    Though my first choice for this type of radio was unavailable, this one has worked very well and is very easy on batteries--which is great!

    I bought this radio because it has the weather band, provides both AM and FM stations, and a way to get the news when the electricity goes out. I plan on taking it to Hawaii in the event of a tsunami warning.

    This replaced my original Walkman which I used constantly. Had to be 20 years old. It was still working but beat up. So I purchased this new one. Works perfectly! Very good product!

    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.

    I needed an AM/FM radio to use when taking my daily walks to help pass the time. I can't use ear buds, and I was very pleased with the comfort of the headphones. They are very light and have a great sound. The radio was very simple to set up and start using. My only problem is that it is very easy to accidentally change the station and band if the unit is bumped, but it is no problem to put it back where I want it. The weather band is also a nice bonus feature.

    I use this radio while jogging and bicycling. It works very well and is easy to change stations while moving. I like the switch that disables all the buttons except volume.

    I think this is a good portable radio but the only down size is the AAA vs AA batteries and also the shorter battery life... I think it would be a better radio with AA power and also remove the weather band and have 5 more AM presets... Otherwise this is a good product for its size and it price point...4/8/16

    This is a very nice radio and has excellent reception. The instructions tell the technical reason why the reception is so good. Sure makes a difference. Use it all the time in the gym. It is also easy to operate. I purchased a cheaper radio before I bought this unit and took it back for the Sony. I am glad I did that.
