Outstanding Little Radio!!!! by Earl N. Stopfel (USA)  5 Stars
November 03, 2009
Extrermely pleased with this radio. The sound quality for a radio this size is remakable. The size makes it the most useful companion and it has unbelievable reception even without the antenna fully extended. One of the best buys I have made.

AM/FM Radio that delivers way above its price by L. E. Taylor (Sacramento, CA United States)  4 Stars
November 02, 2009
I picked up one of these radios, not really expecting much because of the low price. I'm delighted to be able to say that the radio is far better than I expected. It's your basic AM/FM radio with a jack on the side for a mono earphone. Tuning is done via the old-style analog wheel, but there is an LED on the front which lights up when the signal strength is good. And good is an understatement. I easily listen to San Francisco stations here in Sacramento (90 miles) and the sound quality is just fine. Since the radio isn't digital, there are no station pre-sets or memory, but the tuning dial is pretty accurate, and I've not had any trouble finding my favorite stations. I'm going to purhase a couple of more of this radio. One will stay with the camping equipment, one in my emergency supplies, etc.
I wasn't expecting much for a $10 radio. This is one of those rare occasions where you get more than you paid for. Count me as a happy customer!

a good deal ..but has hi/low volume issues by vwbmw (MN, USA) 4 Stars
November 01, 2009
First, my reference situation: I've got a trusty decades-old no-name 4AA radio that's about 1" longer and wider that this 2AA Sony. My sturdy no-name has a robust mid-tones sound, with subtle gradations of audio clarity all the way from 1% to 95% volume. Since earbuds don't stay put for me and earbud cords get in the way of what I'm doing in the garden/yard/workshop or on a ladder, I rely on a speaker radio that fits in a shirt/jacket/toolbelt pocket. Outdoors, it needs to overcome ambient urban noise; alternatively, while tent camping or indoors at pillow time it needs to be very quiet (preferably almost subliminal!). I use it everywhere (MN public radio is tops!). But someday it will stop working, so I needed to find a decent low-cost backup, and am happy to have found the Sony ICF-S10MK2.
So relative to the above: I find the ICF-S10MK2 sound has a mid-treble tone, not so robust, but it projects well across hard surfaces/floors/etc. The case backside is also perforated, which interestingly makes the sound seem to project in all directions. OTOH, this also means the sound can't be directed away from someone nearby. The Volume Range has problems: it distorts badly beyond 70% volume, so I've yet to determine if it can overcome much outdoor noise when set a few feet away (rather than in a pocket). At the low end, there seems to be no output for the first 10% turn of volume dial, then only a single spot that may qualify as very quiet, but then jumps to a distinctly louder range up through 70%. This lack of volume gradations at the minimum end may make it somewhat unsatisfactory for bedtime use near-ear for whisper-quiet output.

I'm not sure that I have ever purchased anything that was a better value than this. For under ten bucks, you can't go wrong. The reception is excellent, tuning is accurate and sound quality is fantastic.
