This analog radio outperforms all DSP models. This receiver uses a true analog tuning capacitor providing smooth continuous tuning with stability and Q factor in the tuning of weak radio stations while strong adjacent transmitters are present. This makes this receiver a joy to use and a superior product. The thumb wheel tuning knob is firm and tunes smoothly and continuously across the band without popping sounds nor other annoyances like frequency stepping/hopping. The Sony ICF-P26 is more comfortable to use than DSP tuners for finding evening and night time DX (skip) stations. The Sony ICF-P26 is the most sensitive, selective and enjoyable to use pocket radio that I have found so far.

Good little radio to carry around the house when doing the housework. Easy to fine the radio station you want to listen to.

Perfect for what it is designed for. Great for portable use during my work day so I can listen to my radio programs. for a $20 dollar radio you get a good durable radio the can handle some abuse. Perfect for news radio. Great battery life.

I purchased this transitor radio a few weeks ago to replace one I had for many years.....both Sony. Very disappointed with this one. Very cheaply made....in off button sticks. Just not as good as the last one.

I bought this for emergency use when power goes out. Great reception on AM and FM. Sound quality is okay but more than ample for what I bought it for.

Good old time product except non transistor operated. Save on phone mobile plan. Convenient and portable. Not relying on mobile coverage and blocking transmission during phone call

Have you ever wanted a handheld radio that you can take anywhere? Well this is the radio for you! This radio plays AM/FM, the speaker is of great quality and it came with a lanyard for you convenience (I don’t remember if it came with batteries or not, but why should that factor in you purchasing this quality stylish radio) Did I say stylish? That right, I did! I like my electronics to have a certain look, this one looks and reminds me a lot of like the Sony products that I grew up with in the 90’s. The quality and looks are all in this radio. I ended up buying one for my mother, and she too enjoys it! Anyways, don’t let a negative review steer you away from this radio, you’re gonna miss out on taking pride and owner ship of a quality Sony radio.

I bought this radio from Walmart. The am reception is good and sensitive . Fm seems deaf from 92 to 96 mhz. I paid under 20 dollars for it so I guess I can live with that.

I just received my little portable radio. I absolutely love it! I initially purchased it in case of a power outage, but I find myself using it constantly!

I have purchased two of these radios and I love every thing about the radio except the Volume control has gone bad on both of them. Both have uncontrollable volume, it goes from quite to very loud while trying to adjust the volume control. They both seemed to operate OK for a little while then both ended up doing the same thing. Would like to have another one but unsure after buying two that have had the same problem. I like SONY but have ad very bad luck with these two.

Great size & style. Sony is a company you can trust ! Radio has nice clear sound. The "wheel" tuner works great (I prefer it so much more than the "digital)." Puts out a nice clear sound with my headphones too ! I looked at a lot of radios on-line, and this was definitely the best value for the money. I would highly recommend it to anyone !

I bought this radio for its long battery life and because I heard it has great AM reception. It does. I`m very happy with AM on this radio. However, FM is utterly defective with one station covering most of the dial with images (I`m out in the country too!), and this is the 2nd MADE IN CHINA radio in a row that I`ve bought which was defective. Amazon has a great return policy. Unfortunately for me the nearest UPS store is an hour away from my home. I would have to travel aprox TWO HOURS to return this. The other radio I bought from another company was defective on AM. I still have it. The company refused to send me one that functioned properly. I left a 5 star review for this Sony radio on Amazon because of the incredible AM reception. I should have tried the FM band first. Please send me a radio that works. I have an AM/SW radio blog and I sing the praises of radios I love. I love the AM reception on this Sony but I can`t recommend it to others as an emergency radio if the FM band is defective. Are all of them like this?

it is the worst radio ever made!!!! Dont spent your money, dont buy it before listen it. the sound with headphones DOESNT WORK !! You cant hear anything! The volume quality is so poor by headphones and so low too.The station roll button lost the position all the time!! You cant hear the station clearly. When you change the volume you hear annoying noise ! All these are factory and built problems.

This radio has some good features - tuning in stations is easy, for example. But I've had two of them, and in both - soon after the warranty expired - the volume control failed. I'm using one of them now, but when I turn the volume up, it may go down, and vice versa. To get the volume I want, I have to cover the speaker with the palm of one hand (to protect myself against unwanted blasts of sound) and fiddle with the volume control, and eventually I'll get the volume I want. What a piece of garbage.

Sony replaced with new unit, but same problem within a year for each. Volume will not go beyond mid-range without "breaking up". This unit has not been abused in any way.

Sometimes you just need an old school radio. This little Sony fits the ticket perfectly, with extras.

Brilliant radio, perfect size and just what I was looking for, it never wanders of the station unlike other brands I've researched, well built and well worth the money.
This compact vertical AM/FM radio is the perfect fit for rooms where space is at a premium. It features a new LED battery status indicator and runs on two AA batteries - so whether you're listening through the built-in speaker or via the dedicated headphone socket, you will always be able to enjoy great sound.
