    Taking in count the price of this Armband Radio, it is above average quality. To mention here, the headphones are not the best. Swapping them would contribute into better listening experience. It is a straight forward radio that allow you to listen to all available free channels available in your area. Reception is average and kind of above. No issues when outdoors but kind of white noise sometimes when indoors. Swapping headphones also might get you better reception. Battery life is ok so far (after about 10 hours listening) it is still working. The radio receiver is very light weight. Not bothering while moving. The buttons and their functions are also simple and easy to use. It looks like Memorex could have made it smaller (by size). Would make it more stylish as well. I didn't like the headphones came with it so I connected my Samsung ones to it and they made a big difference. What is very good about this radio, the price and the capability. You won't get very upset if it get lost or stolen... In the same time, you have a nice experience getting outside. I'd recommend it for any body not planning to have high definition like experience. Just what the essential.

    Was a good product but unfortunately wasn’t what I needed. Should have read more about this. If this would have been what I needed I definitely would buy;

    This stylish AM/FM radio is designed to be worn on your arm, using the included adjustable armband. That makes it great for use while running, walking or doing other forms of exercise. And it has a much richer sound,than you might expect at this low price point. Batteries are included so you can get up and running quickly without having to dig around to find the correct batteries. It comes with three sizes of ear buds to choose from to insure a good fit. You can preset your favorite stations for ease in switching from one to the other without having to go through all of the stations to get around. The LCD display includes a digital clock as well as the radio station you're tuned to, And there's even an alarm. So, in summary, you get a lot for a small price.

    The design flaw that forces you to push forward - as many as 20 presets to get to a lower preset is a deal breaker, So unless you have only one station you want to listen to or if you listen to stations sequentially (not likely), you are advised to make another buying choice.

    I listen to AM radio for a few hours every day. I bought this Memorex just incase my Sony Walkman starts to have problems. The AM reception on this Memorex is horrible, so I will be returning it to the store.

    It would serve better as a door stop than a radio. I could not get a powerful station only 30 miles away! I tossed it in the garbage and rued my waste of money.

    Unit has a poor and/or poorly placed antenna. When wearing and moving about the reception cuts in and out, mostly out. Wore twice and put in trash bin.
