Summary: perfect for what it's designed to do...
Review: ... which is be small, and receive radio signals. it does both of those things very well. if i get static while listening to an FM station, i flip the little city/rural switch, and most of the time, everything is better. the lock button is very handy, since it deactivates all buttons on the device to avoid accidental channel flipping or powering down. the small nub on the middle radio preset button is extremely helpful, since it allows me to find my favorite radio station if i'm fiddling around with the walkman in my pocket.the only setback: i did notice that it sucks batteries quicker than it should. other than that, i love it.

Summary: Piece of junk! Constant static on all channels!
Review: I bought this radio thinking it was a small, compact, lightweight, digital radio receiver with a phase locked loop tuner. Well, that it is. What the "editorial review" doesn't tell you is that it also has constant static on all channels, no matter how strong the radio signal is. I live in Chicago, and even the strongest radio signal in the country (WLS!) has a strong static in the background. If you like Rock & Roll + static, or news + static, or Country & Western + static, buy this radio because it's definitely for you. I, however, am returning mine. Even my 1980s era analog walkman gets better reception than this piece of junk. Yes, I tried calling Sony tech support, and they were absolutely no help whatsoever.

Summary: I love my little radio!
Review: I really like this little radio. I use this unit primarily in the house, while I am doing dishes, scrubbing floors, going up and down the stairs. I find the lock function helpful, since I am moving around a lot it gets bumped ~ but stays right on the station. I have great reception with this little puppy, which is great, since I live in a rural area in the woods. I did replace my headset with a smaller set, as I do not like the bulky one it came with. On occasion, I have to move the headset cord (its antennae)to eliminate static~but this is minor. My battery life has been good~just do not let the teen use it! Mine was a gift and I love it. Now I can listen to NPR without my family complaining of its boredom point!

Summary: poor reception
Review: I'm used to Sony having good quality, but this was an exception. It would not "lock" onto a station and tended to shut off frequently. Uses lots of battery power for some reason. I used it playing golf, which should not have caused damage or problems with the reception.

Review: I've had this radio for about two years and I'm still on my first set of batteries. It lasts forever. And the reception is awesome. I'm very glad I chose this one.
