Panasonic RF-SW50A Shockwave Portable Radio (Blue)

Summary: Overall, worth your money.
Review: Sounds terrific! I purchased it based on the reviews. I must say it exceeded my expectations. I've owned my share of portable radios and the RF-SW50 has by far the best quality sound. You will want to replace the headset with one that is more comfortable, but the radio is worth it.

Summary: I'm happy with this :)
Review: The clarity is excellent. I agree that it does eat batteries, but then again I have this radio on for eight hours, five days a week hooked up to my computer speakers at work.

Summary: Must be the CIA interference
Review: These FM tuners must be quirky little things and highly dependent on local conditions. All I can say is I could not receive any of the local FM stations I wanted to listen to in the middle of Washington, D.C. nor the nearby suburb of Arlington, Va., not using the stock headphones nor my good Sony earbuds. Not on the regular or "city" sensitivity setting. Bah! Back to Amazon with these.

Summary: Okay, but not great
Review: This is the 4th radio of this type I've owned, the last being a Sony SRFM73. After reading the poor reviews of the Sony sucessor version, I decided to give this Panasonic a try. I must say that I' ve been a little disappointed in my first impression. If you're considering this unit you should be aware that the headset is very weak. I don't like the way it fits in my ears, and the minijack doesn't sit properly in the socket, so that when I first plugged in, there was no sound, and I had to fiddle around with it to get a connection. Then I would lose good connection when the cord was bumped. I ended up using the head phones from the Sony, which work better. That said, I don't think the reception is that great. The sound was a little fuzzy. Things I like, are the small size and the price.

Summary: BIG TIME SOUND IN A LIGHT WEIGHT PACKAGE
Review: THIS RADIO IS A MUST FOR ANYONE LISTENING TO THE GAME AT THE STADIUM. IT IS LIGHT WEIGHT AND DOESN'T GET IN YOUR WAY WHILE YOU ENJOY THE GAME. THE RECEPTION WAS VERY SURPRISING. I FOULD I COULD GET SIGNALS FROM STATIONS MILES AWAY. THE CONTROLS ARE EASY TO OPERATE AND THE SOUND QUALITY IS VERY GOOD FOR THIS PRICE.

Summary: Piece of crap
Review: You're wasting your money. Extremely annoying to operate. Not a problem cause it breaks after a couple of months. Take the money and get some dental work, it's way more fun.
