    This radio is convenient and easy to use. It is great to use when exercising at the gym or attending a KINGS game to listen to the radio announcers.

    This is awesome. Reception is great, bass and sound is great. Best thing though is when the battery dies, just throw another AAA in and keep going, No plugging and waiting for anything to charge. Also , when it's not good to look at something to figure what you want to listen to, it's very easy to operate and change channels or adjust the volume without taking all of you're attention. And you don't have to worry if it gets wet.

    This is a great radio for a guy who loves to work out, yet listen to AM Radio stations and Sports Talk. Easy set up, durable, priced right.

    The walkman works good, but the ear phones are not very convenient for wearing when working out. I bought new ear phones that wrap around my ears and fit into my ears.

    Great little radio, decent reception on am to listen to Rush Limbaugh and other talk radio. Head phones are useless for active listening but works great with my personal set of phones. Excellent battery life also.

    The ear bud plug would not stay in the hole to connect to the iPhone. It did connect and worked fine for about two weeks then no longer. The Walkman itself is good.

    Seems to be good for the price. Nothing special. Works ok. Like the arm band attachment. Ear buds are good enough. Overall, just OK

    I liked the radio quality but found the armband to be somewhat clumsy to use. I use the radio with the earbuds only now.

    For the money this is one the best purchases I have made in a long time. The Radio was purchased so that I could listen to the radio while working out and taking it to football games so that I could listen to the radio broadcast. It was wonderful for both those purposes as the radio eliminated all of the background noise and permitted me to hear all the broadcasts. This is one great radio.

    I use this for cycling, at the beach, working. Any place where it's likely to get banged up or dropped, etc. It's just a radio but that's what I want, not too expensive, durable, and good reception.

    Terrific Portable Radio

    Exactly as advertised, and performs well if within a good reception area. I use it when hiking in hilly areas, so the reception is sometimes spotty. A clear signal gives an excellent result. MegaBass feature is a good addition, but it eats up battery power. Lots of presets for both AM & FM. Instructions should be read before using as not everything is intuitive. Well worth the money.

    Can't go wrong with Sony. Excellent reception in an area that's not known for good reception. Using it without the arm band. The clip is strong and sturdy and fits great juust clipped to my belt on my waist. Love the preset channels and the lock switch which prevents any accidental changes.

    This is a great product for the great outdoors. Either for walking jogging or working outside, it is lightweight and weather resistant. I would have given it five stars but the headphones it comes with are useless compared to using earbuds. Also on a.m. stations, which I like to listen to for talk radio, indoor reception is horrible. FM stations work fine indoors though.

    So far haven't used it enough to have an honest opinion. The ear buds don't fit snug into my ear, but the sound comes thru very clear. The radio is small, which is great for carrying, but the buttons are also very small and with no reading glasses on, I cannot see any buttons. Programming it is a bit challenging. With more use I will figure it out.

      Hi blonde! My advice it to use the Walkman more often. I'm sure you'll love it even better. Thanks for your feedback. - Vincent Sonystyle
