Panasonic RF-SW70 ShockWave Headphone Radio Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Panasonic RF-SW70 has a lot of bells and whistles, but the sound quality is about a "C" with the bass turned on, and unpleasantly tinny with the bass turned off. The plastic earphones were uncomfortable and kept popping out of my ears. There's an annoying beep every time one changes the station.
Of all the portable walkabout radios I've tried, this was the least intuitive/most complicated to use. I had to sit down with the instructions to figure out how to use the bass function. I worked with the instructions for 10 or 15 minutes to try to pre-set some favorite stations, and was still unable to figure out how to do this. Likewise the lap timer was confusing. It's a stop watch one can have beep every 1, 5, or 10 minutes, but I wasn't clear on how to work it. Many people will not need this feature. There's also a "city function" to receive better reception on FM broadcasts from weaker stations. Ironically, I was able to pull in these stations only when this function was turned off.
Other features include:
* a secure belt clip
* tapered shape for holding in the palm of the hand
* light-weight (3.6 ounces including headphones)
Overall I was not terribly impressed. With mediocre sound quality and confusing functions, I find other radios to be better buys.
