Hello Marguerite. Welcome to the Best Buy Community. Thank you for your question. The product dimensions for Sony SRF-M37W FM/AM/WB Walkman |SKU:8692471 are: Width: 3-3/8", Height: 2-½", Depth: 1" and Weight: 3.32 ounces. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend Sony SRF-M37W Walkman for a visually impaired individual. The Sony Walkman’s controls are very small and it does not feature a built-in speaker. I recommend Sony ICF-38 FM/AM Portable Radio for your needs in this regard. Sony ICF-38 Portable Radio is substantially larger than Sony SRF-37W Walkman yet easily portable for a high quality personal audio experience at any time. I am providing you with additional information to further assist you with your purchasing decision. Sony ICF-38 Portable Radio outputs marvelous sound and offers outstanding FM/AM reception for such a small portable. You will be shocked at how large, clear and powerful the sound is coming from this diminutive radio. The analog tuning dial is extremely sensitive, selective and accurate in its reception of weak signal broadcasts and adjacent channel frequencies along the crowded FM/AM dial in the radio market that I reside in. Sony portable radio receives every FM/AM station that I care for perfectly with static free sound. AM DX reception during the nighttime hours under appropriate seasonal conditions is outstanding. The music sounds magnificent on the FM Band.

Sony ICF-38 Portable Radio offers class leading audio performance in its lightweight portable audio product category. Sony ICF-38 Portable Radio is perfect for listening to news, sports, talk, weather and music programs just about anywhere at any time. The FM or AM bands can be changed even when this unit is powered off. Sony ICF-38 Portable Radio is powered by 4 AA cell batteries (not included with purchase) that rarely seem to get exhausted. Sony ICF-38 FM/AM Portable Radio offers superior battery life performance for your advanced portable audio power needs. Sony ICF-38 FM/AM Portable Radio is compatible with the following AA 1.5V battery types: carbon-zinc, alkaline, lithium and NiMH rechargeable batteries (1.2V 2400-2750 mAh capacity recommended). A built-in heavy-duty super thick 18 AWG (wire gauge) polarized plug AC power cord approximately 60-inches in length is included as an alternate home based power source for Sony ICF-38 AM/FM Portable Radio. The high-grade power cord provides maximum electrical conductivity and thermal protection while this unit is plugged into a wall outlet, power strip, surge protector or DC to AC power inverter. The installed batteries are automatically disconnected as a direct current power source when the AC power cord is plugged into a wall outlet. All batteries should be removed from the battery compartment if this unit is powered exclusively by household AC power. The battery compartment is divided into two sections. The upper half contains two rows of battery terminals that hold 2 AA batteries each. Each row of AA batteries must be inserted in reverse polarity order. The lower half of the battery compartment features storage space for the hardwired AC power cord. The battery compartment cover can be fully opened to remove batteries or the AC power cord but it can’t be detached under normal circumstances. The battery compartment lid can be reinserted back into the battery compartment if it inadvertently becomes separated from the main unit. The monaural earphone jack will only permit the user to hear audio out of the left side of a pair of stereo headphones. This issue can easily be corrected by connecting a 3.5mm-monaural-male-to-3.5mm-stereo-female headphone plug adapter to Sony ICF-38 Portable Radio. The optional stereo headphone adapter must be connected to Sony ICF-38 FM/AM Portable Radio’s earphone jack to enable monaural sound output to both the left and right stereo headphone speakers. The earphone jack automatically mutes the internal speaker when it is in use. A monaural or stereo 3.5mm-female-to-3.5mm-male plug headphone extension cord up to 25 feet can be connected to this unit’s earphone jack for extended reach applications as well. Sony ICF-38 FM/AM Portable radio can be attached to any monaural or stereo pillow speaker sporting a 3.5mm (1/8”) Input Jack for late-night listening convenience. Additionally, the earphone jack can be connected to any pair of powered speakers with a 3.5mm (1/8”) Line Input Jack for more powerful audio playback, if desired. Lastly, the earphone mini jack can be attached to the 3.5mm or RCA Stereo Line Input Jack of any portable tape recorder or digital MP3 recorder to archive radio programs for personal use.
