Teensy and very portable. Has AM band. I bought this as stupid Diamond entertainment/ Comcast made no deal with our baseball team, the MN Twins, so we can only listen to them on a local AM radio station. They did this to other teams, too, and as we're considered a small market, we don't see them on the major stations. Good sound on my headphones, even has a clock and alarms. Having a bit of trouble with volume control, tho'.

Easy to use, has minimum power drain from AAA batteries, receives even lower powered FM signals well. Would be nice if the headphone connector were more secure, though, AND the on-off button is MUCH too sensitive.

Display not Readable

The display is barely readable and after about 5 hours of use it is unreadable. Even with new batteries the display numbers are greyish ... definitely not the bright white as image shows. The volume buttons are loose ... you have to hit just the right spot or no change.
Very unhappy and unfortunately I didn't start using it until about 20 days after I picked it up so they tell me I can't even return it. I have purchased a few arm band radios from Best Buy and this is the 1st one that is NOT good. The only good this is the armband although it is almost too long for the thickeness of my arm.

I bought two for my son who owns a landscape business. He’s not high tech so he loves these. Great sound and small enough to put into his pocket. He’s happy

I use it to listen to the local radio broadcast at sporting event in order to avoid the 10 second delay when I attend the game live.
The reception and volume are decent but it uses a lot of AAA battery power. I have to change the batteries often.

Its product was used for a drive in movie and it worked flawlessly. I have also been using it on runs and it’s so comfortable on my arm. It’s easy to use and worth the price.

I find the sound is very tinny. The ear plugs are useless, so I use other ear plugs. it is next to impossible for me to preset stations -- something is lost in the instructions. I've owned many of this type of device over the years and have had pretty good luck with them. It's hard to find good headsets anymore to replace those that have worn out. I would pay for more quality like I used to be able to find. Also, seems to use up batteries very quickly.
