My gym broadcasts cardio-area TV sound over FM. The digital tuning and 10 presets work perfectly in this environment. The small size is great too. But there's no speaker & headset isn't included. Watch the battery level, there's no audible warning! I charge about every 3-4 days with cardio workout use at the gym only.

I used to have a Sanza Fuze that I used at work for FM radio. It died, a painful death. Using my phone for radio was annoying, due to spotty reception and frequent station announcements. I found this and couldn't be happier with it. The controls aren't that well marked and I generally only listen to one station (NPR) so it's not that big of an issue for me. The lithium ion batter is great, I can listen for 12 hours and still have enough juice to listen another day.

Most reviews have complained about battery life. I had the previous model and it lasted two years even though I did not follow faithfully my recommendation to drain battery totally. Some reviewers of this new model say their batteries lasted only a few months. I suspect this is because they were charging too often.
I let my new one always drain until it stops playing, and I trust this will extend the battery life to its maximum.
I use it daily at the gym. and it makes the minutes go by quicker!!

Good replacement for old walkman. gets HD channels, which is a plus. Rechargable, so I don't have to buy batteries. Not sure how long it will stay charged, though.

I bought this product because I wanted an HD radio that wasn't subject to data and programming restrictions like I have come across with streaming radio on my phone. Although I'm a 90s kid, I prefer radio calls with the Giants and Jets games than I do listening to Joe Buck droning on like he always does on TV. I wanted something affordable that didn't produce shotty sound with constant static or white noise. I wanted a clear, HD sound and something that had a digital tuner rather than trying to rotate a dial around manually to try and find a sweet spot for a radio station. This product gave me all of what I was looking for and I am completely satisfied with the product. So now when I'm raking the leaves or exercising, I bring this little guy with me and I can hear every radio call of a sports game clearly and without any static. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a radio of this sort.

This is my second radio from Insignia. The battery in the old one finally died after 2 years. The new model is bigger than the one in the picture. I don't know why they felt the need to rearrange the buttons but at least the display is the same. Unfortunately they got rid of the MUTE function that I used all the time when coworkers talk to me or the phone rings.

Very impressive HD Radio, and it's tiny! It does a great job, with the included ear buds, for picking up stations, but longer cords may hinder reception, so other headsets with 3 feet or slightly less should do fine.

I'd never wanted a portable radio before, but bought this one to mask noise at the gym.
It does more than that: it delivers an excellent quality of sound, with extreme simplicity of operation.
Might make a convert of someone who doesn't believe that high audio quality can come in such a small package.

Upgrade from previously owned HD Radio from same company, which, after two and a half years, had no sound while retaining the ability to display channel changes. The previous product was difficult and time-consuming to turn on and off; this product allows this to be done easily.
