Review on Sony SRF59SILVER Walkman Stereo Radio by Matthew Owens

I have two that I bought many years ago. I had the first one and liked it so much I bought another to keep in the car in case I forgot to pack it. I'm an avid sports fan and have season tickets to multiple sports at both the collegiate and pro levels. I like to play while I watch and this is the perfect radio. Yes it's old school but it's very solid and has a great sound for what I use it for. With analog tuning and a Local/DX switch I can tune in to many stations that digital radio can't even tune in to, and this is especially true in indoor stadiums where reception can be difficult. I like to always leave one earplug on while leaving the other ear plugged in to get the best of both worlds. I forgot it was there, it's so small and light. Fits easily in any shirt pocket and is durable enough to be carried in the heavy-duty denim pocket when a shirt doesn't have one. Soaked with rain and sweat, they fell into the sink and never missed. Both fell countless times. The only bad thing that happened to both of them is that the plastic tab holding the battery broke but I use a piece of tape to fix it with no problem. As others have said, the battery lasts surprisingly long. It's compatible with all types of headphones I've ever used with it. The included headset sounds great, I only need small headphones for the purposes I use this radio for. It's so small and discreet that it can be worn and unnoticed in many situations that would otherwise be out of place when there's a game I just can't miss! At that price I went ahead and bought another when I came across Revain as I haven't seen them in stores for years.
