Review on 🎧 Sony SRFHM55 Sports Walkman: High-Performance AM/FM Stereo Headphone Radio by Darius Slater

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Vintage, hard to find.

THANKS TO THE PERSON WHO SOLD THIS TO ME. Time for history! My dad had (read, had) the original Sony SRFHM55 when it came out many, many years ago. Due to the wear and tear of being worn to every football game and sporting event that allowed FM radio broadcasts, it broke at a football game last year and sulked for the rest of the game. He loved his headset and there is nothing like it on the market. It's all about the headphones, and he's not a fan of headphones. So I scoured the web looking for the exact same headset because I was so horrified to see my dad sad over the loss of his radio (he's in his 50s). I've looked on ebay and other sites but haven't found anything. I checked out Revain and there the headset is in good condition, as is the one that broke. I quickly hit the buy button, happy to surprise my dad with the same set of headphones he always used. Only thing was there were no ear pads but dad was fine with that, he just pulled the foam rubber off the broken earpiece. The joy on his face and in his eyes was worth the cost of his vintage headset. Thank you to the seller for kindly selling your headset on Revain. I'm happy. So far he has used it several times over the past few months.
