Not what It seems
on May 3, 2014
Posted by: Jacijohnson
The description stated that you could listen to radio and tv. You can not listen to tv stations. It has weather channels too, but I wanted to listen to tv. Returned and got a refund on both that I bought.

Most efficient portable radio
on October 3, 2014
Posted by: RUGZ
Battery life on a single AAA is the best on the market. Volume is just as good as competing models requiring 2 AA's. Antenna sensitivity is also very good given compact size.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bought this Walkman to replace an older model. Happy with my choice so far. Unit is very light and easy to carry on my belt or top of pants. Reception and sound quality are good. I like the digital tuning.

Great Walking Companion!
on May 3, 2014
Posted by: JimBob49
I use this little "gem" on my 3-mile daily walk and it performs like a champ. The radio pulls in plenty of stations, including weather stations, and the clip holds the unit securely to my clothing. I find the headset quite comfortable, and the sound is amazing! One battery lasts for several weeks, and I carry a spare so I can change batteries while I walk if necessary. It does display battery life, so I rarely have to change while I'm out walking. The buttons are great, precise digital tuning, so I can change from a music station to a talk show in a flash without even looking at the display. I highly recommend this radio to anyone who wants quality personal radio listening at a very affordable price.

Best Radio Ever!!!!
on August 29, 2011
Posted by: RadioGuy1019
I have had this radio for several years. It is by far and away the best radio I have ever had. Compact, easy to use design makes this a must have radio. Audio quality is superior to any portable radio I have ever owned (I have dozens of radios, and have personally been on the radio numerous times at several local stations, both as a caller and in studio. What I'm trying to say is I know my stuff!) This radio has great recption for it's size. The included headphones sound amazing. Mine have worn out because of heavy use (I avgerage 75-100 hours of radio listening per week, with more than half of it on this radio). Because of this I recently purchased a pair of Sony earbud headphones for about $20 and the sound quality was even more amazing than before. Another thing about this radio is it's reliablity. I have put thousands and thousands of hours on this radio and it still starts up every time without problems. Like I said before I spend many, many hours listening to the radio. I have used this radio for strecthes of upwards of 20 hours strait on numerous occasions and I have not had a problem once. The sheer portability of this radio is an excelent feature. It can be taken in the car, to sporting events, to resturants, on long walks, ect. I love how this radio uses only one AAA battery. That makes it very easy to carry several extra batteries in my pocket on the numerous long walks I take. Bottom line, this is the best portable radio you can buy. The $30 price of this radio is worth every penny.
What's great about it: easy to use, great design, very relible
What's not so great: none!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Gets interference
on January 20, 2010
Posted by: napper
I get interference from a station tower within 5 miles of me on other stations. Radio will work satisfactorily if stationary, but this is a WALKman! Inadequate front end filtering on this radio. My other radios (car radios, etc.) do not have this problem. I am very disappointed in Sony engineering on this radio.
What's great about it: nice designed
What's not so great: interference from nearby station
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
