Digital camera reviews of Sony ICF-S10MK2 Pocket AM/FM Radio, Silver
Digital camera Review: Cheap, Overrated. This is a Sony?
Summary: 2 Stars
As an avid pocket radio listener, I bought one of these Sonys a few years ago and it lasted about a year before it developed serious issues with the volume control. Crackling noises, the sound cutting in and out, not being able to get it to play on a low volume setting.....ie, it was either blaringingly loud (usually with crackling noises and sudden volume bursts etc..) or nothing at all. So over the last few years, I've bought other pocket radios searching for a great radio that would last a few years. Sadly, I've had little luck finding such a radio, despite having bought some "good ones" at Radio Sh%^ for a LOT more than this one, and some "cheapies" here and there. So, getting very frustrated and while doing research here on Amazon, I came across this one again, and with all of the great reviews, I thought I'd give it another chance. "Maybe I dropped the last one a time or two too many", I figured. "And for $10, if I get another year out of it, it would have been worth it." Well, it lasted less than ONE MONTH this time. It was great UNTIL suddenly the speaker didn't work anymore. I'm not sure why, but it "broke" shortly after I used it with an earpiece plug-in. I used my Nokia (phone) hands-free headset with an adaptor to fit the standard jack in this Sony pocket radio...and it worked fine for the first day or two. Then, all of the sudden, there was no sound coming from the external speaker. I don't know how or why this happened, but something is now amiss. It would seem that the jack has been "damaged" by the headset plug / adaptor and somehow, this renders this speaker dead. But why, and how? There was, as far as I know, no reason that this happened. And with the external speaker not working, this radio is nearly useless to me now and I am sending it back to Amazon. So, two of these for me, and both unsatisfactory. When it works, it's GREAT. Very clear signal. Nicely built, SEEMS solid. But watch out. Pocket radios are SUPPOSED to be rugged and should be long-lasting. This one has been anything but for me.
