Portable AM/FM radio review
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headset of this AM/FM radio is a bad design. It is very uncomfortable to wear behind the neck and too tight.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very disappointed. The earphones do not adjust. The preset does not allow the listener to go up and down through the preset radio stations (AM & FM). Instead, if one is listening to preset station #2 and wants to change to preset station #3, then the listener must go through preset stations #4 - #10 and then #1 before getting to preset #2. To hook the radio to a belt, the radio must be attached upside down.

Get what you pay for
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I paid $13, so the poor quality is to be expected. Sound is terrible and reception is poor. I do use on my hour run every morning, so it suffices. But compared to my discontinued Sony Walkman this is horrible.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendWorst radio ever !!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First Insignia radio only played out of one channel. Exchanged it ony to find the reception quality so poor as to be unusable....Horrible product. Good customer service though.....

Posted .Hello Loki,
We really do appreciate your preference on this radio, also it does come a shocker to me that the radio isn't receiving the reception it should be. The radio needs to be repaired as soon as possible, so please contact Insignia so that we can guide you on how to get the proper resolution.
