Great little radio, Oct 31 2005
By Douglas Ferguson "fergymunster" - Published on Amazon.com
This is a very good radio and better than my old Radio Shack brand that finally gave out.My old one mind you could only pick up a few stations clearly.Now with this new one I'm getting over 15 FM stations clearly some in Philly and some in New Jersey.I assume since I'm only 35 miles from Philly that would explain why I'm getting the outstanding reception.The AM is great as well as it comes in very clear.There are also a few features that come in handy.One is that you can set the radio to turn off automatically after a set time.Also has bass boost and a digital clock.I leave it on the DX mode because if it's on the local setting the stations will sometimes have static.Also you will be surprised at how tiny and compact it is making it easy to carry around.It's also very convenient to jog through the preset stations while on the go and it also has a lock mode for when you what just one station set.Now the important news.The provided headphones are useless.This is probably why other reviewers could not get good reception.Frankly,I got no reception at all when I pluged them in because the FM antenna is in the headphone wire.Not only that but the ear buds don't even fit in your ears.What I got instead are the Sennheisers PX-100 portable headphones and now I'm getting outstanding reception from them as well as great sound quality.So if you order the sony radio make sure you get some portable headphones too.

An Unexpected, Shockingly Poor Sony Product!, Sep 5 2005
By Details Devil "Details Devil" - Published on Amazon.com
As an owner of two previous high end Sony Walk-FM products,I was looking forward to this highly touted and hard-to-find item.
Disappointment and disbelief were my rewards: poor signal-to-noise,
poor rejection of neighboring stations, significant multipath deflection,
poor general sound quality, poorly functioning ear buds in an
attractive, tiny package.
Don't even consider the SRF-M97!!!

Best little speakerless radio EVER, July 15 2006
By B. Chandler - Published on Amazon.com
I've spent a week with this little jewel and, after playing with the programming mode, finally got the hang of entering preset stations. The manual doesn't do a capable enough job of explaining how to do it. Once you get the jist of it, though, it's pretty easy. The sound is incredible, the reception is very good, the size is amazing, and the battery life is very impressive. ONE AAA lasts for quite a while, and, the little symbol that tells you "battery wear" is quite ingenious!! This little companion is one of the best radios I've ever owned. I've just ordered TWO more, just in case. The little earbuds that come standard with the set do a very capable job. One COULD upgrade and, perhaps, get better sound, but, not really needed. I do a lot of brisk walking, and, this is the perfect companion for being on the road. This would also be a great "companion" at ballgames. The small size is amazing and the performance is tops. It's no wonder that a lot of the websites that carry this item show that it's out of stock. Get it. It's a great radio. By the way, the mega bass switch is extremely impressive. The BIG sound of this set for such a small unit is unbelievable. I LOVE this radio!!!!
