    If your a spectator sports nut as much as I am, you'll love this portable digital radio. When I go to a baseball, football, or basketball game I like to listen to the live radio broadcast as well as see it live. This radio can also go on the road on your arm or belt and comes with a behind the ear headphone so it doesn't bother your hair or cap. The sound is very good for the low price.

    It has a good sound except is weak on some AM stations at times. It's a good value and the second time I've purchased this product. I use it at the gym and it's great for that.

    Used radio for walking and it picks up the local stations well. I didn't use the supplied earphones and instead used the ear buds. Setting the stations to the preset button was relatively easy. Time will tell if this radio holds up in the long term.

    Bought on sale for $10.00, what a buy! Works well enough, and reception is good. Headphones are super as they are designed to hook over the ear and they will not just drop out like in-the ear designs.

    It is perfect for when I walk. It clips on to my waste band. It is simple to use. The sound is usually pretty good though occasionally there is some static. That is easy to live with because of it's other qualities.

    Arm band extremely uncomfortable

    Overall, I am happy. The radio works really well, is easy to program, easy to use and has simple features which is what I was looking for. The headset that it comes with is very comfortable. My only issue is the arm band. It's like a slapstick bracelet and unless your bicep is the size of a child's wrist, it's going to dig into your skin. There is a velcro strap to make it fit bigger arms but the hard part will still dig unless you put something under it like a sweat band or cut off sock. I'm sure that it will be more comfortable in cooler weather over top of a sweatshirt. There is a clip to attach to your waistband, which might work better but I have not tried that yet.

    Love the radio. Size and quality is great. Do not like to use arm band. Use it while gardening listening to sf giants. The belt clip sucks. Constantly falling off but hasn't damaged radio yet.

    I wasn’t very keen on getting this radio; but when I opened it and tried it; it is the best little radio for me. I use it while I work and I have my hands free. I used to have a Sony little radio and it doesn’t compare to this at all. And it is not expensive at all.Thank you.

    nice radio. Allows you to scan through the radio channels and tube in your favorite stations. And you can save your presets for quick reference. Sound quality is fair for the price you pay for this unit. Headphones are decently comfortable to wear all day long and pretty light.

    Inexpensive little battery radio. Wrist clip is handy. Great radio for local stations. At first I thought it didn't work, but there are TWO on/ off switches. One locks everything (for jogging etc) so that has to be OFF for tuning, vol, etc to work.

    The clarity of the FM channels is amazing. There is no static and I am getting great enjoyment from being able to walk around and even exercise while listening. This proves that you don't have to spend a lot of money to get the enjoyment that one deserves. Great product. Well worth the price.

    I bought this radio to replace my old one that up and quit on me. I use this while I’m walking. The reception and sound are good. I use this almost daily. I love it and the price was reasonable. I have had other brands and they weren’t as good. They did not last long.
