Content: This product exceeded me expectations by great amounts. The tuner is great, anything I get in my truck this can get, just as easily. The battery life is also amazing, I've had this for at least 2 months and played it daily on the same 2 batteries i originally placed in it.
The only complaint I have is that the volume can not turn down as low as I would sometimes like. (ie, laying or sitting down where its quiet or i have a headache)
Altogether this is an awesome little product.
Summary: Amazing quality, specialy the for price.

Content: This Sony ICF-S10MK2 radio is one of a kind as far as reception goes.
I live in central florida and this radio can pick up a N.Y. station on clear nights! I gave one of these radios to a homeless person who likes drinking too much alcohol and everytime I see him, he can't stop thanking me. It can be embarrasing sometimes, but hey this radio is that good. Remember though, that this radio is a pocket radio with one little speaker so don't expect stereo or great volume. This radio is perfect to carry with you and to listen to discreetly. Just like I guess homeless people do.

Content: I am VERY PLEASED with my 3 Sony ICF-S10MK2 Silver Pocket AM/FM Transistor Radios. The reception is GREAT ! Both the AM and FM stations come in sharp and clear ! These radios will come in handy in case of any power outages that might occur here. Also, I enjoy listening to one of these radios while I am in bed at night. I just wish that this model of radio could have been offered in more colors than silver. But, I am okay with the silver. I'm glad that they use 2/AA batteries as these are easier to insert/install/remove and also last LOTS longer than does a 9V battery as with some battery-powered electronics.

Content: Remeniscent of some of the first pocket sized transistor radios of the 1960's ( although those were AM Only ) I am amazed at the overall performance of this radio for the price ! I have purchased a few ' " Ten Dollar Radios " as souveniers of my travels in other parts of the world and most of them perform barely satisfactory if even that. This is Not the case with the Sony ICF-S10MK2.
Although on the radio I purchased, there seems to be a rather high level of built in noise between stations when tuning on the AM Band. This noise is quieted however when a station is tuned in. The AM sensitivity on this radio is quite good for a radio of this price and I am at a distance from major broadcasters in this area. FM sensitivity and selectivity are good as well.
Obviously you can not expect a radio of this size and price to have High Fidelity " Boom Box " type sound. For its size and price however the clarity and quality of sound especially when listening to voice programs like News and Talk Radio I find nothing short of excellent. Music is good too although you have to remember this is a small radio but in a quiet room you can hear it all over the room without having to turn the volume up all the way.
The tuning indicator light on the front of the radio is another plus.
For AM reception the built in ( presumably a ferrite bar type antenna ) is directional so positioning of the radio will make a difference in AM reception. This is a characteristic of this kind of antenna so it is to be expected and adds to the AM sensitivity in picking up stations that are not local to the listener.
This is one of the very few occasions where a budget priced pocket sized radio performs as good as it looks. At this price you just can't go wrong. I am buying a second one of these and maybe a few more as gifts for friends. I couldn't believe something with the Sony name on it could be offered at this price and thought before even ordering the radio that Sony would not put their name on something that had substandard performance, reliability or durability and that has proven true with this radio.
Summary: You can't Beat This For The Price
