What customers say about "Key Specs"

Sangean SR-35 AM/FM Analog Pocket Radio with Built-in Speaker

Large factor of signal amplification coupled with extremely low internal electronic noise.
It can compete with digital radios 5-6 times more expensive, even if it is just a pocket radio.
This Sangean has the most intelligent and sturdy antenna attachment system of this group of radios, allowing it to be used as a support when the radio is set on a counter.
The Sangean was easily the overall winner -- best audio, best overall reception (AM + FM), and best station locking onto the signal without drift or background noise.
Very good sound from the speaker, doesn't eat batteries too fast, and the tuning LED is a reliable indicator of having dialed the best signal.

Sony ICF-S10MK2 Pocket AM/FM Radio, Silver

The antenna is collapsable and folds behind the unit for storage.
It has a volume dial that acts as the on/off switch, an FM/AM switch, and a tuning dial. It is battery operated only. It has been a great little radio for my needs and I highly recommend!
The antenna is secured to the radio with a small screw attached to a metal piece that sticks out on the back of the radio.
Tuning is strong on the FM band. I don't really listen to AM band, but I'm sure at night with clear skies this little baby would probably pick up AM band just fine.
The antenna works well. Also, I was impressed with the volume. For a small, lightweight, pocket radio, it can put out some volume.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Sangean SR-35 AM/FM Analog Pocket Radio with Built-in Speaker

I am surprised at the quality of sound that comes from this little radio!
Wow. It's very lightweight and small enough to fit almost anywhere, so that it delivers so well with rich sound is pretty amazing.
For the money, this is a really great little radio!
It's average size for a pocket radio and does have a little weight to it.
I would never have guessed that such good sound could come out of such a small plastic box.

Sony ICF-S10MK2 Pocket AM/FM Radio, Silver

It's small, portable, well built, and I am confident that they will work for quite some time.
This is my second one just like it. It amazes me how a radio so, small can sound so, clear and work so, well if all you want to do it to listen to the radio.
With a radio this small you really don't need a rotating antenna as it's just as easy to rotate the radio.
The speaker on this little gem is also a big plus. It puts out decent sound for its small size.
This radio is light and small. So, for those of you who long for the 70s and 80s and want to lug a 75 pound, full size stereo around on your shoulder, this isn't for you.

What customers say about "Power"

Sangean SR-35 AM/FM Analog Pocket Radio with Built-in Speaker

The radio has the ability to extract 2 weeks of listening 4-5 hours/day from already spent batteries from other electronic equipment, with no listening degradation at all.
The batteries are lasting for ever, I've had it running for 8 hours a day for the last 5 days and one day I had the volume all the way down but did not turn it off.
Low battery consumption. An excellent travel radio. Headphone jack. Well worth the price, and you won't be disappointed with it.
The battery lasts and it's small and inexpensive. For some reason, the kids get a kick out of it and it won't kill you when they run off with it or drop it in the creek.
This radio has excellent sound and volume, especially for a radio this size. The batteries last very long.

Sony ICF-S10MK2 Pocket AM/FM Radio, Silver

The radio uses 2 double A batteries which seem to last for months with frequent use. Overall we are pleased with the value compared to the cost of this radio.
Battery life is excellent. Two AA batteries lasted six months when I used the radio 1-2 hours a day
It uses 2 AA batteries and they seem to last as long as advertised.
The radio needs two AA batteries which guarantees over 40 hours of use. It is easy to tune and change from AM to FM frequency
