So I was wondering if anyone knows which Walkmen have speakers built into them. The only ones I know are WM-3060 and the WM-F57, but I was wondering if there are any others.
AIWA HS-J11 and HS-J110. The right side speaker ( bottom one in this picture) is removable and as you see I placed the speaker on the the other one ( look at the silver trim vs white trim)
I've always thought that this kind of unit is the intersection point between a walkman and a boombox. Actually on the old site the topic was discussed under the "smallest boombox" heading. In fact, the AIWA HS-J11, the Sony WA-8000 MKII (and even the WA-77) look more like boomboxes than walkmans. Among those that can be considered walkmans proper (ie, those with the speaker on the front or on the back), I own a Larsen JC-529 (speaker on the back). I have seen other models from Larsen, and Panasonics were on display on olds2go (can't remember which, but I think James RC550 had some).
The best one in order to?? Speaker, radio.... ? I am interested if iT sounds solid? Or is the W8000 sounding better?
hello Helaba, it was just a personal opinion about these type of Walkmans. In my opinion this Walkman ( or a mini boombox as @samovar corrected me) looks very elegant and it is always a favorite model to me. I have 4 WA8000 and 3 WA-77 and by listening to them I can tell that WA8000 sounds better than WA-77
I absolutely love the WA-8000 MKII! the only (minor) problem with is that it is made of plastic instead of metal. What is your most favorite unit?
