize music-distorting "wow and flutter" while the player is in motion.
Supplied MDR-026 over-ear headphones offer wide dynamic range and clear sound, and the unit also comes with a belt clip. Two AA batteries provide up to 25 hours of continuous tape playback (maximum, using Sony Alkaline batteries), or up to 55 hours of FM radio reception. And in case you don't keep count of the hours, a handy LED battery indicator warns you when it's time to switch.
