| ♥♥♥♥♥ | The best radio Walkman you can buy |
| I just bought my second version of this product after seven years of constant and quality service from my first radio, which finally gave out only two weeks ago not from any kind of shock, but a mysterious problem with the AM antenna I couldn't fix no matter what I tried. But for a Walkman in my experience, seven years is a long time.
Considering what's happened as far as portable audio since 2001, that I'm still using this product is a small miracle. I have an iPhone and an iPod, and I no longer have a need for the heft of a tape player or any need for a CD player. Yet I still carry this around, because; A I still listen to AM radio all the time and I still enjoy the thrill of tuning in a station from Denver, Boston, Richmond, or Halifax on the shores of Lake Michigan. No iPod product can currently tune in AM radio and it would take an engineering miracle to create one for the iPhone. Better that I do it with a radio like this than some bulky $40 model or a $5 cheapo unit. A I have the iPod's Radio Remote, but the range seems to be limited most of the time to forty miles. I haven't been able to find the sweet spot for listening to FM radio clearly from Green Bay or Milwaukee on the iPod. This Walkman doesn't have that problem and recieves all the signals as clearly as possible. A It's nice (well, until next year when the FCC tells everyone to 'shut down that analog signal') to be able to listen to a TV show or breaking news if you don't have a TV near you. Sometimes my local radio station no matter what won't interuppt their regular programming to bring us news coverage, so to be able to have an alternative to them is always nice. A Weather radio is the feature I now look for in any radio I buy. They don't have it, I don't buy it. Sony was way ahead of the curve years back adding NOAA Weather Radio to most of their Walkman radios, and though there's no alert availability this radio has kept me informed as to the weather when my cell phone hasn't worked, the commercial radio station's news department is asleep, or I'm in a situation where the information is critical. A The size has to be the biggest factor when it comes to why I bought this. Portable radios usually are larger than iPods (especially if they have a cassette player), and I can't have so many devices in my pockets. This radio is light and easy to carry, and the belt clip actually clips. A The other Walkmans I used in the past had all these complicated bass boosts and signal filtering options that really, I never used because all they did was muffle the sound. This doesn't have any of that, the signals come in clearly, and the volume goes up to a nice level where 60% is enough to hear a station well. A good radio like this should play well and not need any embellishments, and it does it well. My only quibble is that there's only five AM presets, but I understand that. If you're an AM listener or just want a dependable portable radio, you want to buy this one, because there's no equal to it. RDS would be nice also, but for now not many stations have it, so for now it's fine. |
