Review: On receiving the radio, was disappointed to find that the foam covering the supplied headphones just fell apart after just wearing them for a matter of hours. I would have thought, considering that the radio was quite expensive the headphones would be of the same standard.
Review: Habe den Radio täglich 2 Stunden beim Walken im Gebrauch, mußte bisher noch nicht die Batterie wechseln. Der Empfang ist sehr gut! Einzig die Kopfhörer habe ich gewechselt weil ich lieber INEAR Hörer benutze! Werein einfaches Radio zum Walken oder Joggen möchte ist mit diesem wirklich gut bedient!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it have an LED light to change channels in the dark?**
A: No it does not have a light. But it is the best Walkman out there.

**Q: does this play cassettes**
A: No it doesn't.  Sony has labelled this "Walkman", but the name is a general term for Sony consumer product that are portable.  This SRF59 is an earbuds/headphone only AM/FM stereo receiver.

**Q: I live in a rural area. What about FM reception?**
A: FM reception depends on tower locations in a rural area.  My husband says AM talk radio holds a better reception from building to building compared to FM reception. But in the open fields reception for both is about the same depending on radio towers in your area.  I've been purchasing 2 sony walkmans a year for my husband these past 15 Christmases and he uses the radio everyday (10- 12 hrs daily) 7 days a week 365 days a year.  It takes a licking & keeps on sounding Awesome!  Enjoy!

**Q: Do you have to use headphones to listen .Can you just put it on a desk**
A: You can only use radio with headphones, but the headphones work really well, loud n clear.

*by G***I on 21 February 2013*

I love this little radio - small, compact, takes only one AA battery and is long-lasting - reception is clear and works pretty much everywhere except tunnels (I listen to AM radio) - it's size is a little bit bigger than a flip cell phone. Fits in breast pocket, the clip is very secure and can clip to belt, bag, anywhere. Headphones are the kind I like and came in handy didn't need to buy separately. Of course, always great shipping with Amazon.
