Have you ever wanted a handheld radio that you can take anywhere? Well this is the radio for you! This radio plays AM/FM, the speaker is of great quality and it came with a lanyard for you convenience (I don’t remember if it came with batteries or not, but why should that factor in you purchasing this quality stylish radio) Did I say stylish? That right, I did! I like my electronics to have a certain look, this one looks and reminds me a lot of like the Sony products that I grew up with in the 90’s. The quality and looks are all in this radio. I ended up buying one for my mother, and she too enjoys it! Anyways, don’t let a negative review steer you away from this radio, you’re gonna miss out on taking pride and owner ship of a quality Sony radio.

I just received my little portable radio. I absolutely love it! I initially purchased it in case of a power outage, but I find myself using it constantly!

Just what I was looking for Had transistor radios years ago fun to have reminds me of my younger days

It works great in my office; can get the radio stations I like

I have purchased two of these radios and I love every thing about the radio except the Volume control has gone bad on both of them. Both have uncontrollable volume, it goes from quite to very loud while trying to adjust the volume control. They both seemed to operate OK for a little while then both ended up doing the same thing. Would like to have another one but unsure after buying two that have had the same problem. I like SONY but have ad very bad luck with these two.

Great size & style. Sony is a company you can trust ! Radio has nice clear sound. The "wheel" tuner works great (I prefer it so much more than the "digital)." Puts out a nice clear sound with my headphones too ! I looked at a lot of radios on-line, and this was definitely the best value for the money. I would highly recommend it to anyone !

it is the worst radio ever made!!!! Dont spent your money, dont buy it before listen it. the sound with headphones DOESNT WORK !! You cant hear anything! The volume quality is so poor by headphones and so low too.The station roll button lost the position all the time!! You cant hear the station clearly. When you change the volume you hear annoying noise ! All these are factory and built problems.

I bought this SONY AM/FM Pocket Radio today, because I have previously your Product and I am very satisfied with it, despite, it is an older version of this Pocket Radio.

excellent radio just what my wife was looking for to take to hospital

Very pleased with this product. I have poor reception where I live and this radio is a lot clearer than others I have had

Very pleased with the quality of Sony's personal radio.

Great little radio. Thought it may have come with headphones but not too worry -I went out and bought some.

Sony replaced with new unit, but same problem within a year for each. Volume will not go beyond mid-range without "breaking up". This unit has not been abused in any way.

A good buy. It would be better if there was a hand strap.

Quite good does what I need a bit of music while I work
Old story though you get what you pay for.

Bought this unit to replace an older model and for it's features.

I am very happy with my Sony portable radio. A big plus? - I can listen to the cricket world cup ALL NIGHT!

Nice and portable and easy to use. Good quality sound as well.

Sometimes you just need an old school radio. This little Sony fits the ticket perfectly, with extras.

Nice portable radio to use anytime. Clear sounding speaker has plenty of volume for a portable. Nice features are the low battery indicator and the station strength lights, Also the fact that the batteries last 100 hours!

Good radio, but I feel that Sony's previous models of the same size and power have better sound quality

Bought this for my kitchen after reading other online reviews - sound is crisp and clear and am very happy with my purchase!

Simple to use. Wanted radio with AM. This has exactly what I wanted.

Bought this for my mother in law for emergency preparedness. Simple to use and in a format easily understood by a senior, since it mimics the transistor radios of the 60s that she is familiar with. Traditional analog tuning needs a little skill to use, but it's pretty much only going to be used on the CBC Radio 1 news channel. Loudspeaker gives quite good quality sound at an adequate volume in a quiet room. It did not come with earphones (perhaps a mono earpiece could be included; maybe it is with the full retail model, but I bough it refurbished from a discount seller). Has not be used long enough to determine durability or battery life, but it's a Sony...

I've had numerous radios from Sony over the years and loved all of them. This is the first Sony radio I've had that was a dud. The reception is fine and the sound is fine, and I like the design, but the volume knob broke within 6 months of ownership. I was on my second set of batteries and the volume knob stopped working. The slightest touch of the volume knob either makes the radio go full blast or so quiet it's not worth listening to. There's no in between. I bought this radio at Best Buy and unfortunately did not save the receipt, but I really wish somebody from Sony would get in touch with me for a warranty replacement. I can send in the defective radio. Like I said, I've been buying Sony literally my entire life without the slightest problem until now. I hope Sony steps up to the plate and takes care of this.

Hi,bought this today.
Good points......good sound,...picks up both fm and am stations ok....stylish.
Bad points.
No earphones provided....no batteries provided.

Purchased for my visually impaired mother so she can feel on/off button and tuning wheel etc. She is happy to have something she can put earplugs in to listen during sleepness nights.

Pros : Clean look, quality materials, well made, nice clean sound,
excellent sensitivity, selectivity, volume, long battery life, budget, value priced,
very satisfied with the performance of the radio.

Very nice build quality, nice sound quality.. nice and loud. It's a great little radio for the price!

This is a good reliable basic radio, which I purchased for listening to in my garage.
This radio fits the bill perfectly a good buy.

good sound on it, and I use it indoors and outdoors nice and small it can fit anywhere.

Why did Sony discontinue the excellent SRF59 radio without first releasing a suitable replacement? Over the years I bought dozens of SRF59 radios to give as gifts to the poor. Its great stereo sound, 100 hours of battery life on one AA battery , and price under $20 made it very unique. I did dislike the included headphone though, and gave them nice stereo earphones to use with it.

When I was a kid, a "transistor radio," as we called them then, was my constant companion on the go, on my bike, by my bed, and everywhere else. Now in the era of smartphones and tablets there are a variety of other personal entertainment options, but sometimes a pocket radio is exactly what you want, and this one is fantastic. It sounds great for a radio of its size, the batteries last essentially forever, it's simple to use, it looks sleek, and it gets excellent reception on both the FM and AM bands. A lot of the other small radios available now are cheaply made and barely work, so it's great to see that Sony is still making a high-quality one.

I will see how I like this new model, even though it is smaller and doesn't offer as many features as the previous model.

I just purchased this portable radio. It's solidly built and the reception is excellent. The speaker is well-suited to its size and there is a reasonable amount of bass. I'm using rechargeable batteries so the energy cost is quite reasonable. This radio comes with a hand-strap and a paper owner's manual. I haven't tried the FM band, but it should be just fine. Recommend.

I bought this a few weeks ago & I'm very pleased with it

Brilliant radio, perfect size and just what I was looking for, it never wanders of the station unlike other brands I've researched, well built and well worth the money.

This is a great product with good sound and selectivity for a small pocket radio, the only issue to note is that the aerial sticks out at the back when folded down and sometimes pops out of the clip
