Needs a function key
This little radio has good sound and is versatile, with the arm band, neck strap and clip. The ear buds are a fine quality and the cords are long enough to accommodate however you transport it. I found it picked up stations well. Programming it to save stations is a bit awkward...but the biggest difficulty is that the power button doesn't actually turn the unit on or off. The radio comes on when the batteries are inserted, and cannot be turned off. This same button ( "power" button) has a secondary use--switching from one band to another ( AM, FM, clock) , but in reality, that is all it does. No manner of holding it down, double clicking, tandem clicking...turn the unit off. A few of the buttons are printed as though they have two uses, so what the unit needs is a function key like a calculator to activate the "other" use. I called customer service, wrote them as well, but nothing could be solved-- which makes me expect I'll either burn through batteries or have to remove them on each use. Other than that, it's a good size, weight, and does what I expected.

This was a Great Buy!!!
Works well and brings in stations from all around. It is easy to use, (even for an old guy like me). All controls are well marked and easy to use. I highly recommend this radio! Jon Millum

you get what you pay for
Not sure if it's the antennae or my area since I'm fairly new here but the FM reception is so /so and the AM reception almost non existent. Very inexpensive so don't expect a top of the line product.

Just what I was looking for!
This small and compact radio is just what I needed. It is simple to operate and gets good signal.

The armband radio is ok for the price.
Head phones ear plugs do not fit well and the foam covers have fallen off after very little usage.
