Sony Walkman SRF-M80V AM/FM/Weather/TV Radio

Pros: Small size, electronic tuning
Cons: Lack of electronic volume control, hard to use while moving

I bought this specifically to use while jogging. I usually run in the evening, which means that during the Maine winter it is dark and cold. I thought that listening to the radio would divert my attention from the cold and ice. It did capture my...

Pros: Sony quality that you'd expect. Good reception for radio/TV stations
Cons: Station LED could be larger, and easier to view.

INTRO:
At work we use to have a boom box we all listened to. However, one guy likes the Edge, another likes the Bone, and myself I like WildOn. So we all like different radio stations, and would find ourselves in this daily radio battle....

Pros: Compact size, button 'hold' feature.
Cons: Poor design, awkward volume button, upside down belt clip, embarrassing reception, clumsy battery cover.

I move around a lot. I walk to work, cycle, and work out at the local YMCA. So when it came time to retire my old walkman and pick up something more portable, I chose the Sony SRF-M80V Personal Radio. Sony's design is definitely compact, but that is the ...

Pros: Weather Band, Lock, Digital Tuning, Many presets
Cons: Not so great reception indoors, cube-mate borrows it to listen to TV soaps.

I really like this radio. I commute to work on my bike in Phoenix, Arizona, well rather I start in El Mirage, and go through Glendale, Peoria, and finish in Phoenix. 20.3 miles one way. El Mirage is out of town, great reception out there. I don't ...

Pros: Good reception; comfortable headphones; lock.
Cons: Controls are difficult to reach, strap difficult to use and slips....

I use this radio when running, but I'm very disappointed with this model. I bought it about 18 mont ...

Pros: Strong reception
Light weight
Easy to use
Cons: Volume can get bumped
Price

I have had my Sony since August 2002. It has accompanied me on countless runs. PROS Strong reception My experience with Sony is that their radios have strong reception, and this radio is no exception. While this is no Grundig, the ...

Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Poor reception, improperly placed buttons

I have started running and was interested in finding a small radio to bring on my runs. I tried thi ...

Pros: Compact size, ergonomic form, easy to use, armband included
Cons: Some controls (volume) cannot be "held", reception can be spotty, battery case opens unintentionally

I bought this radio primarily for use while walking and running, and in the application it has served me fairly well (at least well enough that I do not feel a need to replace it with another model). Let's start with the positives. You'll notice ...

Pros: Compact. Nice shape. Clear sound with more than a "one note" megabass.
Cons: Buttons hard to use without looking. Volume control easy to move accidently.

Drops in my shirt pocket when commuting or straps
on during workouts. This baby is a definite improvement
over my last walkman (Sony WM-FX271) which was quite
bulky (played cassettes). Lots of presets (18) and a
clock/stopwatch...

Pros: Small, easy to wear, easy to use
Cons: inconsistent performance and reception, cost, uncomfortable headphones

Sony -- it is a name everyone equates with top of the line electronics. After paying a hefty price tag of almost $50, I quite honestly expected better performance from this radio. The performance has been pretty inconsistent, with radio reception...

Pros: Light. Great reception. Easy to use. Locking mechanism. Water-resistant body.
Cons: Headphones...but what do you expect?

Purchased to replace a prior Sony device - a radio/cassette player - this radio was a revelation and a wonder to me. I use it when running, and it is great! True story: I set the radio up as soon as I got it home. I put the first preset on a jazz ...

Pros: Size, weight, style, sound, Mega Bass, stopwatch...
Cons: More color options would be nice

I purchased this radio a few days ago and haven't found a problem with it yet. The sound is truly am ...

Pros: Small, light, convenient.
Cons: High price, absurdly poor reception.

This is the second Sony Walkman product I have owned. The first was an analog device which I lost recently; and now this one, with a digital tuner. In both cases, I found the reception to be poor. The headphone cord seems to serve as part of the tuner ...

Pros: Lots of functions. Cool design.
Cons: Radio reception is fuzzy many times.

This is a great radio for anyone that needs wants a very small and portable radio. It comes with everything including headphones, belt clip and arm clip. It's designed especially for the active person and it's great for wearing when jogging or working...

Pros: Size, sound quality, ease of use
Cons: Volume position, arm band, cost

I recently purchased this to use for mowing the lawn, biking, jogging, etc. Overall I am happy with it. The arm band is a little different to get used to. I think I would have designed it a little differently with just an elastic velcro band.
