 Sony Pocket Radio August 14, 2008
I am very pleased with this personal radio. It is lightweight, takes up little space, has good sound, good reception and a good price. Hang it up on a nail, swing it from your wrist or even put it in a pocket. It is a nice change from using ear buds, something old that is new again.
Sony ICF-S10MK2 Pocket AM/FM Radio August 12, 2008
All I wanted was a simple cheap AM radio so that I could sit outside my house and listen to the ballgame on a summer evening. What a production!!! I went to several brick and mortar retailers and, honest to God, most of the sales help had no idea what I was even talking about and wanted to sell me everything from clock radios to gigantic boomboxes. Finally I went online and checked Amazon and, voila, a 10 dollar transistor radio straight out of my youth. Problem solved. Easy to use, great sound for what it is, and, better yet, exactly what I wanted.
Great Little Radio August 12, 2008
First of all, I really like this radio. It gives me everything that I could ever ask for from a pocket radio. When I bought it, I had a hard time deciding between this Sony and the Panasonic RF-P50, so I eventually just bought them both. I'm guessing that I'm not the only person who found themselves trying to make that particular decision, so I'll go ahead and do a side-by-side comparison.
They are both basically the same size. In your hand, the Sony feels like it's a bit bigger, but they're the same size. The Sony feels slightly heavier, but there's no big difference between the two.
As far as their sound, the Sony has more high end, and it sounds brighter, in a good way. The Panasonic sounds warmer without that extra bit of high end. Both sound good, and I think that anyone would be happy with either.
The Panasonic has a wider tuning dial, so it seems a bit easier to do fine tuning on it, as opposed to the Sony's more narrow dial, but it's not like that's really a problem.
The Sony definitely has more sensitive reception. It picks up distant stations noticeably better than the Panasonic. The Panasonic is perfectly fine with local stations, but the Sony is far superior when trying to tune in weaker signals. I was actually amazed with the Sony's superiority when I did a side-by-side comparison. The Panasonic isn't terrible, but the Sony has amazingly good sensitivity.
Those are the main differences, as far as I can tell. Both have a red tuning light. Both feel like they are solidly built. They both have the same kind of wrist strap and antenna, and they are both well worth the money.
Personally, I much prefer the look and feel of the Panasonic, but the superior reception sensitivity of the Sony is a big deal to me. It all depends on how you're gonna use it and what you want.
GREAT PRICE-GREAT RADIO August 11, 2008
This is the BEST transistor radio I have owned and you cannot beat this low price! I have paid $60 for a Radio Shack radio a few years ago and the reception was o.k. at best. You cannot go wrong with this SONY radio..buy it..you won't be sorry!!
