miserable
This walkman, which I received less than 4 weeks ago new, has terrible reception in a good area, the headphone connection doesn't work - you only consistantly get one ear, and the volume is in a terrible place making it too loud or two low.

the armband doesn't stay put and heaven forbid you have thin arms - it doesn't close tightly enough.

It's just a miserable product.. And Sony want me to pay to have it fixed. Can you fix poor design? Steer clear.

Still Cannot Get the Connection Right
This is the third iteration I have purchased. Each time the headset connection gets worse and makes it all but unusable. I don't mind paying a premium price for a radio, but at least I would like one that worked.

Too unreliable to use
I would like a reliable radio to carry along when I walk. My husband bought me a Sony SRF-M80V S2 Sports™ Radio Walkman and it is a piece of junk. I can't get it to stay on. I cannot enjoy using it because it is too undependable. In fact it makes me angry. I thought Sony was a good company but this product is worthless.

Is anyone making reliable radios now? I prefer to pay less than $50 but might pay more if I knew I was getting a good product. It saddens me that reliability and customer service seem to be increasingly rare.

i got 3, all broke within 1 year
I got one for myself and two other ones for friends. Initially it worked great, but after about 9 months all got the same problem: the headset no longer connected well to the radio and hence it stopped working (lots of noise). This is definitely a flaw in the design and I do not recommend anyone buying this product.

Garbage
This radio has a lot of nice features, but is not built very strong. The belt clip broke off on my unit, and now the head phone jack is going. I expect a radio that is supposed to be used while exercising to be durable. I need a new radio now (less than 1 year), and I am not going to buy another Sony SRF-M80V.
