Sony ICF-S10MK2 Personal Analog Grey - radios (AA, Personal, Analog, AM, FM, 87.5-108 MHz, 530-1605 kHz)

I bought this for use at our cottage when the power goes out but have used it at the beach and out in the yard at home. The sound is fine for a small radio, the reception is good even in the mountains and the batteries last a long time. It is also light and small enough to pack even in a large purse or small tote or suitcase.

J'avais déjà acheté ce poste il y a environ 15 ans, il commençait à donner des signes de faiblesse de fixation de l' antenne. J'ai voulu racheter le même qui me donnait toute satisfaction pour mes déplacements. Pas trop simple de régler les fréquences (sans doute à cause de la petite taille), mais très bonne réception, et son parfait. Donc très satisfait.

After reading 300+ reviews on Amazon. Com I decided to buy this amazing radio as I am a radio lover . currently I have 5 radio device but this radio has left behind all my previous radio. My pros and cons are:- Pros 2) Excellent reception quality no distortion while travelling through bike. 2) 2AA batteries required as I can use rechargeable batteries currently using 2800mah rechargeable batteries playing non stop 24 hrs daily. 3) very light weight. Cons:- 1) costly as this imported radio 2) plastic is little flimsy but ok with it but needs extra care as I spend 1500 for this radio. 3) sound output is good not excellent as increasing volume may cause distortion. Overall GOOD SHOPPING EXPERIENCE WITH AMAZON Must buy for those persons who love listening Radio as I do!!!!

We bought this little radio for someone who had to be in hospital for a fairly long time and it proved to be ideal. It isn't stereo which would be an instant no-no for some avid radio fans but for our purposes it was a really good buy. It's a resilient little thing having been accidentally knocked off an over-bed table several times by accident. It was used practically all day every day and the batteries seemed to have a pretty long life. It's size and small weight meant it was easy to be carried around in a wheelchair, or in a large pocket and the old-fashioned dials for volume and tuning were sturdy and easy to handle for someone with a disability and frail hands. Like in the old days there could be a bit of fiddling to get it in the right physical position to have it tuned in perfectly but after a fair bit of rough handling, dropping, having things spilled on it...it still goes strong. It was a bargain for us in our circumstances. The only slight, but very slight, downside was that sometimes the volume would either be completely off or when you moved the dial it would only be really loud. But this may have been with the unusual amount of wear and tear it had. It worked well indoors and outdoors and was absolutely reliable during months and months of a hospital stay and is still going strong.

Auch im Zeitalter von Internet-Radio & Co. ist so ein kleiner Radio-Empfänger praktisch. Man darf natürlich kein High End-Gerät erwarten. Der Empfang ist gut bis sehr gut, je nach Sendestärke der empfangenen Radiostation. Das Einstellrad für die Sender lässt sich gut verstellen, ohne dass man mit einer Berührung den Sender verliert. (Also fest, aber nicht ZU fest) Am Design gibts nichts zu meckern. Obwohl ich nicht verstehe, warum die Empfangs-LED nicht gleichzeitig als Skalen-Beleuchtung Verwendung findet. Aber das nur am Rande. Die Lautstärke wird erst bei Maximal-Einstellung unangenehm scheppernd, was sich bei abnehmender Batteriespannung relativiert. Aprópos Batterien, mit einem Satz Discounter-Batterien läuft der Empfänger jetzt schon eine Woche lang täglich etwa vier Stunden, also etwa dreißig Stunden ohne Ermüdungs-Erscheinungen. Fazit: Ein preiswertes, stylisches und sparsames Radio-Gerät für unterwegs und für die Beschallung von Räumen, wo eine Anlage kaum Sinn macht.
