Really serves the purpose - a radio for my husband to listen to with an earplug all night without waking me! He does sometimes have trouble with the controls.

I buy one of these radios for my mother to use every other year. She uses it daily and it was important for her to have a small portable radio. She needed one that could play both am/fm radio. You may have to replace the batterries every two to three weeks when used daily. I hope Sony never stops manufacturing this radio!

It is very difficult to find both an AM and an FM device. Most are only FM tuners. I opened this up and put the battery in, everything else was intuitive for me. The controls include AM, FM and a weather band. In order to set a station just hold the button in. The only reason why I didn't give it a "5" was because it is a little "tinny" soundwise. I haven't tried a better headset. Overall, it is a great little device.

Wanted a small radio I can stick in my pocket, that had headphones so I can sit out on my front porch to listen to local news while I'm having coffee. Happened to see these online and saw they had them at the local BB. Price online was cheaper by about $10, but BB matched the price right away. Happy with this little radio set.

Bought this radio to listen to the football game broadcast while I was in the stadium. Signal was strong (unlike some other small radios I have purchased in the past) and would definitely recommend this. Being able to save stations as favorites is huge too, and the volume was plenty loud enough to block out the crowd noise around me. Now if only we could win a few more games (Eagles).

This small radio is perfect for walking, running, gardening, etc. It only requires a single AAA battery and runs for many hours before draining the battery. It is programmable to your favorite stations, both AM and FM. The one drawback is that the headphones creep when you bend over, but I imagine that could be overcome by using a headband or substituting ear buds.
