    This radio is very easy to set up and start playing. The headset is comfortable. The radio clips on to the waistband of anything I am wearing. The only thing I don't like is my arm occasionally turns it off.

    Great radio. Durable and simple to use. One of the few I found that still picks up AM stations. I don't use the weather band or the TV band but since Colorado Avalanche hockey games are only broadcast on AM radio, it works great. Good sounding and reliable.

    I've owned one of these radios before, that is why i repurchased it. They are really good with battery life and only require one AA. It is very good on reception. Though I prefer my own choice of headphones.

    I was looking for something small and light to accompany my morning walks. This radio is just what I needed. It has very good reception and pulls in most stations in the area. It fastens easily to a pocket flap and has a "lock" button to avoid inadvertent tuning adjustments. My exercise has become more enjoyable listening to Rush! Nick

    I replaced another Sony AM/FM mini radio that was not digital. It worked fine but I couldn't stand the tuning in process, especially when I switched from one band to another. And it doesn't have a hold button like my digital does so frequently I would have to re-tune in a station if the dial moved while the radio was in my pocket. Easy to use preset process, a marked improvement on another smaller radio that I had also abandoned. Sound is good. The headphones that come with the radio have excellent sound, but they're just to big and bulky. I don't know why Sony doesn't provide a nice set of ear buds for such a small product.

    I like to listen to talk radio wherever I go. This product does that very well. I can work in the yard, in the garage, or run errands and still listen to my favorite shows. I even go to sleep with this minimally invasive radio and ear plugs.

    I bought this radio for my grandmother, and she used it well. The headphones it comes with aren't great. The battery cover broke the first time I went to change the batteries out. Meh.

    Small portable and easy to use. Picked up every station I needed. Only concern was that the buttons would get pushed in my purse so I had to make sure it was turned off alot.

    I was looking for something to wear while walking. Since I will be retiring soon, I did not want to use my smartphone. Impressed with the reception and how small the radio is.

    I got this for my husband to listen to during his carpool commute. He loves being able to listen to the radio station of his choice without using up his phone battery or carrying around a phone & iPod. He just leaves it in the car, because who would break in to steal a small radio? Perfect!

    I wanted to find a small portable radio so I could listen to Nebraska football and volleyball games while working outdoors. I haven't had it very long but so far it's doing well. The first time I think I may have accidentally left it "on" when I thought it was off because the volume was turned to zero. The battery was dead when I tried to use it the next week. This time I made sure the CLOCK was displayed and the HOLD was clicked to keep the radio off. That seemed to work. I love the small size, but ditched the bulky headphones immediately for ear buds. (wish it came with ear buds) I only use it for local stations (AM and FM) which were easy to pre-set. Reception has been fine. I think it's going to be perfect for what I need.

    It was a gift. I was told that it has a better reception that Insignia that I sent before. Seems like it popular between patients who has no access to internet and does not too many choices, but listen to radio.

    Needed a good radio to listen to while working. It needed to have good reception as I work in a cinderblock and brick building where stations come in very weak, if at all. This Walkman has the best reception of the many I have used in the past. I am very pleased so far.

    IT Is a good little inexpensive pocket radio. I use it at ball games, mowing grass and walks on the beach. Not many people into am/fm radios these days but great for listening to sports when you are active.
