Poor design of compact radios and stereos

We've had a lot of the previous Sony ICF-S79W (weather and weather models). The new design is shorter, bulkier and harder to lift and move, ESPECIALLY when slightly damp from shower mist. It's edgier and edgier and doesn't fit the hand at all. The greatest claim to sound quality, REALLY IRON speakers. We played both models side by side for testing and the difference is VERY noticeable. All in all, this is a bad redesign and a redesign for no apparent reason. And I'm sure next time for $80 we…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Good but not as good as the previous Sony product.

Very good product although we had the previous model and the sound quality of this one is not very good, model Sony ICFS79W. The price of this model has almost doubled. It sounds a bit tinny in comparison, and this model also lacks weather range. However, the build quality is very good and it is definitely splashproof. Consider the Sangean H201A or H202A, H201A and the sound quality is very good but it's much larger and not very easy to place in the shower. The Sony unit is very easy to attach…

Pros
  • Many positive emotions

Fantastic shower radio

Was looking for an AM/FM shower radio and found almost nobody makes it anymore. It seems everyone only sells waterproof Bluetooth speakers. Found this old stock at Revain still brand new in the box and decided to give it a try. This is a great shower radio from Sony. Small size with digital LCD display showing radio station and time of day. The sound is very good (especially for a single speaker radio) and it picks up all the usual stations I normally listen to. There's also an adjustable timer

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Not sure

Do not purchase this radio if you intend to use it in North America

I have had this radio for many years and love it. I recently decided to buy for my wife. I ordered it through Revain but it actually came from a source they contracted with. When it arrived I started programming the radio frequencies I wanted, just like I did with my radio. It worked fine for FM, but I found it couldn't select the AM frequencies I needed. It is understood that the radio can be tuned to either a 9 kHz interval (used in Europe and Asia) or a 10 kHz interval (used in America). The

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Clarity

WARNING: great radio but you must read the special insert for US use

UPDATED: This is a great shower radio, a bit overpriced but I think it's the best on the market. Я снял одну звезду из-за некоторой путаницы, связанной с евроцентричным маркетингом Sony (поясняется ниже) — это очень странно для меня, учитывая, что я готов поспорить, что США — более крупный рынок для этого продукта, чем вся еврозона (возможно, Я you are wrong). The fact is that the radio's "standard" tuning is tuned to Eurozone radio frequencies, making it a "brick" incapable of tuning to US AM…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions

the timer ends with an alarm waking anyone who is still asleep

This will be my third Sony shower radio in 10-15 years. Easy setup. A rubber strap is more hygienic than a "rope" strap, which gets wet and collects germs. The worst part of this new iteration, however, is a simple timer that played my radio in the shower for, say, 10 minutes while I showered, shaved, got dressed, etc. (yes, I'm a simple guy going to work goes). The radio used to just go on in the shower, like a simple repeat radio or podcast going on. But no! Now this radio will turn on the…

Pros
  • Great sound, loud enough for a shower
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
