    This Sony AM/FM/Weather portable radio is perfect for those who travel to many places and need what the weather or local news/traffic reports will be in the current area on-the-spot. Small enough to pack away.

    Now my husband can enjoy his favorite talk radio show without missing a word. And I can enjoy a quiet cup of coffee.

    I bought this as a replacement for the same radio that I had for years. The reception is excellent. I love the size for wearing around the house doing housework, walking the dog or out in the yard.

    Excellent Pocket Radio. It does eventually, maybe 3 or so years, wear out or go bad, but provides MANY HOURS of listening. I recommend it.

    I purchased this radio primarily because of the digital design and not having to fidget with a dial. Great reception, very compact and sounds great. Love the added feature of weather receptions also. Great bang for your buck

    I bought this radio to use to listen to the telecast at college football games. I used to use my phone, but fewer phones these days include built in FM. The device works well, especially if attached to your belt on your back side (I get the clearest reception then). The interface is easy to use and the battery life has been good so far. The included headphones were not my style (prefer earbuds), but otherwise a great value.

    Bought this to listen to ballgames on AM radio anywhere without dragging an old boom box out. Also has weather radio, but reception is very poor. Does not scan to find stations, so one must push the button repeatedly until station is found and recorded into presets. With no button lock I am constantly bumping buttons and accidentally changing bands or stations just about any time I move if I am wearing it. Not worth the 35 bucks I paid for it. I do however like being able to plug it into any of several portable speaker systems around the house. I have a lot of other Sony products that have never disappointed me, but this one is a loser.

    I really like this radio-it's simple am-fm radio and that's it. The reception is pretty good and I like that you can lock in radio stations with preset buttons. I do wish it had ear-buds instead of headphones. The headphones are kinda bulky-but they sound good.

    My old Walkman MP3 player broke. It also was an FM receiver. Seems that new MP3 players only play downloaded music. So l purchased this Walkman which is only a radio. The earphones that are included in the purchase produce very nice tone.

    I bought this for my wife so she could receive TV sound that is transmitted over FM at the gym and it works fine. She uses higher end earbuds, which help improve the sound.

    This is a great improvement over my prior Sony personal radio, the reception is better and battery lasts for daily 12 hr use for about 8 days. Like that I can lock it and it prevents from accidental turn-on in my bag. I don't want to deplete my smartphone battery by listening to music or news all day, so this is a perfect solution for sitting at a desk working at a computer screen all day long.

    Overall good radio. Some areas doesn't tube well. Doesn't tune well. Buttons are a little small also. Got on sale so overall good value. Would recommend to a friend.
