Review on 🎧 Sony SRF-M37W Walkman: Digital Tuning Weather/FM/AM Stereo Radio in Black - Get the Best of Both Worlds! by Mike Bonilla

The Sony SRF-M37W is tiny and feature-packed for what it is. What impresses me the most is the weatherband reception, although the headphone cable is used as an antenna. I caught four out of seven NOAA broadcasts and live in a rural area. It's better than many of the scanners I have. Sensitivity is good on AM and FM but selectivity is pretty low, I wouldn't recommend this for city dwellers who want to listen to low power FM stations alongside stronger ones, the same goes for AM. The fidelity is acceptable with a good set of headphones but may be disappointing for some as the equalization is so flat making listening to sports and radio very enjoyable. I didn't detect any digital hash on AM that digitally tuned radios sometimes produce, and the audio amplifier is very clean with no noticeable background hiss. A rechargeable AAA battery seems to last forever in the SRF-M37W, so 4 packs of alkaline batteries should keep the most active user going for a year. One thing that annoys me is the beep to confirm the button press. I could understand the logic behind having it on the memory and range buttons, but putting it on the up/down tuning buttons is downright stupid. Luckily it's not very loud. If you are looking for a good portable digital AM/FM radio with NOAA reception, the SRF-M37W is a good choice. Although it achieves the quality of Sony's "Walkman", it falls short of the full precision of years ago. Don't be fooled by other more expensive AM/FM portable radios. The SRF-M37W outperforms my Sangean DT-200X and costs less.
