Need Walkman with BEST FM reception.

I sit at a computer all day at work and I listen to the radio on my walkman while I work. But reception sucks in the building. What walkman (or small-ish battery opperated radio) has the BEST FM reception.

BTW - I can't listen to internet radio because they don't have sound cards (or drivers).

Just FYI: The FM antenna is built into the headphones' cord, not the walkman. The AM antenna is in the walkman itself.

In that case what HEADPHONES should I use to get the best FM reception?

Or is there a small radio with a good external FM antenna?

I've been thinking about getting the Sony CD player with Am/FM as mentioned above. Is this a good model and worth the 70 bucks?

Also how long is the ESP on it? They never seem to say how long it is. They just give it a fancy name.

Try the Sangean DT110, I hear it gets great reception. This is just a am/fm only player, and cant play cd's or even tapes. But if you just need radio, this is a good one to pick up .

DT110
