This is my third Radio Model 300v2289-01. First one the battery hatch door broke. Second one, the jack input came loose internally. Third time's a charm, maybe.
I liked that this has 20 presets. Only thing is I wish the button went up and down. It's a pain having to go through the whole list trying to get to a particular preset. The radio is light and easy to hold. And wears easy on the arm
I was impressed with the overall sound it delivers in my cheap headset (not the one included). The reception is very good. I also like to listen to the AM Band. With the BBS activated, it sounds great on an AM music station! Thanks!
I will I get plenty of use from this radio. I especially love the Bass Boost System feature. I love being able to listen as I workout. It's convenient as I can attach it to my arm and it's lightweight too.
The Good: Sounds okay, but I am not using the earbuds that it came with. The armband is a nice feature. 20 presets are a bit of an overkill, and I live near a large city. The price is very good. The Not So Good: Had a terrible time loading batteries because of the poor design of the compartment. On day 2 of owning it, it no longer would stay shut; had to wrap it with a large rubber band. It also goes through batteries (2 at a time) very quickly. Wish it had fewer presets with individual buttons. When you program a small number of presets, you have to scroll through all 20 presets to find your way back to the first one. I needed only 5, so I programmed them in order 4 times. When changing the batteries, you have to re-program the clock.
