4.0 out of 5 stars Good radio 22 Oct 2005
This is a high quality product from Sony which, as you might expect, is sturdily built and extremely durable. It's quite bulky for a personal radio, and on removing the packaging you might be surprised by how thick it is. Also, it only sends sound to the one side of the headphones, so it's not ideal for listening to music. Otherwise it's fine and cheap at the price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does what it's meant to 28 Sep 2006
This is a simple, cheap and easy-to-use radio. It doesn't have any flashy features, but that clearly isn't the aim of this model anyway.

The styling is nice; it follows the classic handheld shape/layout, but the book-like curves give it a slightly more up-to-date feel. Oddly, it's slightly wedge shaped- one side is quite thick- but it fits well in your hand.

The FM reception seems to be pretty good most of the time. I can't really judge AM (MW) because I don't use that as much, and the PC or TV normally interferes with reception; but it seems okay (as far as MW goes, anyway).

You wouldn't expect something this size to give really loud hi-fi sound, and it doesn't. Given those limitations, speech is fine, and music is listenable, although hardly outstanding. Want better/louder sound? Get a bigger radio.

Headphone output only goes to one ear with normal stereo headphones. I don't blame them for omitting FM Stereo from a cheap one-speaker radio, but mono output in both ears would be nice!

This thing seems to go *forever* on two alkaline AA batteries, which is another of its strengths. Build quality also seems to be fine.

This is a simple, unpretentious radio that does its job at a decent price.

I bought this to sit on the windowsill of my bathroom as a different one I had finally gave up after about 14 years. It is the size I'd expect it to be for the price (about the same as the old cassette walkmans), and as I won't be taking it anywhere with me, that doesn't worry me in the slightest.
NB: Some other reviews have commented that when using headphones, you only get the sound in one ear, so be aware if that is how you plan to use it.

The sound is excellent, and the volume when turned up high still doesn't not distort the sound to any great extent.

I am very pleased to have chosen this radio!
