Not a disappointment
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The design of the radio is great. It is sleek and I'm able to tuck it in my pocket without affecting any buttons. The lock feature works well and is large enough to lock any functions in place. My disappointment is signal strength when indoors. There are spots that reception is lost and gained when I position myself. Outdoors the reception is great. I only tune two stations and losing reception can really affect my listening. This radio uses two AAA batteries. My previous brand only used one. This is a power hog and I go through some batteries in a short period of time. My prior brand gave an indication that the battery was depleted. This model goes static and the display goes blank. I thought it was a reception problem, but not the case Would be a great radio if not for those faults.

Great pocket radio for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the cost, size and sound of this radio. AM and FM reception are very good for its size. I use the radio several hours a day while walking my dog. I do suggest you get the extended service guarantee since I had to have it replaced a few times but it may be due to lots of use. Best Buy has replaced it with a smile.

replacement for walkman
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My old Sony am fm Walkman broke. Wish it was still made, it fit great in a jacket pocket for walks. This is a little larger but still fits in a pocket, I don't use the arm band or headphones that came with it. The reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the volume even at it's lowest is still too high for me. It was easy to use and set stations.

Good value
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Generally good, but not great reception, . . . but what do you expect for under $20? Still, it has better reception than other low priced similar sized AM/FM radios I have owned. Also the digital controls and memory for favorite stations and the digital clock are attractive pluses in such an inexpensive radio.

Great for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price this is a great little radio. I bought it for my husband as he likes to listen to AM talk radio on our morning. He has only been using for about a month and said both the AM and FM stations come in great and sound is also great.

Fun to play with.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Loved it. Could read the digital read out well. I moved about very freely when placed in big pant pocket or coat pocket. Would be better wireless because I kept getting the headphone wires stuck on something. Sound O.K. for Talk radio; not really Hi-Fidelity.

Portable Digital AM/FM Radio

Good AM/FM portable radio
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to use, wanted it to listen to AM radio and some FM radio when outside doing tasks or at a ballgame to listen to radio broadcast. Cheap plastic and could have a better switch to turn/lock on/off.

Good Portable Radio
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking to replace my older SONY portable digital AM/FM radio. It seems that my choices are now limited. I spotted this Insignia digital AM/FM and purchased it. It is a good portable radio that I basically use to do outdoor work such as lawn cutting, raking and snow shoveling. Not bad for the price.

Decent armband radio.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The armband radio is light and captures stations decent. The headband that comes with it is small and does not have very good sound. Have tons of earbuds that are being used with it. There is a slight hiss to all tuned stations, not super bad bud there nonetheless.

Does the job but eats batteries
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These little radios are increasingly hard to find. This one has decent sound quality, esp if you upgrade to your own earbuds, but it goes through batteries like crazy. I listen at night before bed and have to change batteries every few days.
