Review on Compact and Portable Sony ICF-P36 AM/FM πŸ“» Radio - Sleek Black Design for On-The-Go Entertainment by Quartreal Eagleman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great radio - portable audio and video

I've read several reviews of different similar sized radios. I really wanted a small radio to listen to talk radio and music at work. I wanted something that would sit on my desk and not take up too much space. When I saw the dimensions of this radio I was initially concerned that it was small and the sound quality would suffer. I am very surprised and very happy with this radio. The sound quality is very good. Music and conversations sound very clear, not "tinny" like some small radios can sound. Judging its size by sound quality alone, one would assume this radio is larger. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't look like a big radio with speakers, but it sounds really good. It picks up FM and AM signals well, which was surprising as I was expecting a lot of trouble connecting my transmitters because the building I'm using it in is kind of a dead zone when it comes to radio waves. It pulls FM and AM stations very well and they sound clear. My colleague has a much larger radio with a larger antenna, and this smaller radio seems to have better reception than her digital tuner radio. The design is well suited for a desk. I can easily hold it with one hand and tune in stations because the dial is on top. I highly recommend this radio. This is my second Sony radio of this type. This and my first Sony have met and exceeded my expectations. I would have no hesitation in recommending this radio and knowing that others will have the same positive experience.
