Very good sound and easy to use controls. Only takes one AAA battery and it lasts for a long time. One big drawback as I'm sure many have mentioned is that there is no way to lock the volume button and it can accidentally get very loud if the volume dial moves while in your pocket. That is a big design flaw.

I wanted a portable radio to use while sitting in the stands during college football games. I was intrigued by the sport appearance of the Sony. Actual use is cumbersome and not intuitive. Station memory is difficult to set. Tuning is not precise, stations can be heard off channel and not clear on designated channel. Reception is directional by how the radio is placed or held. Tuning is one frequency step per button push or fast forward when button held with no auto stop on strong stations. Local distant button makes no difference. I will keep looking for a better radio.

I live about 35 miles from the DFW antenna farm. My old Memorex (pretty old, huh?) AM/FM/Cassette (what is a cassette?) portable would loose stereo lock from time to time. Same with this SONY. Except this unit is 1/3 the size, has digital tuning (not a 'dial') and fits on your arm. I like it and use it in the yard when I'm gardening (what's that?).

Only problem is the location of the volume control. Every time I clip it to my belt, the volume gets very loud. I have to be very delicate when I do this. The ear buds are fantastic!! They cup right into my ears and don't fall out. Sound quality is good. The listing for this unit show a bundled arm band. The band was not shipped with the product and the supplier said he did not have one. That might have helped the volume control issue.

Pros: light weight, easy to use, sounds great Cons: Head phones are good, but sounds better with sport style earbuds
