Posted by: baseballfanatic2013 from central, ca on 05/03/2013my husband and i were looking for an AM radio to take to the ball game with us so we could listen to our favorite announcers. This was the only choice, and so not bad for the money spent. It served it's purpose and was lightweight and easily fit in the backpack.

OK For Use Intended
3
Posted by: Sly2 from Pearl City, HI on 02/09/2013This is a compact AM/FM radio with a useable arm-band attachment that makes it practical for use while jogging or working out. The included wrap-around headphones are quite comfortable and have fairly good sound quality. But radio station reception is marginal at best and fades in and out as your direction changes.

Should have tried Sony

Posted by: from chicago, il on 01/21/2013BB salesman said - with Sony you are just paying more for the name.
While this may be true, it is also possible that they make a superior
product.

Cheaply made
1
Posted by: LennyK from Lockport, IL on 09/05/2012The unit fit nice. After the first month it would stop working (display would be gone). I had to extract the batteries and reset them to get all to work....losing all my presets! This has happened several times.
Perhaps I will be more than price driven on my next purchase of this type of product instead of trusting the brand.

Should have bought the Sony
1
Posted by: ernie14 from North Aurora, IL on 01/09/2012I was replacing a Sony armband radio and didn't need the extra features it had, since I primarily only use the am band when I'm working out. I bought the more basic and cheaper Insignia and I got what I less than what I paid for. The reception is terrible and the sound quality, even with the better headphones I purchased is lousy. Spend the extra and get the Sony.

Insignia NS-R5111 AM/FM Arm Band Radio Review
5
Posted by: Computerhobbyist from NY on 08/02/2011Acoustic Simplicity. Sonic Perfection. Superior Design. Overachievement to the max. Economical Price. These are just some of the characteristics that make the Insignia NS-R5111 AM/FM Stereo Arm Band Radio a formidable contender in the portable audio universe. This unit’s performance and feature set is consistent and commensurate with some of the more expensive AM/FM portable radios on the market. The Insignia radio features a rugged body construction, excellent radio reception, quality headphones, and a convenient arm band for comfortable placement of this unit during the morning exercise routine. This portable presents all of the amenities and comforts that a radio or exercise enthusiast would want. My particular model sports an attractive and bright yellow appearance that always reminds me of a beautiful summer day. The Insignia radio offers ergonomically positioned controls, AM/FM reception, and a water-resistant design for private listening sessions while sitting poolside or relaxing at the beach. This unit’s hold feature is extremely useful as I know that the great song I’m listening to won’t be disturbed by an accidental button press or if this radio suffers a slight fall to the ground. The LCD display gives me much needed time, station, and preset number information instantly, so that I can make an accurate station selection as circumstances require. The included stereo headphones fit snugly on my ears and offer a fatigue-free listening experience. The Insignia NS-R5111 arm band radio’s preset tuning feature is by far this portable’s best attribute. It’s very convenient to skip from station to station at the press of a button to find the best programming on at the current moment. This portable radio does a fine job for news, sports, talk, and weather broadcasts on the AM band. I don’t notice too much noise or the need to reorient the radio to get high quality reception for my favorite AM stations. Late night AM DX reception is possible with this portable as long as suitable atmospheric conditions are present. FM stereo reception is clear and consistently very good. The music comes in with great fidelity and with solid bass performance. The Insignia arm band radio features a headphone cord FM antenna that pulls in all the FM stations that I need or care for. FM stereo reception is always dependable, with accurate results both at home and outdoors. This unit demonstrates better than average sensitivity and selectivity broadcast AM/FM reception performance for this product category. The Insignia portable radio operates on two AAA batteries. I can’t recommend the batteries that are included with this unit. In my view, Duracell Ultra or Energizer Max alkaline batteries extract the most battery life and audio performance from this handsomely designed Insignia portable radio. The Insignia NS-R5111 AM/FM radio includes the following step-up portable features: digital AM/FM tuner, AM frequency range: 530-1710 kHz, FM frequency range: 87.5-107.9 MHz, FM stereo/mono reception, 20 AM/FM stations presets, 3.5mm headphone jack, stereo headphones, headphone cord FM antenna, built-in AM ferrite bar antenna, LCD display, digital clock, hold feature, battery life indicator, water-resistant, wearable oval design, power, preset, stereo/time set, memory, band selection, volume up, volume down, preset tuning/manual seek tuning controls, volume level indicator, belt clip, arm band, 2 AAA battery operation, battery compartment, and operating instructions. The Insignia NS-R5111 arm band radio features the following dimensions: Height: 4-3/10”, Width: 2-1/5”, Depth: 1”, and Weight: 4.2 ounces. The Insignia NS-R5111 AM/FM portable radio also includes a 90 day parts and labor limited manufacturer warranty. The Insignia portable radio is just a joy to use. I believe that your acquisition of the Insignia AM/FM Arm Band Radio will bring you a high quality personal audio experience for many years to come. Good Luck. Enjoy.
