I've had mine for a month now - it accompanies me around the house in the morning as I get ready for work listening to 5 live, it follows me around the garden as I trim the hedges or relax in the sun listening to Classic FM, and it sits on the shelf in the evenings as I listen to the sports and news round-ups. The radio it replaced was a similarly priced supermarket brand, but the quality of the Sony puts it in another league. The sound is far richer than I expected, with a hint of bass from the larger than average speaker. The controls are very simple - no tone control, just volume and tuning, so less to go wrong. Station separation is good - much better than the supermarket unit which bled stronger signals over fainter ones. Reception is excellent; having once fallen for the digital radio hype and wasted my money on a popping gurgling useless piece of expensive, battery draining rubbish, it is a relief to be able to settle down and listen without constantly having to adjust the antennae. There is no frequency drift - the tuning stays true. Nearly all the stations available on digital can be picked up clearly on the two bands AW and FM, and certainly all the ones I'd want to listen to. The two D type batteries are cheap to buy and are still going strong after a month despite the radio being left on all night numerous times after falling asleep listening to Talk Sport twaddle, Radio 4 ramblings or Magic FM muttering. There is no mains option, but the portability that allows is what this little beauty is about. The cabinet is made of a reasonable grade of plastic and is ergonomically shaped with a finger recess for carrying short distances. A carrying strap is provided, but this would prove obtrusive and was discarded. The tuning and volume knobs on the front feel a little flimsy, but work smoothly enough with no crackle on the volume and no slack on the tuning. In conclusion, this radio comes highly recommended (and I'm not easily impressed). For general use about the home, garden, beach, camping etc, it is a much better and cheaper option than any DAB radio. Review: SONY ICF-F10 - I've been a radio enthusiast for over 50 years and as basic small radios go, I have to say this is a little gem. The sound quality is very good, this is mainly down to the fairly large speaker used and the vent at the back, which helps with the bass response. It's quite sensitive on both Medium Wave and on FM, although there is a drop off in sensitivity at the high frequency end of the MW band, between 1400 - 1600 kHz (or 1.4 - 1.6 MHz). The FM band is surprisingly good, with IMO a good AFC (automatic frequency control) level that is not to aggressive, unlike on the Sony SRF-59 which jumps onto adjacent stations like a magnet. The selectivity (the ability to separate close together stations) is not bad, given the price of the radio. A test I always do with all radios is to see if it can separate a station here in London, it broadcasts the same programme on the adjacent frequencies of 963 and 972 kHz - the radio did a fair job of separating the two frequencies. I was pleasantly surprised by the selectivity of the radio on FM. It's ability to tune to stations just 200 kHz apart without too many problems from adjacent frequencies, was quite surprising for a radio in this price range (well done Sony). Ok now for a couple of moans, let's make that three. 1. Why oh why Sony didn't you put the on/off switch on the volume control potentiometer, rather than on the band change switch - I hate it when they do that. 2. Why only a mono jack socket for the ear/headphones. I know the radio isn't stereo, but a stereo socket would allow stereo phones to be used without the need for a mono to stereo adaptor. 3. Why the silly shoulder strap, a simple lift up handle would have been so much more convenient. I know the radio is built to a price, but for just a few bob more, they could have added the above three items to make what is a great little radio into a super little radio - oh heck just buy a of Sony ICF-F10, they are great just as they are. ## Features - Small compact size with a convenient carry strap, works on batteries, makes this the perfect portable radio for some enjoyable time at home, the park, beach, picnics, gym or playroom - Easy-to-use cylinder type volume control and tuning knob with large AM/FM dial scale panel display - Ferrite bar telescopic swivel antenna that can be adjusted for excellent reception and a large 3.75" dynamic speaker for clear, high quality sound - Standard size headphone input jack for use with headphones not to disturb others around you or for additional speakers Dimensions: 5-1/4''H x 8''W x 2-1/2''D - Weight: 1 lb. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0081IKTN6 | | Antenna Location | Home, Park, Beach, Picnics, Gym, Playroom | | Box Contents | Earphone Jack, Hand Strap | | Brand | Sony | | Brand Name | Sony | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Earphone, Speaker | | Connectivity technology | Auxiliary | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 268 Reviews | | Display Technology | LED | | Display Type | analogue/analog | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Frequency | 108 MHz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00989898699827 | | Hardware Interface | Headphone | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 20.3L x 7.6W x 7.6H centimetres | | Item Weight | 454 g | | Manufacturer | Sony | | Manufacturer Part Number | ICF-F10 | | Model Number | ICF-F10 | | Network Connectivity Technology | Auxiliary | | Number of Batteries | 2 D batteries required. | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Product Features | Portable | | Product dimensions | 20.3L x 7.6W x 7.6H centimetres | | Radio Bands Supported | 2 tire | | Special feature | Portable | | Style Name | Compact | | Tuner Type | AM, FM | | Tuner technology | AM , FM | | UPC | 989898699827 696720709905 696720709981 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Sony - **Colour:** Black - **Connectivity technology:** Auxiliary - **Included components:** Earphone Jack, Hand Strap - **Power source:** Battery Powered - **Product dimensions:** 20.3L x 7.6W x 7.6H centimetres - **Radio bands supported:** 2 tire - **Special feature:** Portable - **Style:** Compact - **Tuner technology:** AM, FM ## Images ![Sony ICF-F10 Two 2 Band FM/AM Portable Battery Transistor Radio - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71n5AsbpfJL.jpg) ![Sony ICF-F10 Two 2 Band FM/AM Portable Battery Transistor Radio - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61T1P2+ZgZL.jpg) ![Sony ICF-F10 Two 2 Band FM/AM Portable Battery Transistor Radio - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710kloydVWL.jpg) ![Sony ICF-F10 Two 2 Band FM/AM Portable Battery Transistor Radio - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ti-kfFa3L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: does it run on mains as well as batteries?** A: No this Sony radio only runs on batteries. But they do last a long time. **Q: How does this radio swith on/off?** A: On the right hand side edge of the radio there if a small control which allows you to select off or freqency. Moving the control from off to frequency turns the radio on, moving the control to off turns it off. **Q: Does this Transistor Radio work in any other country?** A: Depends exactly what you mean I suppose: As it is an analogue tuner rather than a digital one, then I would imagine you would be able to tune in to radio broadcasts in the country you were in, unless they broadcast in digital format only. However if you mean could you pick up UK radio stations overseas, then no, unless you were very close to UK shores, such as in northern France. That being said, you may well be able to pick up the BBC's World Service in many countries further afield. **Q: what size batteries?** A: It takes two of the big fat batteries - type D. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than DAB *by R***D on 16 April 2014* The Sony F10 radio is a surprisingly good radio for the money.

I like the optional strap *by P***E on 11 November 2014* Appears to be very well made and looks good. I like the optional strap, handles are sometimes a nuisance. Pity about the ON/OFF switch combined with wave change. Excellent reception on both AM and FM. Sound quality good but not ideal for me owing to age related hearing loss I need a bit more power in the high frequences. Tone control might have helped. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sony ICF-F10 Two 2 Band FM/AM Portable Battery Transistor Radio - PRUNUS J-166 Portable Radio AM FM, Battery Operated Radio with Tuning Light, Back Clip, Excellent Reception, AM FM Radios Portable, Transistor Radios - Panasonic Portable AM / FM Radio, Battery Operated Analog Radio, AC Powered, Silver (RF-2400D) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/52898524-sony-icf-f10-two-2-band-fm-am-portable-battery](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/52898524-sony-icf-f10-two-2-band-fm-am-portable-battery) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-20*
