    The price and appearance of this little radio belie the incredible AM performance hiding inside. This radio is absolutely smoking on AM. It's truly hard to believe what it can do. The internal antenna is highly directional, allowing you to often null out interfering co-channel stations. It is highly selective, eliminating interference from adjacent channels for all but the strongest of local channels.

    I've not spent as much time using it on FM, but I have to say the sound when using good ear buds (not the included headphones) is very impressive. If you didn't know better you'd never believe such sound could come from such a small and unimpressive looking radio.

    On the downside, the tuning is purely analog. There is no digital readout and the tight scale used on the tuning dial makes it virtually impossible to determine what frequency you're on without hearing a station ID. The tuning dial is also very stiff and extremely sensitive. The tiniest movement of the dial will move you one or two stations on the dial. Tuning requires a steady, accurate hand.

    Reports from a number of friends indicate this radio is very voltage sensitive. Use an alkaline battery. The rechargeable batteries just don't provide enough voltage to let this little gem shine like it should.

    Excellent radios, but high failure rate

    I bought 20 of these radios, and within a 6 month period, I have 3 that are full spectrum radios. One was like that from factory. Aside from that, these are very good...Read complete review

              A lush musical soundscape, the effortless and detailed reproduction of a classical string quartet, and the latest news broadcast in one compact unit. The Sony SRF-59SILVER Walkman is just a fantastic radio that offers reception of all types of music and news information from the FM/AM bands. The Sony Walkman is also an ideal personal radio to take on the bus or train when travelling to or from work or for any other portable audio task. This Sony portable radio features excellent sensitivity and selectivity with respect to its broadcast FM/AM reception capabilities. The Sony SRF-59 Walkman is well suited for my diverse musical and talk radio interests. I admire the quality and inherent value that this Sony Walkman represents in the portable audio product category. The Sony SRF-59 Walkman radio is a small and lightweight unit that fits easily in your hand or on your belt with supplied clip. The Sony SRF-59 Walkman is a take anyplace radio that performs well under difficult seasonal conditions such as a very hot summer day. I use the Sony SRF-59 Walkman frequently when sitting poolside, at home for private listening sessions, or when I walk in my neighborhood. The supplied headphones fit comfortably over my ears for a stress-free listening experience for an extended period of time. The FM stereo reception of my favorite rock music stations sound magnificent. The Sony Walkmans broadcast reception is free of static and other distracting noise anomalies that often plague lesser performing portables. It is without doubt, that this Sony Walkman offers drift-free classic analog tuning performance. Listening to AM broadcasts is a joy on this portable. My listening preference is for sports talk radio. Whether its todays game broadcast or analysis of yesterdays game, this Sony SRF-59 Walkman portable radio is always there to satisfy my sports talk needs perfectly. Talk radio programs and news broadcasts come in accurately and with great clarity as well. The Sony SRF-59 Walkman requires only one AA battery to operate and it never seems to run out. The Sony SRF-59 Walkman has the essential features that a traditional radio or outdoor aficionado would appreciate. Those high performance features include: FM/AM reception, headphone cord FM antenna, built-in AM antenna, analog tuner, thumbwheel style tuning dial, FM local/distance sensitivity switch, FM/AM band slide switch, power on/off switch, 3.5 mm headphone output jack, volume control, and belt clip. With its trouble-free AM reception and precise FM stereo reproduction, this Sony SRF-59 Walkman is an outstanding performer. Good Luck. Enjoy.
