Description

This walkman became famous through its monkey commercials. Known in the US and Canada as the WM-601.

Support for putting the gumstick battery into the mainframe, so it can play without the need for an extra battery box, and achieve the size of a tape cartridge. With a new deep bass DBB sound (dynamic, basic, and enhanced) and an amorphous head, the charging time is reduced to 1 hour.
