Great looking but a bit disappointing model. No Amorphous (or HX) head, Dolby-C, very weak FMax output, no anti-rolling and without the remote a lot of functions can't be used. Still they are pretty cheap and generally easy enough to find if you want one.

My gold RQ-SX85 says its 100 hours playback.
