The device runs on a single AAA battery, providing hours of listening without significantly adding to overall weight.  The SRF-M85 is a slim, lightweight, digital AM/FM/Weather radio that's perfect for sports. |  Convenient LED display angle and easy-to-use controls are designed for use while on the run. |  Stopwatch, split, and pitch timer lets you record split times with the press of a button. | Weather/FM/AM Stereo Radio with 25 Presets

The supplied armband and belt clip let you "wear" your Walkman player during activities. Plus, the convenient LED display angle and easy-to-use controls are designed for information to be easily read at a glance while on the run. The split timer/stopwatch lets you record times with the press of a button, making your Walkman player a valuable companion when jogging, sailing, or any activity where timing is important. Finally, the included armband includes a reflector for better visibility at night. Sound Performer
The Mega Bass sound system produces rich, deep bass tones for a more powerful overall sound, and the included Sports Headphones are the Sony MDR (Micro Dynamic Receiver) vertical type, which means wide dynamic range and excellent audio. What's in The Box

 Poor connection over time November 8, 2009
S. Potts
I bought a Sony Sports walkman to listen to the radio while jogging, and it worked fine for a short while, then it started making a poor connection so that I would have to twist the headphone jack while jogging in order to get a consistent signal to listen to. After a while the signal would only come in or out. I could not listen to a signal wandering in and out.
It is not just this radio. I have yet to find a sports radio with headphone wires or cables that plug into the radio that is durable enough to last beyond 6 months of daily jogging. I think the problem is that the headphone cable or wire shorts out or the connection plug into the radio does not a good connection after a couple of months of jogging.
Whatever it is, I have yet to find a durable sports radio that works consistently. Maybe they make these things without durability so that consumers have to buy a new one every few months? Who knows? However, I just keep swithching to different products and manufacturers hoping there is a durable sports radio out there. If one goes out, I never repeat my mistake and buy the same model.
I am really looking for a sports radio with a wireless headphone that will not short out. Are there any out there?
 Not bad for what it is October 28, 2009

I struggled to find a replacement for a similar model I had for years. This was as close as I could find and it turned out better. A few new functions and it runs forever on a single AAA battery. Just try to find an am/fm at Best Buy, WalMart etc. You can't, they don't exist. Glad that I remembered Amazon.

The radio operates fine as far as setting mode, volume and frequency. I spent a long time with the owner's manual to get it right. The selectivity is terrible, however. I live in an urban area with FM radio stations throughout the dial. I wanted to listen to KQED, 88.5 MHz; however it was frequently overpowered by KBAY, 94.5 MHz. It was the same deal with most of the stations on the dial - you couldn't get a clear shot at anything. I am relegated to listening to AM, or throwing the thing away.
 Convenient but not perfect September 12, 2009

I have purchased several of this model radio because it gets fairly good am reception which is the band I listen too most and because it is small, stream lined and clips to my belt or arm band for use while exercising. However having gone through several of these the faults are: The little volume button tends to pop off and if you lose it, good luck working the volume. Another problem is a limit of only 5 presets for am the band I favor most. Over time, the phone output jack itself grows week with heavy use as in my case, causing static. And lastly, the dial does not light for night operation. I do recommend this product in part due to its relative low cost over the above limitations and lack of competitive options.
totally useless July 5, 2009

This armband radio is an extremely unsatisfactory product. I use an armband radio for walking. I had an old Sony armband radio, which I used for years and it worked fine. Unfortunately I lost the battery cover. So I thought I could replace it with the follow-up model. But with this new radio I hardly ever get clear signals. Mostly I get headache causing static and overlapping radio stations. It's much too frustrating to try to listen to any radio station. I checked if I could possibly have done anything wrong putting it together, tuning it, etc. Nothing helps. If I had not naively thrown the packaging material away I would have returned it immediately. It's hard to imagine that Sony makes such a lousy product. I don't understand how anybody can give it a good rating.
