The best headphone radio available

Strengths: comfortable to wear, great sound

Weakness: only 5 am presets

This radio replaces my current Sony Sports Headband radio that is almost worn out & has always been uncomfortable to wear. It has Great am/fm sensitivity, with 20 memory presets, digital clock display, adjustable double headbands. DX/Local FM sensitivity switch, light reflector on the antenna, and a really great mega bass setting. I love this radio.

Strengths: fairly nice sound for a headset

Weakness: some stations fade in and out

My big concern when buying a headset was getting all of the stations I love-- all of the time. And clear reception of them. This headset does a decent job at pretty much everything, except occasional fading in and out of some FM stations I listen to. It's still better than most other headsets I have heard. These same radio stations have at times gone a bit fuzzy even at home or in my car- so it...

These same radio stations have at times gone a bit fuzzy even at home or in my car- so it could very well be just due to my location/proximity to the stations. Paid $40- good deal for the money!! (And for a Sony!!)

Sony SRF-HM33 Walkman AM/FM Stereo Headphone Radio

Strengths: They have excellent sound and pick up stations well inside of a building if you are close to a window.

Weakness: The headphones do not stay on well if you are running or jogging. Slow walk and treadmill do work well.

I needed these headphones as I am post a heart attack. I am going to rehab and they serve as an excellent diversion while I am doing my workout. The headphones would not work well in an agressive workout setting.

To be expected

Strengths: Sound quality is acceptable, and of course the integrated design eliminates wires. Although it hasn't been used too much, the batteries seem to last. The LCD screen is clear and crisp.

Weakness: To change stations, you usually need to take it off or feel around for the proper buttons. Also, due to the integrated design, the quality isn't perfect and you can't upgrade the headphone component.

You might not want to walk around wearing headphones with a prominent yellow-tipped antenna, but it works. However, spending just a bit more can get you an MP3 player (albeit not a new iPod at current prices), possibly with an FM tuner, and let you use whatever quality headphones you want; if one component breaks, you can replace just that component. For simple listening, it's a fine product, but...
