Digital camera reviews of Sony SRF-M97 Radio Walkman
Digital camera Review: Maybe the best walkman I have owned.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using walkman type radios since 9/11 almost daily for up to 5 hrs. I listen to talk radio and music. This is the smallest model I have had, and one of the best, if not the best. It fits easily in my pocket, and I can change stations/bands without removing it. The reception is very good, certainly in the top 2 of the radios I have used. I work in a building surrounded by metal cases, and it can be hard to pick up stations. This radio does the job, although one of my favorite stations sometimes fades a little when I turn in certain directions. It took me about 5 min to figure out how to add/change stations, but once I got it, it was very simple. Just press the wheel to change bands, and jog the wheel to change stations. Battery life is very good. It takes 1 AAA battery, and I am going on day 15 with an average of 4+ hrs a day.The only minor point, (besides the minor reception issue), is that the volume wheel is next to the headphone connection, and a little hard for my large fingers to adjust. I am thinking about buying another and putting it away in case it's not available when this one wears out ~ RonDigital camera Review: Works Well
Summary: 4 Stars
Definitely a small radio with a good signal. It doesn't work well at my gym but I don't think any radio would. My only complaint is the time displays on when it is off. Seems like a waist of battery.Digital camera Review: Great walkman
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great walkman. I only gave it four stars though because there has been times in the fm station has got a little fuzzy. But more often than not it plays great. It's easy to learn how to set your channel and also has a timer for 30,60, or 90 minute turn off. Would buy again.Digital camera Review: good value
Summary: 4 Stars
Product performance is very good, does the job and sound quality is satisfying. Pretty easy to operate and I like it much better than the more expensive Sony sports walkman.Digital camera Review: Perhaps not appropriate for this purpose
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this item specifically for use in the gym while doing lengthy step machine excercises. I wanted something to divert my attention away from the long boring workout and thus wanted to be able to tune into a talk show of some sort preferably on an AM band. Unfortunately, in the gym while on the step machine, the radio seems unable to bring in an AM station. It barely brings in a few FM stations. I have kept the item for the limited value it provides me, however, I am not satisfied with its performance in the gym environment. Perhaps with all the mechanical and electrical equipment in a gym, there is not a product appropriate for this use.
