Sony SRF-M78 Portable AM/FM Radio

Better than some other alternatives

The used Sony Walkman Sports radio I purchased is in very good condition and shows signs of very light use. I purchased it to use while kayaking on area lakes. The highly rated Chinese radio that I had previously been using had lousy reception and would not stay tuned to stations or maintain a level volume. Today on a lake this Sony Sports Walkman performed considerably better than the previous radio. Although it it performed well overall staying tuned and maintaining a level volume, there were a couple of areas on the lake that it picked up a lot of interference for unknown reasons. Overall I think it is a good radio for my intended use.Read full review

Sadly, Sony is usually top notch, this one must have been used (unkindly)

It was advertised as great quality, I don't agree. It won't set new stations, cuts off at will, reception is acceptable, but not good. It is clean looking.

Great Sony AM/FM Radio

Great little AM/FM radio with removable armband for hands free use. Good sound and reception. Five presets for both AM and FM. Buttons can sometime be accidentally touched causing an unwanted station change but that rarely happens. (Occasionally, volume control can be accidentally moved with similar unwanted results.) Uses 2 AAA batteries so play time is longer and replacement is less frequent. Overall, a dependable quality product from Sony...Read full review

SONY is the one !

First of all the brand name SONY says a lot. It has a very good reputation for quality and performance. I live in the New York area and reception is never a problem.
The radio is small and light weight. The wrist band can be removed quickly if you want to put the radio in a shirt pocket. The preset buttons make all the difference when changing stations on the fly. I recommend this radio to anyone working or playing outdoors.Read full review

Oldie but a goodie.

I walk quite a bit each day and by using this, I am able to listen to music or the Rangers Baseball game as I am getting exercise...the strap to the arm is a bit used but I have put some new Velcro in areas to make it work. It seems to be a little sensitive to angle and reception but I cant complain. I am really using this product.Read full review

Good purchase.

I work outside as a gardener and I have been quite happy with this radio. Reception is very good. I don’t wear it on my arm. I hook it to my belt. The controls are a bit awkward . But all in all I’m glad I bought it.Read full review
