 Sound Quality Compared with Sangean August 27, 2008
I'm a talk radio buff so AM reception is primary. Most of the things I could say about this radio have been covered already in the reviews here: strong, clear AM reception (but not inside steel frame buildings and under fluorescent lights, of course), very good FM reception, rugged build, good ergonomics and intuitive presets and tuning. Ann E. Revelle's review is particularly detailed and helpful.
Less discussed is the sound quality of the SRF-M37W, a primary consideration (along with reception) when I'm buying a radio. Here's my take: compared with two other pocket radios I have owned--the Sangean DT-110 AM/FM Digital Pocket Radio and the Sangean DT-180V AM/FM/TV Digital Pocket Radio--I would have to say the sound quality is a little less bright and immediate. It is not, however, as one reviewer opined, muffled or lacking in range or dynamics. There is a well-balanced, clear, precise sound quality, but it sounds as though Sony has filtered it a bit, perhaps to lessen high-frequency static and hiss. I think most buyers will find the sound pleasing.
I like the brighter Sangean sound more, but I did not like the fact that the headphone jacks on both of my Sangeans went bad long before the end of their overall life (the little DT-180V only lasted about a year), particularly since they cost a lot more than the Sony. I ended up with two speakerless radios that are unusable. Hence I decided on a brand change this time and bought the SRF-M37W. I paired it with some Creative EP-630 In-Ear Headphones, which are reasonably priced and have a nice, bright sound.
So far I'm pleased. We'll see how it holds up.
 AM/FM Walkman August 27, 2008
Works great when out for a walk. Like the digital tuning and the clip to pants.
Works well, but doesn't have TV August 21, 2008
The radio works fine and has great battery life, but I was kind of bummed when I realized that I ordered the wrong one. For the same price, there is another version of this radio that also picks up local TV audio.
Does what I want August 16, 2008
I've used this radio almost daily for 2+ months while outdoor walking and indoor gym use. Reception is good. Battery life is below the radar (infrequent replacements - I use recharables).
The headphones shipped with this radio are much better than average.
I'm a happy camper.
Good purchase August 15, 2008
This is a very good radio so far. I have used it for about 40 hours outside in the hot weather with dirt and sweat and it has done well. The reception is very good and I really like the digital readout and push button controls. The only downside to this product is that it does use batteries somewhat quicker than other radios I have used. But, what the heck, batteries are cheap. I'm very pleased. Definitely worth the money.
