This is the second radio of this type that I have purchased. I still have the first one; I just needed another one. It is a compact radio that works well. It fulfills my needs in that area.

Don't Buy This!

on May 18, 2016

Posted by: Adnil

This unit was defective. It drained 3 new batteries almost immediately.
Also the antenna was weak and would not receive local radio stations clearly. The process of return was ridiculous. Best Buy only gives you 15 days to return but it took about 6 weeks to figure out it was defective. Sony's return process is difficulty. You have to ship the defective unit back and wait for a replacement. I expected better customer service from both Best Buy and Sony.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Resilient and dependable

on May 18, 2016

Posted by: Hoppy

I'm going to buy a new one after the one I have had for 4 years lost it's battery cover. I dropped it at least 12 times in that time and it kept on performing the same. I find the inside reception good outdoors. Inside reception will likely be around the same as an old school boombox in my experience. This radio is also a power sipper so batteries last well. I think i get around 4 days of 6 hour use at work on a fully charged rechargeable AAA battery. Good item if you work in a business that does not allow personal electronic items capable of taking pictures on the work floor.

Excellent portability

Verified Purchase:Yes

I use this at work when they banned the use of MP3 players. A lot of slots to preset stations. It also plays AM, which may or may not be important to some! Great signal, low battery consumption.

good for listening to baseball games

on May 29, 2016

Posted by: Marty

Verified Purchase:Yes

I bought this to listen to baseball games at the ballpark. Although sometimes the reception is scratchy, by and large it works well for my purposes. The digital display is so much easier than a dial tuner.

Okay radio

Verified Purchase:Yes

Radio is small and easy to use. It does not receive FM signals inside of buildings very well. This was the reason why I bought it.

Good product, weather bands don't work

on June 11, 2016

Posted by: brunsr71

from Milwaukee, WI

Verified Purchase:Yes

AM/FM radio works fine, good sound, Sony quality. For some reason the weather bands don't work, I just get full static. Not sure what frequencies they are pre-programmed to, but I can pick them up fine on my emergency weather radio and ham radio, just not on this radio. It's nice to have something simple to listen to when going for a walk without the complication of a smartphone.
