Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony ICF-S10MK2 Pocket AM/FM Radio, Silver
Customer Review: GREAT AM AND FM RECEPTION--CLEAR EVEN NEAR MOUNTAINS!
Summary: 5 Stars
This radio picks up AM and FM stations and this is miracle as I live in a mountain area and Sony is the only brand of radio that does this. And what is even better, this radio picks up more AM AND FM stations (and longer range),than my old Radio Shack, Panasonic, etc radios. Mostly these only pick up FM. Since I love talk radio shows and they are on AM, I really appreciate this radio. The others I own are just sitting in a drawer! I rate this radio a 5 because:
1) Picks up AM even in the mountains.
2) Great sound for a small radio.
3) Small enough to carry in my purse or waistpack.
4) Looks great!
5) Price is so reasonable.
I own this Sony and also the Sony ICF-M410V (AM/FM/TV/WEATHER). I highly reccommend both. By the way, since this radio is a mono sound, I use a set of earbuds and can only hear in the left side, which is normal, but great when you are traveling and do not wish to disturb others.
Customer Review: Finally what I'm looking for.
Summary: 5 Stars
I listen to am radio a lot. In the car, at home, camping, and working in the yard. I've needed a good, cheap radio for the yard, garage and camping. I found this radio had excellent reviews (bordering on rave)and it's price was so low that I couldn't help but take a chance on it. I have with so many others that this was, at worst, one more brick in the wall. It lives up to all of my expectations. I live in Phoenix, AZ and I pull in Albuquerque, NM, San Fran and San Diego, CA stations with no problem. My home stereo can't do that. You can hang it on a fence post and hear it all the way across the yard or even other rooms in the house. Its very loud and clear for a small mono speaker. I know many of the people looking at this review are looking for the same thing I was and have been through the same search as I have and this little radio is the answer. It gets great am reception. I can't wait to take it camping.Customer Review: Nice little pocket radio at a pocket-change price
Summary: 5 Stars
After 2 years my $5 pocket radio finally 'bit the dust'; so I was looking for an inexpensive radio to tuck in my fanny pack when I went out to the garden to work in the summertime and also to while away the time while I shoveled the driveway in the winter.
While not able to find an affordable one at my local 'Mart' stores - I checked online and found the Sony ICF-S10Mk2 pocket AM/FM radio and, after reading the various reviews, ordered two of them (to save on shipping). Radio works fine on both the AM and FM stations I listen to, and the final price was about $12 each.
I use the radio almost every day and am still using the original 2 batteries that were inserted about three weeks ago; shipping was very prompt and actually arrived before time estimate given.
I found what I was looking for at a price I wanted to pay and I'm very pleased with my purchase!
Customer Review: Transistor Radio Reborn
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow...a quality transistor radio....except the transistors are located within an integrated circuit chip ! I had been looking for a good, old-fashioned am/fm radio that had good reception. I did not want digital..I did not want junk either. I just wanted a simple, good-quality, radio. It used to be that you could buy such a radio anywhere...but this is no longer the case. Most non-digital radios (if you can find them) are simply junk that have poor reception and sound. Most radios are digital, which is ok...but these tend to be fussy....you bump them and the station scan starts and one loses the station one was listening to. I wanted a radio I could put under my pillow and listen to late night talk radio shows....this one does the job...pulls in distant stations....is lightweight...simple to use...and is frugal with battery power (the battery lasts a long time!) I have bought several now, to share with family members.Customer Review: fantastic for the money
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been looking for a few months for an am/fm radio like this. I felt silly waiting so long and spending hours searching and reading reviews but it paid off. This radio not only gets my local stations, the only reason I really wanted it, but gets ones over 50 miles away with the antenna not even fully extended! If you are in the market for a tiny am/fm radio with decent sound, don't even hesitate, just get this one.
edit: it's just about 3 weeks later and I'm very disappointed in the battery performance. It's used less than 10 minutes a day and is already dead and yes they were fresh batteries. I have a no-name radio at work and it's on over 7 hours a day and the batteries last longer than this radio.

well the other batteries must have been duds because these are going strong and it's been a few months. I'm happy with the reception of my local AM station.
