Sony S2 Sports Walkman SRF-M85V Personal radio

Not everyone wants to listen to a CD or MP3 compilation when exercising, which is where this Sony S2 Sports Walkman armband radio comes into play. Equipped with a slim, lightweight body and a digital tuner that picks up not only AM and FM stations but also local VHF TV channels (2 to 13) and weather stations, the radio offers a great way to listen to your preferred public radio show, catch the local baseball broadcast, and jog to your favorite DJ's rhythms while running, skating, or working out at the gym. The device also features 30 station presets that make it easy to switch from one program to another, letting you choose among five TV, five weather, 15 FM, and five AM radio presets. And because of its compact housing and minimal weight, most listeners will barely notice the radio while running or cycling--a major advantage over bulky portable CD players. The Walkman is more than just a radio, however. Both athletes in training and casual users who are working themselves into shape will welcome the stopwatch and split and pitch timer, which records split times with the press of a button. The added functions make the device a valuable companion while running, sailing, and pursuing other time-sensitive activities, while also reducing the amount of equipment you need to bring along. The Walkman also features convenient up/down controls and an angled LED display, so workout kings and queens can easily decipher information while they're on the run. And unlike many portable radios, the S2 Walkman prioritizes audio performance by employing Sony's Mega Bass Sound System, which boosts the bass tones to create a richer, fuller overall sound. The Walkman comes with both an armband and a belt clip for hands-free use, along with a set of sports headphones. It also carries a one-year parts warranty.

4/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jan-19-2009; What's the problem?; A lot of people seem to be complaining about the FM reception with this radio.

1/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Dec-23-2008; Sony should be ashamed for this product; This armband radio is very poor quality and Sony should be ashamed of itself for putting a product like this on the market to carry it's name. The FM Tuner is terrible and can barely pickup local FM stations. Noisey hard to tune and...; read full review | report as inappropriate
