Handy portable radio to quietly listen to AM and FM radio, especially if you just want to keep up with news and talk shows. This is a repeat purchase as it tends to be used couple hours a day month after month. Takes quite a bit of abuse getting knocked off the belt and manages to last 2 to 3 years before needing replacing.

I'm old fashion, I guess, and still love my Walkman. This Sony Walkman is great, programs multiple channels and has a digital clock. Sound is excellent!!!

I have used the Sony pocket radio for years and loved it. I needed a new one as I've dropped it too often. The new style was great with push buttons to set, AM/FM plus Weatherband. It was so easy to change stations that I do regularly. My excitement didn't last long. If I bent the wrong way it turned off the radio and/or changed stations. I could live with that. Then it started to "buzz" then would turn off automatically often. After about 15-20 minutes it came back on for a short time, I changed the battery and less than a week it was doing the same thing but more often. I returned the radio. I found the Sony radio I had before this that worked great. I still have a Sony Walkman radio and cassette player that I never had a problem with it. Very disappointed in the quality of this radio. Great idea for a pocket radio if it worked. I hope Sony improves this radio by the time I am ready to purchase another one.

I was looking for a AM/FM radio with a headset to use while walking. This is perfect. The size is great, stations come in clear, and the headset is just the right size.

No one believed that Walkman was still in business. But, I have the Walkman plus weather alert so I now can hear alerts on a Iong walk when listening to music

If you have a need for a mini radio that you have to use headphones or earplugs with, you need a digital one, and this is the only one I can find. Works great.

This small compact portable radio is just what I was looking for in an AM/FM format. Reception is excellent and I can't believe how long this small package portable digital radio runs on one AAA battery. I use it everyday on my morning run. This Sony walkman is a quality portable radio.

As an ardent radio listener, I had high hopes for this SONY radio. The features and functions work as described, but the station signal drift was very noticeable, even for a strong local FM station. I subsequently received a Sangean DT-180 which turns out to have excellent reception and no signal drift.
