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

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!
