Sony SRF-M73 Sports Walkman AM/FM Stereo with Mega Bass Review

This product exemplifies the decline of Sony quality. Unless they redesigned this model since I bought one in December 2000, it is not an armband radio.It only has a strap suitable for hanging on something, or wrapping around your wrist.It does have a belt clip. To release the clip manually, you push on the tab. To release it automatically, you put it on your belt. Unfortunately, the automatic release feature occurs when you least expect it, usually when standing over some hard surface like concrete or a glass table top. The best way I have found to carry the unit usually is to put it in my pocket.Definitely not recommended for sports!The tuning and reception are very poor indeed, with station bleed through, regardless of inside or outside location.Setting the digital to 98.7 yields 103FM usually. That does not happen with any other of my radios at home. There are switches on the back for Mega Bass and FM Sensitivity.These are cheap switches which never fully "click" into place, requiring constant fiddling that results in shorting static.
There are some good features, like the locking feature, which either locks the station setting or power off.This is necessary because the buttons tend to get pushed (especially when in my pocket). The volume control, however, does not lock in, and may turn up or down unexpectedly. Do not buy one of these, and please consider Panasonic or JVC products. All my JVC and Panasonic products are topnotch, while every walkman I ever owned an most recently my Sony video recorder have broken.And I babied them. So no more phony baloney Sony for me!!

Product Description:
The digital synthesized tuning of this personal stereo precisely locks in the most powerful signal for remarkably accurate reception. Ten random station presets allow you to instantly switch between memorized stations at the push of a button instead of searching with a tuning dial. The rugged, water-resistant design is ideal for active outdoor lifestyles, since it resists splashes, snow, and sprinkles for all-season use. The sturdy water-resistant case, rubber gaskets, bushings, and waterproof seals help keep out water, moisture, and dirt. A stopwatch function adds versatility by precisely timing events, while the built-in digital clock provides accurate timekeeping.
