My wife likes to listen to the radio as she walks so I thought I would get her this for Mother's Day. However, when she opened the package the poor design of this product became immediately apparent. As small and light as this radio is, when you put it on your ears, it pulls your ears down so you look like a floppy-eared dog! Plus, after some slight jarring (as from walking-its intended purpose after all!) it falls off! No amount of finangling with the setup could make this radio work as intended!
To add insult to potential injury (having your ears look as if you're wearing "the flying nun's" habit!), the reception is awful! Stations that are close by sound as if they were coming in via shortwave and distant stations, well forget it, they didn't come in at all!
All in all, a high-tech radio with low-tech problems. Take this one back to the drawing board Sony!

I purchased this unit with the intention of using them at football games to listen to the local play-by-play. Well, I saw them online and thought "What a great idea!", boy was I wrong.
I took them out of the box and eagerly attempted to put them on. To my dismay I could not get the little earpiece clips to keep them on my ears. As far as the sound, I think they actually did a decent job of pulling in signals. However, in order to enjoy the sound you must be able to keep them on your head - and these don't. It's a fantastic concept, but an unfortunate bad design from the start. I've never said this about any Sony before, but skip this product.

unfortuately, i saw the review on these sony
headphones after i had already ordered them. the other
review which says how useless these are is making an
understatement. the little plastic earclips won't even
hold the headphones on. a great concept but just
a plain terrible design!! sound??? who knows, they
won't stay on your ears. i can't believe sony let
this out. further i can't believe sharper image didn't
check this product out before selling it

THIS HEADPHONE RADIO IS PROBABLY THE MOST COMFORTABLE RADIO I'VE EVER HAD. IT'S GREAT TO TAKE TO A BALLGAME TO LISTEN TO PLAY-BY-PLAY, HAS CRISP AND DEEP SOUND AND IF YOU USE THE CONNECTOR TO USE WITH AN IPOD OR OTHER MP3 DEVICE THE SOUND IS PHENOMINAL!! YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED.
POSITIVES:
BEHIND THE EAR DESIGN IS QUITE COFORTABLE, PORTABILITY, CRISP SOUNDS, DEEP BASS AND WEIGHT.
NEGATIVES:
YOU HAVE TO RECHARGE IT OFTEN TO KEEP THE BATTERY CHARGED SO THAT YOU WONT LOOSE YOUR PRESET STATIONS AND SETTING THE PRESETS A LITTLE COMPLICATED.

I bought this Sony Walkman to use while mowing the yard. My ears must be the wrong size or shape....I can't get them to stay on! The sound is great and they would be perfect if I could get them to hold. One small bump and they are falling off. Using them to walk is out of the question too. I wish they had different ear "hooks." I was very disappointed!

The sound quality is very good. The reception is average. The ear attachment is fine for walking, but will not stay put while jogging.

MQ11 Walkman Digital FM Ear Clip Headphone Radio works great! I work in a big factory and they work good inside, you hear the music really great.

It's been great for hearing a seminar where the speakers are placed about the room.
The events are simulcast on a local radio frequency and ta da! I hear like I'm on stage.
It's a little sore on the ears when wearing for hours at a time.
Recommend it come with a protective box to protect the headphones when packed in luggage or in a purse.
Thanks

I bought my first SRF-MQ11 in 2007 and wore it daily as a riding stereo. Under constant use, since 2007, the ear clips, on the original radio, wore some and it became may yard-work radio. I am sure I will get years of enjoyment from the new headphone riding radio and still enjoy many more years of life from the original too. A good, solid product.
