Nice digital AM/FM for the price
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Use this radio every day while on treadmill. Very good reception in my area for 5-6 stations. Preset makes it simple to change stations. I purchased radio last month and the earphones stopped working last week. That was disappointing but I had other earbuds to use so not big issue for me. Still should last more than one month. Took off one star for this reason. I like the radio.
I would recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Price, Sound quality
Nice small size
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great price since the Am Fm personnel radios are getting sparce. I didn't want an antenna sticking out my pocket but didn't want to pay alot. Sounds fine, but reception isn't as good as my Sony that finally broke. Nice value. Store should stock more though.
I would recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Sound quality
Radio Excellent !! - Headphones Terrible!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this radio to use at the gym. The radio sound and display (with clock) is excellent. But the plastic band between the headphones is too short and tight, and I can't use it. (I'm a thin woman with a small head.) The armband is stiff and uncomfortable, but I never intended to use it. I am keeping the radio to use with my own earbuds, and am very pleased with it. But the accessories are a waste.
