4.0 out of 5 stars A Nice Piece of Kit., 22 Oct 2005
By Keith R. Finch (Folkestone, Kent) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I purchased this mainly to listen to tapes for some coursework that I do. However, the radio on it is extremely good and I did not realise how improved the new Walkmans are. If you have a need to play tapes and also want a reasonable portable radio, then buy this.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT !, 8 April 2006
I was a bit wary about buying this item after reading the review by the person who said I'd have to be under a radio mast to get a good radio signal. I'm glad I followed the other reviwers - this is a great item for the money. I've already pre-set the stations I need and pick them up very well. Excellent item !

4.0 out of 5 stars sony walkman, 5 Oct 2004
By mr m e jones (telford, shropshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Having only just bought the walkman, and mainly for cassette use, I was surprised how good the radio is. I have travelled to different parts of the country and have had no problems tuning it in to both national and local stations. My wife now uses it as a radio inside a building and has no problems with reception. I recommend it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good in parts but poor AM
Although FM reception is good, I found AM very poor - lots of noise and virtually no reception when product is held upright. Tape quality is good as expected. Read more

I purchased this walkman to listen to whilst walking to work and a radio was a prerequisite for me, hence why I chose not to go down the CD walkman route. Read more
