    I really like the digital AM/FM radio and headset. It entertains me during workouts at the gym. It also comes in handy when doing some yardwork. I must also add, it comes at very reasonable price at Best Buy!

    We purchased this item for my 86yo, hearing aid wearing dad. He was attending a large speaking event in a venue that had horrible acoustics (even for sometime with good hearing). He was able to tune in to a local radio station and listen clearly through the headphones.

    I overall like this little radio in fact I ordered several of them it gets great reception and gets great sound quality and it doesn’t take much volume power however the Walkman I got for some reason the digital screen is not working properly the printing is kind of broken up for whatever the reason but I still like it it’s a nice cheap radio I don’t think I’d pay $20 for it I think I’ll try to get it for the $10 that I got it for. But otherwise it’s great.

    I've gone through several Sony pocket radios and loved them until their recent discontinuance. This Insignia is a pretty good substitute. Simple to use and pretty good reception.

    The Insignia Portable Digital AM/FM Radio is perfect! I just slip it on and am able to work outside or inside while listening to my favorite talk show or music without worrying that it will break. Sound quality is good and the product is quite durable. Love it!

    I purchased this unit to take to high school and university football games so that I could listen to the game announcers play-by-play. I have purchased other Insignia products before that don't always live up to expectation but this unit has exceeded any past experiences.

    I had an old Sony armband radio that finally went bad. I like to listen to standard radio while I exercise, so I wanted another armband radio. I found that they are not that common anymore- I guess most people listen to their mp3's on their phone or ipod these days. Anyhow, I found this radio at Best Buy and it's perfect for me. The reception gets a bit of static in the background, but other than that, is fine. A great find and a fair price.

    My husband likes to listen to local radio stations while he walks and and wants to wear headphones! Go figure, but he's happy with this! Had an issue with not being to turn it off without removing the batteries at the end of the walk a couple of times, but it seems fine now.
