Exceptional Pocket Radio
ICF-P26 03 July 2017 by Ken Indy (USA)
When I was a kid, a "transistor radio," as we called them then, was my constant companion on the go, on my bike, by my bed, and everywhere else. Now in the era of smartphones and tablets there are a variety of other personal entertainment options, but sometimes a pocket radio is exactly what you want, and this one is fantastic. It sounds great for a radio of its size, the batteries last essentially forever, it's simple to use, it looks sleek, and it gets excellent reception on both the FM and AM bands. A lot of the other small radios available now are cheaply made and barely work, so it's great to see that Sony is still making a high-quality one.

Poorly designed volume control for am/fm -ICF-26
ICF-P26 04 August 2019 by Cop509 (USA)
Sony replaced with new unit, but same problem within a year for each. Volume will not go beyond mid-range without "breaking up". This unit has not been abused in any way.

Not as expected
ICF-P26 14 January 2023 by Khaled (Australia)
Volume controller knob in few months will produce scratchy sounds and fails to increase/decrease volume. Mechanical (not electronic) parts will always fail after some time. One thing notable; is the very long lasting of the battery charge.

Very handy little radio
ICF-P26 30 March 2022 by Minnie (United Kingdom)
I'm really pleased with this radio -- it's just what I wanted, apart from the fact that it doesn't switch between mains & batteries (-- it didn't claim to !) It seems well-made & is very straightforward to use.

Reliable little Radio
ICF-P26 16 March 2022 by moses007 (United Kingdom)
Bought a few weeks ago and so far very good. I like the sturdy base feature to it. Stops it from flipping over when touched. The only criticism is the On/Off switch which is incorporated with the FM/AM stations.

Portable with simple design
ICF-P26 02 February 2022 by martin (United Kingdom)
Easy to use, radio stations are clear to hear. Quality of sound isn't anything exciting, but for a small mono speaker fully acceptable and kind of what to expect.

Disappointed
ICF-P26 26 January 2022 by Sue (United Kingdom)
This radio is portable enough to fit your pocket. I bought it for work. I am disappointed. Can’t get any station as reception is really bad. Different to TuneIn to any station. Waste of money.

Nice little radio
ICF-P26 06 January 2022 by Binman (United Kingdom)
As a Christmas present for my wife it went down well, and has proved much used and appreciated. Sounds a bit tinny but not surprising for its size. Good volume when required.
