SonySRF-M37W Walkman Digital Tuning Weather/FM/AM Stereo Radio (Black)

Use this during night for radio and like pre set channel selection for am and fm. Was great to find another Walkman when mine finally died! Vendor was awesome

Dropped my first one that I had for many years, while walking along the surf on the beach. Didn't know I had dropped it when putting it back into my fanny pack. After about a quarter mile later, I realized it had not gone into Mt bag but had been dropped in the surf, I walked back to try & find it but it was nowhere to be found. Probably got washed out into the ocean. Don't know if it would have worked after falling into water anyway. But I ordered a new one online, was so glad to see they still sold them. I had bought my first one in the store. Then found the exact same radio online but was about double the cost of the original one I had. But I had the first one about 15 years. And it was so good, it still played like brand new. So after I got the 2nd one, it is exactly the same one I had lost. I used my old headphones with it because the one that came with the one I ordered had earphone covers that had dry rotted in the package. The foam material just crumbled into pieces. But the headphones were ok, just didn't have good ear covers. Can't find just the foam ear covers so the headphones can't be used since they hurt your ears without the covers. So I just used my old headphones with the radio & it works just fine. The radio is very good quality as my first one was playing like new when I lost it after 15 years. So I hope this new one lasts just as long. I would definitely recommend buying the Sony Walkman. It is small & easy to carry & store. It plays very well with exceptional reception if area stations. It has the weatherband station as well for up -to -date weather news. I was not excited about paying $250 for the new one but since it is such a good radio, I am sure I will get my money's worth out of it. Was disappointed about the headphones being stored so long that the speakers ear covers were dry rotted, but so glad I had the good headphones from my old radio to use. It has very high volume & good quality headphones cord. And the headphones are adjustable for head size. Came well packaged in original plastic container & was a never used radio - new. Except that it is a very outdated electronic device & had been stored for many years I am sure & that is why the headphones ear covers were old & dried up. But shipment & delivery time were excellent & I am well pleased to have the original Sony Walkman again.

I received my.Radio early it was before the delivery day

I've 3 of these radios, one in my gym bag, one in my car so that I can listen to AM if out eating by myself and a third as a spare. I learned my lesson on this. Some years back, Radio Shack under their Optimus brand made the finest little AM/FM radios. In particular what they offered was the ability to preset stations, and just as in your automobile you could push a single button to call up the station that you wished.Additionally what made these pocket radios(and yes they were true pocket size) was that they had speakers, therefore you were not forced to wear earbuds when listening. You were able to clip the radio to your belt or carry it in your hand or lay it on a countertop or your desk(try this with earbuds) as you went about your daily routines. I've always suspected that postal workers on their daily rounds were keen fans of these pocket radios.I had purchased some 4 or 5 of these radios(Optimus actually had 2 similar designs but different models over the years), but over a period of years and much abuse they were all eventually broken,,,and then I could no longer get another as for some reason Radio Shack no longer offered them and Optimus no longer manufactured them.I was then forced to buy pocket radios without this "preset digital capability" and could only obtain those with the very primitive "preset" with the so called "scan" "feature" where you had to scan thru all your presets to select another station that you wished to listen to. To my knowledge no one has ever built such a radio since,,,,except in China, but they only function properly on Chinese standards for radio stations,,,,each station is 9 numbers apart and instead of the USA standard of 10,,,I think that the way it works.Sony addresses the tuning issue with this fine little radio with their presets,,,but alas no speaker so when out walking your dog or just slepping around the house or working in the garage, you must use earbuds which are of course uncomfortable if worn for long periods.In this day of 50 different smart phone models, 40 different MP3 players etc. you would think that one manufacturer would build a small high quality radio with both the correct preset capability and a speaker. I guess no one listens to radio anymore and so they feel there is no market. I would think that some major radio broadcaster would design such a radio,,,,perhaps more people would listen to it again.Yes,,,,I've the Sangean type radios with speakers,,,but again the "scan" thru to the next station is beyond my understanding of "why bother" when with just a bit of ingenuity they could do what Optimus was able to do in the 1980's or early 1990's.How about you Sony,,,,create a slightly larger version of your neat little radio with a speaker,,,,,it is evident that your current radio is a good seller as you've been selling it for many years,,,,perhaps an added speaker would sell many more. With a built in speaker, your radio would deserve a strong 5 stars and I would pay double the price as you currently sell your current product for.And of course C. Crain,,,,where have you been? C. Crain does sell a clever little radio with recording capability. They sell it for about a 150.00 which is expensive,,,,but it does not have push button tuning support even at this price. If it did, I would consider buying it.
