Review on πŸ“» Sony SRF-M80V S2 Sports Walkman Arm Band Radio: FM/AM, TV, Weather Channels (Discontinued) by Jesse Jewett

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Bad workmanship and bad design

I already had several small Sony sports radios. I use them for running and weightlifting. This is by far the worst series of all time. Quality: 1. In less than 6 months, one of the tiny metal battery connectors fell out and got lost when changing the battery. Previous similar products lasted several years.2. While sound quality was acceptable, the antenna is noticeably directional and less powerful than Sony's slightly larger and elongated devices. Design: 1. Sports radios must have a clear display and buttons and knobs that can be reached while running, etc. The volume control is too sensitive, and the tiny buttons with tiny numbers and symbols are not easy to reach while running. The device has enough space for large handles. Also, only a small portion of the LCD screen is used - what were they thinking? Reading glasses are not required for use! In summary, this device is an example of bad ergonomics and low quality - don't buy it!

Pros
  • Dope πŸ”₯
Cons
  • Without automatic

Came without armband. Armbands aren't very transferable between Walkmen. Useless.
