Amazon.com Product Description

Sony's lightweight SRFM80V S2 Sports Walkman fits snugly into a supplied wrap-around arm band for hands-free listening during workouts or travel. The radio's ergonomic S2 Sports design places all function controls for easy access, and its LED is conveniently angled for easy reading when you're on the run. Furthering its suitability for athletic training, the SRFM80V includes a stop watch with a single-button split timer. And, if you'd rather not wear the device on an arm, just affix the built-in belt clip to a waistband.

Radio features include drift-free digital tuning across the weather, TV (VHF channels 2 to 13), and AM/FM stereo bands. And with the SRFM80V, weather is no obstacle--its water-resistant design blocks out moisture, and dirt (though do keep in mind that it's not made for submersion in water). A local/distant (DX) switch optimizes reception of both near and distant stations, and a power-off timer shuts off the Walkman at your preset time to conserve battery life. The arm band includes a safety reflector. Five-direct-key preset memory lets you electronically tune in to any five stations set--even in different frequency bands--with the press of a single, easy-to-reach button, while a separate direct weather button offers one-button tuning of weather bands.

You'll also enjoy conveniences like 25-station preset memory (five for TV, five for weather, 10 FM, and five AM), Sony's low-end-enhancing Mega Bass Sound System, and two-AAA-battery operation (batteries not included). Supplied Sony MDR (micro dynamic receiver) vertical-type sports headphones deliver wide dynamic range and clear sound.

5 out of 5 stars How I Learned To LOVE This SRF-M80V Walkman!!.......2007-11-28

I bought this SRF-M80V Walkman about 4 years ago from Radio Shack because I like the features. AM/FM/TV digital tuning, 20 preset stations.

The operation and unusual design of it took lots of getting used to, so I put it in a draw and forgot about it for 4 years. I have a collection of 4 other perfectly functioning Sony Walkmans to fall back on.

Then, in recent months I dug out this SRF-M80V from the draw. I learned to use it, got used to it, and now LOVE it the best of all of my Walkmans!

I've been using it every day for the past 2 months with no problems. No broken earphone jacks. I never even considered using the supplied headphones. (Supplied headphones are always "junk" and necessitate the need for better headphones, IMO.) Sometimes I may accidentally touch the volume control, but that's okay, I perfer a volume control that is easy to operate, and easy to turn down when necessary.

I am shocked to see that the price has tripled since I had bought mine! I'm also disappointed that Sony has discontinued this model. (I wanted to buy an additional one for someone.) It seems that the closest replacement model is the SRF-M85, but I like this one better!

I think it's important to point out that **effective February of 2009 when TV goes to strictly digital broadcasting and analog broadcasting will be discontinued, that the TV bands on this radio will no longer work.** (Let's not mistake "digital tuning" for "digital broadcasts")

I LOVE this Walkman for now, but considering the facts that TV sound will no longer be available on it, and the fact that the price has tripled, I believe that this Walkman is not worth it's current price. However, I'm confident that I will enjoy this Walkman at least until the Feb 2009 change. The FM and AM bands will not be effected.

4 out of 5 stars Despite Flaws, I Have Few Complaints.......2007-07-24

Despite the low ratings that other reviewers have given the Sony SRF-M80V S2, I've been pretty pleased with mine. It's lasted a few years (like the other Sony Walkmen that I've had), and this one especially took some abuse mountainbiking and continues to work wonders. The arm band's nice, but I clip mine on my biking shirt or shorts and it holds on just fine.

Are there cons? Yes, but they're minor. The headphones were replaced on the first day (they're awkward), and the FM/TV/Weather reception could be better (I listen to AM only, and that's always been great). Also, the fact that the "hold" switch does not freeze the volume is somewhat troublesome--especially since the volume dial is right next to the clip, it can turn up loud without warning.

Overall, a great radio if you can find it on the cheap.

5 out of 5 stars It Works Great For Me.......2007-06-26

I've had one of these for years. I use it every morning to listen to an NPR station that is about 50 miles away. Reception has been fine virtually everytime I've used it. TV feature was handy during Wilma when my electricity was out for a couple of days.

3 out of 5 stars Decent...Needs Some Improvements.......2007-02-05

I like the channel preset buttons and the stop watch feature but...I do not like the volume control. It is very sensitive and easily moved if you put the radio in a pocket or attach to your belt. I can't tell you how many times I have blasted my eardrums or turned the volume off while running. Something also went bad with the left channel, it cuts in and out, which is very annoying. Overall it's not a bad radio...Reception and sound are pretty good. I would not buy again unless the volume control was improved.

4 out of 5 stars Great Product.......2006-04-18

I find this to be quite a nice product. It appears kind of large at first glance, but sits securely on the arm and is light and not bothersome. Reception is very good and importantly for me, the volume is LOUD(nice when so many walkmans are quiet for safety?). The headphone connection is a bit crackly. I hope this radio last a while.
