Comments about Sony Sony S2 Sports Walkman Digital Stereo Armband Radio:

volume wheel poorly designed. mine repeatedly falls off; in fact I lost it while running--this limits usefulness of radio, as I no longer can change the volume. also controls not intuitive. also wire broke one earpiece so I only hear in one ear

Comments about Sony Sony S2 Sports Walkman Digital Stereo Armband Radio:

I love running and this is the perfect companion, it is light weight with a great reception. Does not interfear with my arm movement. The only setback is armband no replacement can be found once worn out.

Service & Delivery comments:

I believe abt can improve on delivery time. With Fedex and Ups overnight this should not be an issue. It took almost forever to arrive. But product was in excellent condition once arrived.

Abt Electronics Response: Thanks for the feedback. Orders to Puerto Rico is clearly stated online, the only shipping method available for this area is the United States Postal Service (USPS).

Great idea and item, minor faults!
By TuqualaVerified Purchaser from Kennewick, WA on 10/16/2008
Pros:
Durable, Good Sound Quality, Lightweight, Long Battery Life
Cons:
Poor shielding
Bottom Line:

Comments about Sony Sony S2 Sports Walkman Digital Stereo Armband Radio:

I bought this to use when I work outside for my job doing internet auto pictures.

It works pretty good, even many miles from the radio stations, BUT it is very vulnerable to outside interference even when in a local station's close-in area. When using my HP Palm, and digital camera, there is whistling and whining from the unit. It is also sensitive to position for am reception, due to the antenna being in the body and subject to its position. Nothing major, but occasionally annoying!

Buttons and controls are ok, but not that accessible when using on the belt clip and also are easy to bump when on your belt.

Bottom Line:

Comments about Sony Sony S2 Sports Walkman Digital Stereo Armband Radio:

bought this for my mom's birthday, she likes it very much. She had one of those "headset" radios to do her daily walk, so this lightweight Sony was a good replacement to get that 'head weight' off,was looking kind of outdated too.

Service & Delivery comments:

As usual, quick, reliable, and radio came well packaged.
