ICF-506 Is A Winner!
on February 26, 2019
Posted by: Gulf Coast Mike
I live some 50 miles from any electronics store, so my purchase decision was made from online research. After initially considering a half dozen radios, I narrowed my choice to two. Fortunately, I found a YouTube comparison which touted the sound quality of the Sony being the tiebreaker.
My favorite FM station is over 50 miles away and is tricky for some radios to receive. Not this one! I wish my car stereo had this kind of performance.
The 4” speaker surprised me with the bass level. The high end rolls off earlier than I preferred. Think AM radio with a little more extension. Headset use will get you a bit more high end. It is obvious that this radio has been tuned more toward talk radio than music.
Overall, I’m happy with my purchase. My intended use is for:
Shop
Garage
Patio
Beach
Hurricane

This Sony is adequate for all of these.

My first radio at 11 years old, 56 years ago, was a Sony. It performed wonderfully for over 20 years before being lost in a move. I was so pleased to recently discover Sony still makes portable, no non-sense portable radios with basic features, excluding all the unnecessary bells and whistles. I've had my new Sony portable radio for 2 months now and I can say the original quality standards that were so impressive over half a century ago continue to be instilled in their products. Very Highly Recommended !

I bought this radio thinking it was much smaller than it actually is but it has worked out really great. It has great sound and it travels well in my walker. I love it.

It certainly is nice to buy a radio in these days of streaming that makes the human voice sound like it's in a tin can. This radio has strong signal separation and locks on to a frequency. The radio sounds strong and clear. Nice to be able to still acquire a radio in 2022 and listen to ballgames like I have been for years.

After researching various available brands and previously owning Sony radio's of this type in the past, I chose to go with the Sony ICF-506 and am again happy with my purchase.
