Amazon.com Product Description
The SRF-59 is lightweight, simple-to-use FM/AM stereo receiver. Weighing only 3 ounces (84 grams), this compact player is a perfect companion for the track, bike trail or work area. The FM antenna is part of the headphone cord, so you are sure to receive a strong signal. The AM antenna is a ferrite bar type. The local/distant switch will help you fine tune the reception. Both the volume and tuning buttons are rotary dials, providing a nice sight-free way to make major changes to the Walkman. Sony has included their MDR (micro dynamic receiver) headphones with the SRF-59. These headphones are open air type; the headphones will allow ambient noise to filter into the ear canal, providing a rich sound and keeping you safely aware of events, people and automobiles around you. The headphones provide ample dynamic range and sound. The Walkman requires only one AA battery, keeping the receiver lightweight and inexpensive to operate. When using a Sony alkaline battery, you can expect an impressive 100-140 hours of use. There is also a belt clip included, so you can carry the Walkman on your belt. The color is a sporty silver. What's in the Box
Sony SRF-59 Walkman FM stereo, Sony MDR open air headphones, belt clip, user's manual and a ninety day warranty.

 Great buy July 23, 2010
J. Sharp
Great radio for the price. Must use headphones. I'm still using the orginal ones and have had no problem with them in the few weeks I've owned the radio. The reception (Northern VA) and sound quality (for talk radio,anyway) are quite good and I think the radio is well worth the cost. It's lightweight but not cheap feeling or looking. Very happy with this purchase.
 Barely satisfactory July 20, 2010
V. Kiuhan (So Cal)
The reception for most stations is fair. The signal tends to get staticky (sp?) if you move around a lot or if you don't place the head phone wires in the "just right" location. I've gotten so annoyed by this that I'm actually looking to buy a different portable fm radio.
On the plus side, it only uses one AA battery and it lasts a long time (> 50 hours).
I gave it three stars instead of two because it was pretty cheap. I'd say for the price it was OK but since I listen to the radio while I work I've gotten tired of the spotty reception and static.
This thing really cooks July 16, 2010
friend of wally cleaver
This is one smokin' little radio. It outperforms my Superradio in its selectivity and sensitivity on AM. If you want to pick up a lot of AM DX, check this lil' guy out.
 Husband's Sidekick July 15, 2010

Purchased Sony Walkman for my husband for Father's Day as a replacement to the one he previously had "forever". His Walkman is his SIDEKICK. Whatever project he is doing, his Walkman is right there with him!! So, obviously, when his original one died - he was lost - like he lost his best friend. Since he received this replacement - "All is right in his world AGAIN!" He has been using it non-stop for about 1 month now and no complaints.
 Not good for outdoor use July 4, 2010

This is the third Sony personal headphone model that I have tried and this model has the same problem as the other two. Once any moisture gets into the jack for the headphones you lose sound in one ear piece first then in both. I just bought this model and used it for only TWO times. Perhaps is suitable for indoor use for people who don't perspire. For outdoor use its a piece of junk like the other two Sony models I have wasted my money on.
