Review: Outstanding little radio - First off, I wouldn't really call this a "pocket" radio. Yes, it will fit in your pocket, but barely. I would say it's more of a "hand-held" radio, although it's still very, very light and portable. If you want a true pocket radio, I would take a look at the Kaito KA200 pocket radio or the Sony SRF-59 (both of which I also own and will write a review soon). The KA200 is incredibly small compared to both Sonys. However, the sound and reception of both Sonys is superior. Now, let me explain why this Sony's slightly larger physique is really an advantage (compared to the smaller KA200). - 1. The speaker is larger than the KA200, which produces a much cleaner sound than the smaller speaker and gets quite a bit louder. - 2. The AM reception is quite a bit better. The larger the unit, the larger ferrite bar can fit inside (AM uses the internal ferrite bar, while the FM uses the external telescopic antennae). Reception on both bands is absolutely fantastic. - 3. Controls: The volume and tuning wheels are slightly larger on this radio, making them much easier to use. - 4. The Sony holds larger batteries. It takes two AA batteries. A lot of the smaller radios I've seen/used take the smaller AAA size. So, I figure you would get 2-3 times the run time compared to a similar unit that takes two AAA's. Battery life is exceptional. I can't really tell you how good because I haven't been able to run out the original batteries yet. I mainly use this radio to keep up with the pro Minnesota sports teams when I'm away from a TV (cleaning, doing dishes, chilling out on the patio, etc). It's great for this. The speaker provides great sound and gets reasonably loud. It also works great for casual music listening. *PROS* - Small: Not really pockets size, but definitely hand-held size. - Reception: No complaints here on either AM or FM. In fact, this is probably this radios biggest strength. It's better than any other pocket (hand-held) radio I own. The telescopic antennae is probably about 17-18" when fully extended. The FM antennae also tilts side to side and can be folded down along the left side of the speaker when not in use. The tuning wheel on the right side is also very easy to work with. - Sound: Small built-in speaker provides pretty good sound for the size. It's not going to blow your mind, buy you won't be disappointed either. Another thing I really enjoy about this radio that I haven't really seen any other reviews mention is that in the rear of the unit, there are speaker holes cut out of the plastic that gives the impression that there is an additional speaker in the back (although there is only one). This just gives the sound another avenue to escape and the effect is that it makes the sound go in all directions no matter which way the speaker is facing. This is incredibly awesome when using AM because you have you adjust the internal antennae by rotation the unit horizontally. So, even if you have to point the unit away from you to get a distant station to come in, you're not sacrificing sound. - Batteries: Takes two AAs. This is probably the most common battery and the easiest to keep on-hand, at least in my opinion. Battery life is ridiculously awesome too. I've had this radio for a month now and have been trying to wear out the original batteries I put in it. So far, I've used it every day and even left it on overnight a few times, and have not yet been able to kill the batteries. Awesome. - Tuning light helps you locate stations quickly. *CONS* - Can be tricky to listen to at really low volume. Under most normal listening scenarios, this is not an issue. Also, there is quite a jump between low volume and high volume. Be careful when you're turning it up while listening to earphones/headphones. Also, the volume wheel can be kind of scratchy at the very low end of the volume range. - Speaking of earphones/headphones, the jack is actually an "earphone" jack, not a "headphones" jack. This means that if are listening through a standard set of stereo headphones, the sound will only come out of the left side. You can buy a couple dollar adapter to make the sound come out of both sides, although it will still be mono sound coming out of each one. If you plan on listening primarily with headphones, this unit is probably not the best choice. I would recommend the previously mentioned Kaito KA200, or Sony SRF-59 (both of which have a stereo headphone jack). Overall, I have been extremely impressed with this unit, especially for the price. I believe it's the best radio you can get for around ten bucks! After having it a week, I actually bought two more as backups or in case Sony stops selling this model. This would also be a great radio to have around in case of emergencies because of its simplicity and the fact it uses AA batteries and has a long run time. Buy it now.
Review: Easily exceeds expectations - I've had it less than a week, but I can already tell this is a great little radio! I bought it to use as part of my bike camping kit and for odd occasions when I might want or need to listen to the radio but not have one easily accessible otherwise. I'm in the Kansas City area and my favorite radio shows come out of Lawrence on 91.5 FM. Reception can be finicky with my other radios but this little Sony pulls it in strong and clear. It also clearly pulls in two FM stations out of Topeka that none of my other radios, save a vintage Kenwood tuner, can get clearly. On the AM band, local stations come in loud and clear. During nighttime hours, I've so far pulled in 27 out-of-market stations, some clearly, some not so clearly, from Denver to Atlanta, San Antonio to Toronto (856 miles away!) I also get snippets from many others, but not clearly enough to identify them. All this while inside surrounded by interference producing electronic items. I suspect long distance reception will improve when used outside on clear nights or with an auxiliary antenna. I'll probably rarely actively listen to any of these stations, but it is fun to play with and a testament to just how good this little radio is. For a low-cost, portable, pleasant sounding, easy to use radio, this little Sony cannot be beat. I expect to get a lot of use and enjoyment out of this little marvel. Edit 03/16/15: I continue to be amazed by this little marvel. I've reached for it much more often than I anticipated I would when I bought it. With the return of warmer weather I have used it outside a few times on clear nights. Once outside and away from all sources of electronic interference, the results on the AM band have been stunning. I have to date logged 45 out-of-market stations. I can receive several distant stations at near the quality of local stations. These include 650 WSM, Nashville; 700 WLW, Cincinnati; 670 WSCR, 720 WGN, 780 WBBM, all from Chicago; 830 WCCO, Minneapolis; 840 WHAS, Louisville; 850 KOA, Denver; 870 WWL, New Orleans; 940 KIXZ, Amarillo. Amazingly, when conditions are optimal, I can receive 740 CFZM, Toronto (856 miles distant) with minor static, but still listenable. I had expected to use this radio sporadically, mainly for bike camping on nice weekends. I didn't expect to like it so much and to want to use it as much as I have. For simple, enjoyable, inexpensive entertainment, this little gem is a real winner.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can you get fm without head/ear  phones?**
A: I get both AM and FM Gerry good without head/ear phones.

**Q: Even though it's mono, if I plug in a set of earplugs or headphones, will the sound come through both sides of the headphone? Thank you.**
A: Everyone is correct; however, Village Elder posted the most useful answer for this questioner -- buy the cheap stereo-to-mono adapter at Radio Shack to send the signal (same mono, not stereo) to both sides of headphones or earbuds if you want to hear the music/talk in both ears.  Otherwise, you get sound only in the left channel from this unit.

**Q: I primarily want a radio for AM band use.  Does this radio have good AM reception?**
A: This is an A+ shirt pocket radio with amazingly good reception for such a small size.  I'm in south central North Carolina and the first night between 2 and 3 AM I picked up WSM Nashville like a local station!  Also got WGN Chicago & WLW Cincinnati clearly.  All three are 50KW clear channel stations that you'd expect to get on any mediocre radio.  However I also picked up WKRD which is a 5KW station in Louisville KY and that one was truly the catch of the night and proved to me that this radio is an AM reception standout.  It is a little tricky to tune this little Sony than a larger radio would be since here you are working within about a two inch space to tune the entire AM band, so it takes patience.

**Q: How is the sound quality?**
A: The sound quality is great even taking into account that it is just a small, cheap radio.  One of the best buys I've ever gotten. I mostly listen to sports and talk so I haven't even tried the FM.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Rugged Multipurpose Radio
*by J***N on August 25, 2015*

Overall The Sony ICF-S10MK2 is an excellent radio. For a small radio, the Sony fills many roles all in one package. The reception is very good for such a small radio, its compact size means it can go almost anywhere, and the price point makes it a great value. Reception The reception brings in both FM and AM stations from miles away. I have been able to pick up FM stations nearly 40 miles away, which is very good for a radio of this size. The good reception makes it great for camping or other outdoor activities, in which case there may not be cell phone reception or the nearest radio station may be far away. Tuning is a simple operation, as the indicator is bright in color and there is a tuning light to show when a station is tuned in. Size Small footprint and light weight make this radio great for traveling. It very easily fits into a carry-on bag or a purse without taking up space of other travel essentials. The compact size also makes it suitable for use around the house. The Sony is easy to carry and not bound by a cord, as it runs exclusively on batteries. This truly is a “pocket radio.” Battery Life Some may buy this radio exclusively for emergency scenarios, especially power outages. Battery life has exceeded my expectations, and you may not need to change the batteries for many months. Even after sitting for weeks, the batteries do not leak and the output remains at 100 percent. You may not like this radio if… There are some quirks that a potential purchaser would want to know about. Because it is lightweight and small, with the antenna fully extended, it tends to fall over if it is not on a level surface or if there is a breeze. Being such a small radio, the tuning and volume knob can be sensitive making it prone to lose a station if it falls on the ground or the knobs are otherwise disturbed while listening. Conclusion These days, simple but efficient devices often get overlooked and taken for granted. The Sony ICF-S10MK2 is a rugged, compact, and functional radio that makes a great companion whether at home or far away.
