Most Helpful First | Newest First | + ShareThe best pocket radio I have ever owned.
(5 out of 5) by Mr. Sc Mikel on May 25, 2009 (England)This radio really is extraordinary for its size. The size of the radio is about the length of 1 finger long and half a thumb's width.
Taking only a single AAA battery to use, it weighs about as much as a chocolate biscuit and I can barely feel its presence in my pocket.
So far I've had over 10 hours of use so far and still no sign of the battery running out.
The Megabass switch adds a heavy amount of bass to the sound, but still leaves the option for normal sound if you want to stay less immersed.
Perhaps another shocker is the signal is incredibly strong and I can pick up a clear signal anywhere and everywhere, even on a moving train the signal does not break up at all.
The receiver can be set to FM-Stereo, FM or AM. The FM-Stereo option really provides stereo audio, something which is only limited to mostly large radios.
However if the signal starts breaking up you can switch it to FM which although looses the stereo effect, boosts the signal remarkably.
Also the headphones included are reliably tough and take the daily battering from my commute very well.
Its the best pocket radio I've ever owned and will probably last years and many holidays to come. At this price its an absolute steal. Get it before they're all gone!

I bought this walkman about four years ago from Amazon and I have used it indoors and oudoors and overnight from 22.00 till 07.00 nearly every day/night since then.(dont ask :))
The case is so worn down I can hardly see the writing on it anymore but it has great sound, does not eat AAA batteries like some( single AAA last around 40 - 50 hours), is simple to tune and when it finally died of old age last night I was quite frankly gutted.
So I was very pleased to find it still offered on Amazon and have orderd it today. There are not many of these types of stereos left on the market but if you just want/need a simple FM or AM radio this is the best on the market. Even though the earphones supplied are not equal to the the stereo it still deserves a FIVE.
Do not mistake this walkman for the Sony SRF-M97 walkman which is the next one up in the range. I bought that one in an airport Dixsons store but it has too many buttons /presets etc and is quite frankly over engineered and next to useless.
