I bought this item 2 weeks ago to listen to the radio and it has been working perfectly fine and I have had no issues with it. I would recommend anyone buying this if they want to have a quick way to listen to the radio or music.
Removed the product from the package, inserted batteries and the radio would not turn on. Tested batteries(good); re-inserted and tried again, still nothing. Insereted different batteries, same results! Reversed the polarity of the batteries, same result. The radio would not turn on right from the package.
I both this a few months ago to use at work. It's a great little radio! I prefer earphones with the rubber ear piece so I don't use the earphones that came with it. It's small enough that I can put it in my pocket. I really like that. I don't use the wristband. Maybe if it was more like a watch band I would. I really do like the radio itself and it's sound is really good.
I bought this about a month ago because I am an old school type of person. I love the ear phones and the way they fit. I was surprised to see the extra head phone rubbers that came with it. I guess the only thing that bugs me is the square that is in the arm band the keeps going long ways. I think an oval one would be a better choice for the as it wouldn't bunch up. I guess I am afraid it might wear through the elastic, and I will have to make something else that will work. I am 65 and going back to the gym and don't want a phone around me.
