WM-FX202
The WM-FX202 is a Walkman with a built-in radio. It features a bass boost function and uses AA batteries. It belongs to the early Walkman lineage that integrated radio functionality.
The WM-FX202 entered the lineup with a quiet experiment hidden in its shell. Sony built the casing from a starch-blend biodegradable plastic that looked nearly identical to its usual housings.
It was a simple, low-cost test bed for reducing petroleum-based plastics and never appeared in marketing, so most owners never knew it was there. The rest of the player followed Sony's familiar late cassette layout with softened edges, a basic AM/FM tuner, and a reliable transport suited to its tier.
