    An extraordinary musical atmosphere, 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 Walkman's 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 it's today's game broadcast or analysis of yesterday's 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.

                  Reception excellent.
                  Battery Level after 7days = 1.4vdc, down from 1.6vdc at outset.
                  Average use is 7hrs / day, weekdays Only.
                  Single AA battery appears sufficient.
                  Losing some reception at 1.39vdc, after 10 days.
                  Controls are recessed nicely, no snags on adjacent items.

                          I bought this radio for listening while riding public transit. I'm letting go of my car and plan to ride the bus to work and other activities and I thought I could make this quite enjoyable with a good radio. My Sony Walkman Radio brings my fav classical music station in Watertown US as clear as a bell and my fav Canadian Talk Show station. I love it!

                                  Use out in the greenhouse or other lonely chores. Reception good and only takes one AA Battery. Headphones just OK, but what do you expect for about $20?

                                  I use this walkman while I walk my dog. It is inexpensive and works like a charm. I would recommend it to anyone.

                                  It doesn't have buttons but they are not needed if you listen to only a few different stations. The clip that fits on the belt does come loose easily, but the radio is so small that is fits in a shirt pocket.

                                        Bought this for my 77 year old mother who uses it at her health club; she's not an electronics savvy person, but she's amazed at how good the FM quality is.

                                              I have a radio upstairs and downstairs. I have bought one to be used by an old lady in hospital and now a visitor of hers wants one. It is a great success.

                                              I find the battery container a little difficult to open but understand that it needs to be that way.

                                              The tuning, volume, and am/fm controls take a little learning and then are very easy to use in the dark.

                                              I think it is an absolutely wonderful, wonderful radio for someone who wants to move around and still be tuned in
