    It's handy to have. AM stations are sparse. The battery last which makes it not power hungry.

    I've had this Sony for about 1 month now and have been very satisfied with it. I like to use this at the gym or outside running. I also like all the pre-set channels and even the weather band (if needed). Very happy with it!

    Product is not reliable

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The radio stopped working after 4 months. Sony only warrants products for 90 days. I had a Sony camera that also stopped working within the first year of use. Same problem - warranty is lousy.

    Disappointing

    A total disappointment. The reception is weak and the quality of the sound is "bland" I would say. The size is too bulky for what it does. I don't see any justification for the price. It is like last century technology got frozen on this devise.

    Mediocre

    Eats batteries and does not have the ability to scan up or down to the next station. Frustrating to find stations when traveling.

    Poor FM Reception

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    FM tun er in this product is terrible if you're considering this for walking/jogging...it will not maintain a signal if it can receive anything at all....poorly conceived for intended use.

    Don't Buy This!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This unit was defective. It drained 3 new batteries almost immediately. Also the antenna was weak and would not receive local radio stations clearly. The process of return was ridiculous. Best Buy only gives you 15 days to return but it took about 6 weeks to figure out it was defective. Sony's return process is difficulty. You have to ship the defective unit back and wait for a replacement. I expected better customer service from both Best Buy and Sony.
