Digital camera reviews of Sony SRF-M37V FM/AM/Weather/TV Radio Walkman with 25 Memory Presets
Digital camera Review: Excellent little radio!
Summary: 4 Stars
This radio is very small and easy to clip on to your belt or clothes. I am able to receive FM,AM,TV and Weather perfectly! The quality of sound is outstanding and it has more than enough preset buttons. Highly recommended!
Update 7-21-10: Unfortunately since TV went digital, the TV portion of this radio doesn't work anymore!
Digital camera Review: Excellent sturdy and portable radio
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this radio 4 months ago from Amazon.com for 28.49, no shipping or tax. I wanted it for riding city buses and drowning out loud conversations. Unfortunately it does not work well on a bus. It gets a lot of static and keeps losing the strong signal.
However, I found that for walking around the neighborhood, lying in bed, and exercising at home (I do laps around the apartment) it is great. The reception and fidelity is truly excellent. I always drop theses little devices when I first get them and it survived about 10 drops from my pocket or belt with no apparent damage. It is so small in size that I usually put it in a pocket and it does not annoy me at all.
The headphone (Sony MDR-027 Walkman) also surprised me with its fidelity and comfort. Except for the low bass, it is nearly the equal of my Sony MDR-V300 Studio Monitor headphones. I am a pretty critical listener and I am able to hear inner voices with both these headphones which I never heard before. One deficiency in the supplied headphones is that the cloth pads fall off easily. I lost one and replaced it with an unpaired sock and now I look like Vincent Van Gough. But it is comfortable.
This radio was a great deal and I am very pleased with it.
Update in 2005 June (8 months later): I am still very pleased with this radio. It would be nice to have a backlight so that you could read the display in the dark, but I always have a flashlight with me so this is not a real problem. I think it is reasonable to do without the backlight to keep the price so low.
Digital camera Review: Fast Forward to Past !!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Why a radio? Having continuously hearing mp3 of my legends of 60s, 70s, 80s, (clock stops here), was getting dangerous as these gems (because of overdose) were becoming corn flakes. This was scary. Also felt this was making me insular, trapped in my own world, will listen what I want, when I want.
So returned to a radio. I am back with the outside world, with this 20$ piece of gadget. I use it for run, treadmill, steppers, in office.
The radio is made well, looks sturdy, clean, unobtrusive. Reception is well. Volume is loud. Only if could have a little more bass.
I had added Sony in-the-ear ear plugs that have added the bass. Happy. Fast forward to past.
I love the occasional static, FM fade outs, memories of the school in 60s, clinging to a transistor radio. Anil,
Digital camera Review: For my Wife and It is great!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this so my wife would have something to listen to while she is walking. It picks up better than most of the radios I have in my house. It picks up and tunes stations better than my Car radios. I really like this little thing. It is very lightweight and has weather information channels as well as a great price for such a good versatile radio.Digital camera Review: For the non ipod owners
Summary: 4 Stars
For the money, this little walkman is worth it. My gym is in the bottom floor of a condominium so the reception is not very good, but once outside it improves. It serves it's purpose.
