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.

Much better than the old product.

I am so happy with this product. It is lightweight and only takes one battery. It has great sound and it is just a wonderful product.

What's the problem?

A lot of people seem to be complaining about the FM reception with this radio. I wonder if they've tried using something better than the supplied headphones. Since the headphone cord acts as the FM antenna for this radio, it's kind of critical. I have been using Sony Mdr-As20J's and Mdr As50G's...

Sony Walkman

After trying just about every alternative on the market, this sports walkman is by far the best. It has everything you could want in an inexpensive radio that is ideal for sports events and doing otherwise-tedious yard work. I'd definitely recommend this product.

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 program. Not user friendly at all and part of it the TV tuner...

Lightweight, but not as good as earlier Sony M80

I bought this to replace my earlier S2 Walkman. The previous one, model M80, was a bit heavier in weight and required two batteries (instead of one) but it had great radio reception and was easy to use. After four years I literally wore it out and was eager to get a new unit. The new M85V is...

Excellent product

I purchased this product for my family-in law who wanted to listen Chinese stations. First, I didn't consider this product because of price, instead I purchased a Coby manual tuner $9 radio, which only picked up some major FM stations, and I ended up returning to get a better one, which was this...

Long Lasting

Pros: long lasting Cons: headphone jack fails after a few years I bought this radio a year before I went to college and used it nearly every single day for 4 years. The sound quality was excellent and the reception was far better than other larger ra

A radio that doesn't pick up radio

I read the reviews online but my impression was Sony makes quality products so I tried it. I went to a local store to make the purchase (to make returns easier if the reviews turned out to be true). I knew it was worthless and being returned the day I bought it. I drove around in different parts...

Junk! Junk!! JUNK!!! My second one in series all suck.

Got this for Christmas. It did not last two months.This is actually the second one of these overpriced units I have owned and both have exactly the same problem. They are probably fine if you don't actually use them for what they advertise. First, the armband/belt clip is held on by two hollow...
