Summary: poor quality
Review: After about 5 months of use this unit failed. It began to "drift" and could not hold a station.Also it would not change stations after a while. Buyer beware this is a bad unit. Not that i am suprised because most sony products have a limited life span but 5 months is weak.

Summary: Poor product from Sony
Review: Coming from Sony, I expected a very good product
however I was disappointed. The unit is quite
light and compact but the FM reception is very
bad. In Local mode, the audio keeps fading in and
out. When switched to DX mode, there is unbearable
hissing and static. Got fed up after using it for
3 days, am returning it. I used to be impressed
with the general quality of Sony products but
nowadays I'm going for other brands like Panasonic.

Summary: Low Quality
Review: For the price of this one digital radio, I could have purchased a tape player with a digital radio included, and not too much larger! For being just a radio, I would expect this to be a little smaller and cheaper.I wanted to get a radio that could pull in a couple of distant stations while playing frisbee golf. I wanted digital tuning and the absolutely best reception that I could get. I was a little disappointed. The weaker stations were sometimes drowned out by a powerful station at the other end of the dial (problem with image rejection). It also does not have a "seek" feature. Expect to spend a lot of time scanning the dial manually unless you already know the stations that you want to listen to. Otherwise, it is a fine radio. It sounds good, and if you listen to stations that have a fairly strong signal, then you should be happy with this.

Summary: Great Product Fallen On Bad Times
Review: Have ALWAYS had great satisfaction with every SONY product and have always been willing to pay the higher price for products. Have used the Walkman AM/FM radio for years. Finally, needed to buy new one. During 2001, had to buy THREE (3) of these items. Each "lost" the A M stations, the F M stations became limited and finally, the batteries (2 AAA) needed replacement with 15 hours of use. Returned to retailer. Was told to contact manufacturer. The SONY company has not responded. As I said...great product but... something has gone wrong with latest production quality.

Summary: Broke within a month
Review: I bought this unit for work. I get good FM reception but no AM reception in the building where I work, but then again either did previous walkmans. For the abuse this walkman has taken it still works just like the day I bought it and it doesn't seem to eat the batteries like my previous walkmans. I would recommend this unit to anyone....I have really enjoyed mine....

Summary: Sturdy little radio, just perfect
Review: I got my little sony radio 2 years ago and it's still going strong. I have used it nearly every day for 2 years and I have never had a problem with it. I have dropped it probably a dozen times, had it kicked and stepped on accidentally, had it fall in a lake and sit in the sun for many hours. I wouldn't be surprised if it stopped ticking after all of this abuse but it still has the same wonderful sound quality as it did when I first got it. It's super small and can fit in your pocket very easily which make it a great workout buddy. A lot of people who see it confuse it for a tiny MP3 player but it's just a simple radio. I cannot sing its praises enough... it was well worth the $$ or so I paid for it!

Summary: Works good but won't work
Review: I got one for Christmas 2001, good sound quality, light weight. It lasted about 1 1/2 to 2 months then when I jogged it would automatically shut off after 3 mi, then 2mi, then 1mi, it got worse. It was out of warranty so I couldn't get a new one. I liked the sound quality so much I bought another. This one cut out first time after less than a mile. Needless to say I quickly returned it for my money and I won't buy another.
