Pros

Sony radio walkman is an essential travel companion. The single aaa battery lasts for ages. It weighs next to nothing and has a good clip for attaching to clothing. It's very light and has an extremely long battery life.

Small with good bass. Comfortable fit. Sound quality is actually surprisingly good for such a small and light unit using my senheisser cx 475 earphones, good battery life and easy tuning.

Reception is far-far better than any mobile phone or mp3 fm radio app. Very sensitive on fm and works well on am considering its small ferrite rod aerial. Only criticism is that the fm tuner is less sensitive than i would like.

Cons

The connection with the headphones seems to cause intermittent reception. However, it is the fm reception that really killed it for me. There was a faint 'fuzzy noise' in the background on all the channels.

This radio is tiny and only needs one aaa battery which lasts ages.

I've had it for a year now and it has never failed me.

Price has doubled since the last time we purchased but still worth it.

Expensive since my last purchase but excellent quality, i guess you get what you pay for .

Fantastic, crystal clear sound even though its only the size of a match box.

Megabass could be better but that's being picky.
