Strengths: Good signal reception, compact and lightweight

Weaknesses: High price

If you are looking for a high-quality portable radio, then I would recommend you to check out the Sony SRFM97 AM/FM Radio. It is ultra-compact and lightweight, which facilitates easy portability. The solid construction with chrome touches makes it a good-looking device. It comes with 15 FM and 5 AM stations, so you can tune into most of your favourite radio stations.

One-touch access for switching between stations makes this radio user-friendly. This Sony radio provides good reception of signals for both local and far-away stations. The integrated mega bass technology delivers richer audio, which is mandatory for a radio. An AAA battery is needed for functioning, and its performance is quite impressive. Some may find the auto-off feature necessary as it turns off the unit after a set time.

Though the Sony SRFM97 AM/FM Radio boasts of many cool features, it does have some drawbacks. Initially, you will find programming of preset a complicated process, and even the manual will be of little use. When you use headphones that come along with this portable radio, the signal reception will be very poor. Try some other compatible headphones, and you will surely find a great difference. After removing the battery, you will have to reset all the stations, and this will be a tedious task.

Overall, the Sony SRF97 is high-performing device, and you will never regret for having paid a high price.
