You need to extend and position the wire antenna to get FM stations. That would be OK if you just park the radio in one spot and leave it. Trying to keep the antenna properly positioned in the shower is another story.

Radio has great sound. Quality for the price paid. A little bulky when hanging from the shower head would be the only con. Loud & clear when water is running.

You really do get what you pay for & I would definetly recommend this Sony product.

Comments about Sony Sony Splash Resistant Shower Radio:

Wow, I can't believe they're still selling this. I've had this radio for at least 6 years...probably longer. It's great. My off button has fallen off over time, but that was no fault of the product itself. Even with the broken button, I refuse to give this product up. It has a great sound quality, looks sleek and has endured throughout it all. I've dropped it in the pool and left it oustide in rainstorms and it still works great.

I received this gift as a present when I was 14 or 15 and it has turned out to be the most used gift I've ever recieved, go figure. Definitely worth the buy!

Comments about Sony Sony Splash Resistant Shower Radio:

I like listening to the news/weather while I get ready for work in the morning, and this is the best shower radio I have ever owned. I live in a rural area but still get crisp, crystal clear reception on Am and FM stations. I have had this radio for almost 10 years now, and I was delighted to see that Sony still makes this model. The one I own still works but the outer covering on the off button has worn a bit, and is vulnerable to water. I keep it on my vanity instead of in the shower. Water had seeped into that little break, and it had to dry out well before the radio would function again, but function it did! Same beautiful sound I am used to! I am going to purchase another one and tuck it away for future use in the event mine [*] out because I have grown so accustomed to it, the mornings just wouldnt be the same without it. This is a terrific product, and I highly recommend it! (great price on this web site too!)

I cannot yet say whether the battery life or durability will be Pros or Cons, but it's exactly what I expected from the reviews and descriptions. I would have liked to have seen a low battery indicator, but that my still be coming and I don't know about it. If there's one thing I didn't like it's that it uses C batteries which don't seem to be that common these days. Maybe future models will have a built in Li or other rechargeable set up.

The only thing I would change is reception, a very few FM stations don't come in clearly. It's a good size, easy to use with wet hands, I love having pre-sets, the display is easy to read even without reading glasses. It hangs or sits, and the suction cup supplied for the antenna is great. The auto-off timer may be the best thing about it, no more freak-outs when I discover how long I was in the shower! The price is right, and it worked and was very easy to set.

It arrived faster than I expected considering I used standard, take your time shipping. It was very well packed and padded.

Comments about Sony Sony Splash Resistant Shower Radio:

Because the hanging strap is not on center, the unit hangs crooked.

Also, reception is not good without the antennae, and that means the antennae must be routed on the wall, and that means you cannot pick up the radio and move it easily. Bummer.

The sound quality is much better than on previous shower radios we have had. Let's hope these c-cell batteries last longer than the previous radio which used 9 volt batteries.

This turned out to be a great solution for having a small radio in the bathroom and a clock as well. It looks good on the counter, and is used daily in the morning. The weather channels are a boon for someone who is a weather junkie. The only con is the cord antenna, which needs a mirror or other place to stick up with a suction cup. Not sure that is really needed.

Comments about Sony Sony Splash Resistant Shower Radio:

THIS SHOWER RADIO IS GREAT SO FAR COMPARED TO THE JENSEN BRAND I HAVE HAD THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. I WILL ADMIT I AM BIAS TOWARDS SONY AS EVERY SONY PRODUCT I HAVE EVER OWNED HAS NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS. THIS RADIO IS SO EASY TO USE. THE VOLUME CONTROL IS A LARGE KNOB ON THE SIDE WITH RIDGES ON IT SO IF YOUR HANDS ARE WET IT IS STILL EASY TO TURN. ALL CONTROL BUTTONS ARE ON THE TOP AND EASY TO MANUEVER BETWEEN PRESET STATIONS OR BANDS. I WISH THIS PRODUCT WOULD HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE WHEN I FIRST STARTED USING A SHOWER RADIO.

Low profile with good reception on most stations. Great little radio with terrific battery life. We own three of these radios and have them in two of our bathrooms and in the kitchen. Our neigbors commented that it sounded as good as their Bose Radio in their kitchen. I don't know about that, but we bought this one for them as a gift since they liked it so much. Terrific value for a sturdy useful little product.

I've been looking for a long time for a good bathroom radio.
This is the one I've been looking for. It is attractive for the bathroom and best of all, I can get all the stations I want. The tone is great and it is so nice to have the clock too. I would tell anyone looking for a bath radio that they can't go wrong with this one.
It plays well anywhere so would be good for the kitchen too.

Comments about Sony Sony Splash Resistant Shower Radio:

I live near a radio tower that is not my favorite station. With all dial/analog radios we would get the signal from that tower up and down the dial. Even after dialing into another local station, that tower would override that signal and start to seep thru the radio. This is great for sometimes getting even hard signals that we can't always get on our home stereo.

Comments about Sony Sony Splash Resistant Shower Radio:

This is the 2nd one I own, bought one for my son for Xmas. After 6 years of everyday use, the old one continues to perform well. Pros = Timer On/Off extends battery life from 3 C batteries. Sony hit the mark on this one, big buttons on top, easy volume adjust on the side, easy preset buttons for annoying commercial breaks ;-)

I think some of the engineers actually used this in their showers and figured out that these small details and simplicity make this a great shower radio.

Only con: the plasma/plastic cover on the top (covers many of the push button controls) will leak after a few years, suggestion take a piece of clear packing tape and cover the top, and trim with scissors, this stops the plastic from aging and when the tape gets a little worn and is easily replaced while protecting the original plasma/plastic from aging and eventually leaking into the radio.

That's all I have, highly recommended for those that value things that last, are economical on batteries and are highly functional.

Fast, great price, great service. I wasnt familiar with ABT, but now I am and I will be back for more great deals. Nice marketing piece as well... well done compared to most catalogs.

Comments about Sony Sony Splash Resistant Shower Radio:

I've owned a Sony shower radio for many years, and finally the top flex panel cracked and allowed water into the electonics, and it died. But, it lasted many years (10 yrs?) Used it everyday.I had been able to put heavy-duty clear tape over the cracks that developed in the membrane, to prolong the life for about 2 more years. (Cracks developed after years of my fingernails pressing into the plastic membrane switches.The tape repair probably could last forever if you make sure it's solidly taped.And, if you don't have fingernails, you are "golden".)So, I bought another, and it should last 10 yrs or more. I also placed these radios in my vacation rental property-- one in each shower. I've tried cheaper ones-- and found them to be garbage. There are others from [...] -- but they are more expensive and larger, and may not have digital tuning. The Sony is simple, plays AM/ FM / TV and is very sensitive to signals. The antenna is a simple wire which can be moved around anywhere and can stay-put using a suction cup attachment. Don't waste your time or money on another brand-- the Sony design has remained exactly the same for many years, I guess because it works.( And the price has gone down over the years.)

This has got to be one of the nicest radio for the shower!
Don’t like listening to commercials or a certain song, no worries. All your favorite stations are easily programmed.
One touch auto shut off. So I don’t ever have to worry about forgetting to shut it off.

The only thing that would make it 100%, rather then 99.9%, is if there were suction cups at he back of the radio. This way when it hangs off the showerhead, it would sit flush and back.

Payment and shipping confirmation were seamless. Perfect packing! Very reliable seller with great prices and service.

Excellent sound quality for a shower radio. Also, tuner is able to pick up radio stations that other shower radios have not been able to pick up.

The radio could have a better way to place the radio in the shower. The bottom of the radio is too big to sit at the top of the shower ledge and the suction cups and strap leave the radio dangling, kind of awkwardly. A hook to hang off of the shower nozzle would be good, or suction cups for the entire back of the radio.

Can't complain about the AM/FM/Weather reception, though -- it's nearly perfect. Love the timer option as well.

This is the fourth shower radio I've owned and it's the best. Unless you have a shelf ready and waiting or a conveniently located shower valve, you may need a suction cup to hang this radio from the shower wall. The controls are on the top surface so the radio has to hang at chest level or lower, but the display is on the front surface so I find myself lifting and tilting the radio to check the impact of my button pushing. Nice sensitivity, selectivity, stability, volume, tone, etc. Overall a good buy.

This is my second one. I've had the first one well over 5 years, and with the redo of my bathroom, I wanted a new radio, and wanted one just like the one I was replacing. I don't use it in the shower, but keep it on the vanity. Batteries last a very long time, and the presets make using it very easy to use. If you want a good battery powered radio to keep in the bathroom, this is it.
