 Great little radio October 31, 2005

This is a very good radio and better than my old Radio Shack brand that finally gave out.My old one mind you could only pick up a few stations clearly.Now with this new one I'm getting over 15 FM stations clearly some in Philly and some in New Jersey.I assume since I'm only 35 miles from Philly that would explain why I'm getting the outstanding reception.The AM is great as well as it comes in very clear.There are also a few features that come in handy.One is that you can set the radio to turn off automatically after a set time.Also has bass boost and a digital clock.I leave it on the DX mode because if it's on the local setting the stations will sometimes have static.Also you will be surprised at how tiny and compact it is making it easy to carry around.It's also very convenient to jog through the preset stations while on the go and it also has a lock mode for when you what just one station set.Now the important news.The provided headphones are useless.This is probably why other reviewers could not get good reception.Frankly,I got no reception at all when I pluged them in because the FM antenna is in the headphone wire.Not only that but the ear buds don't even fit in your ears.What I got instead are the Sennheisers PX-100 portable headphones and now I'm getting outstanding reception from them as well as great sound quality.So if you order the sony radio make sure you get some portable headphones too.

I've spent a week with this little jewel and, after playing with the programming mode, finally got the hang of entering preset stations. The manual doesn't do a capable enough job of explaining how to do it. Once you get the jist of it, though, it's pretty easy. The sound is incredible, the reception is very good, the size is amazing, and the battery life is very impressive. ONE AAA lasts for quite a while, and, the little symbol that tells you "battery wear" is quite ingenious!! This little companion is one of the best radios I've ever owned. I've just ordered TWO more, just in case. The little earbuds that come standard with the set do a very capable job. One COULD upgrade and, perhaps, get better sound, but, not really needed. I do a lot of brisk walking, and, this is the perfect companion for being on the road. This would also be a great "companion" at ballgames. The small size is amazing and the performance is tops. It's no wonder that a lot of the websites that carry this item show that it's out of stock. Get it. It's a great radio. By the way, the mega bass switch is extremely impressive. The BIG sound of this set for such a small unit is unbelievable. I LOVE this radio!!!!

Hard to believe how good this little beauty is! Never tried the supplied ear buds, but sound is super though Sony MDR-V150 earmuff-style headphones. The automatic shutoff is a nice battery saving feature, although I have two complete college football games and two trips to the gym on the first battery (probably about 11 hours), and it's still going stong. If you are looking for a vary small, but highly functional radio, this is it.
Portable Sony AM/FM Radio November 10, 2006

I am a radio listener. I carry it when I walk my dogs in the morning and in the evening. This portable radio is the best so far. It has a neat digital screen that you can see even when it is dark. The reception is great for its size. If it ever breaks I will replace it with the same one. The price is not bad and I highly recommend it.
Maybe the best walkman I have owned. February 15, 2007

I have been using walkman type radios since 9/11 almost daily for up to 5 hrs. I listen to talk radio and music. This is the smallest model I have had, and one of the best, if not the best. It fits easily in my pocket, and I can change stations/bands without removing it. The reception is very good, certainly in the top 2 of the radios I have used. I work in a building surrounded by metal cases, and it can be hard to pick up stations. This radio does the job, although one of my favorite stations sometimes fades a little when I turn in certain directions. It took me about 5 min to figure out how to add/change stations, but once I got it, it was very simple. Just press the wheel to change bands, and jog the wheel to change stations. Battery life is very good. It takes 1 AAA battery, and I am going on day 15 with an average of 4+ hrs a day.The only minor point, (besides the minor reception issue), is that the volume wheel is next to the headphone connection, and a little hard for my large fingers to adjust. I am thinking about buying another and putting it away in case it's not available when this one wears out ~ Ron
