This is an excellent personal radio to listen to in bed. My current purchase is a replacement for the same radio which I had for several years.

The radio is bigger than i thought it would be and the reception is not very good. I thught since it had a distance switch it would pick up stations better and that is not the case. Would not reccommend anyone but this radio.

The Sony SRF-59 Walkman was even better than expected, so I truly did purchase it 'twice'. The first one was accidentally thrown out, so immediately ordered another one from Amazon. Both times delivery was within 3-4 days (however, I suggest they check packaging because the box was damaged both times), but the product itself was very well protected. I walk/run most mornings so appreciate the portabiity. I clip it on my waistband but is small enough to fit in most pockets or a fanny pack. I was particularly pleased with the sound in such a small item and I am able to pick up more stations. The earphones are very comfortable. I highly recommend this product!

I remember back when Walkman radios were the latest greatest many years ago. And, I have an older version Walkman which is still working fine. I purchased this one because I left my older one at a different location. This is a nice little radio -- very light, etc. I prefer the older version -- it is a little smaller and black rather than silver. But, this one is very good for the price and does the trick.
