Reliable workhorse-good features [Posted on 2008-07-25]
I bought this radio several years ago and have taken it all over. It goes with me to the gym, on the bus to work, always in my pocket. It's been really reliable and gets great FM reception, and good AM reception. I wish there were a way to counteract the interference from the bus engine/electronics, but that may be beyond the capacity of such an inexpensive radio.
I've never immersed it, but it has gotten wet, and been dropped-it's really well put together. I also love the lock feature to keep the station from changing inadvertently.
Had to return it [Posted on 2008-07-27]
I bought this based on the reiviews and the brand name (Sony) but I experienced really bad reception and static while using it during my walks in open areas such as parks.
Best performing radio of this size I have ever owned [Posted on 2008-08-03]
I have had this radio for about 3 years, and the first one finally succumbed to the frequent drops (it survived several falls from my bicycle at 15 MPH). The internal AM antenna finally dislodged permanently after I fixed it a few times
The AM reception is amazing. At home near Philadelphia, I can easily pick up all New York stations, and can regularly hear Chicago, Cleveland and Cincinnati stations.
The weather band function also works well.
The FM sound quality is OK. I have seen some criticism of this radio in other reviews, but the expectations seem to be unrealistic. It clearly serves its purpose as a small sports radio.
I also saw some criticism of the inadvertent button pushing while exercising - the unit has a lock switch this disables all controls except the volume control - this works very well.
I would highly recommend this radio, and as proof, I just bought a replacement.
Better than satisfactory [Posted on 2008-08-17]
This radio is quite nice. I use it while riding the bus to and from work and the sound is good; it is easy to use and the headphones are comfortable. The only downside is that the reception is not as good as I thought it would be.
OK radio [Posted on 2008-08-31]
The standard FM/AM reception is decent on this radio and it's size is convenient but I have yet to find a weather station on it. Maybe it's just me. I'm going to try another brand.
