I purchased this so I could have a small personal radio to take on walks or to the drive-in, etc. However, I've found it to be incredibly disappointing. The reception is fine, but the sound quality is terrible, even while using good earbuds (the ones that come with the radio are useless). There is a constant "white noise" and it often crackles if the wire or jack is moved (which happens all the time on a walk/run), even though the jack itself is snug. On loud or "busy" songs, the speakers often clip, even on the lowest volume setting. Speaking of volume, control on that front is also an issue. The settings work on levels rather than with a dial, and the lowest setting is still louder than my preferred headphone volume, making it uncomfortable to use. Finally, the armband is so big that I can't tighten it around my arm (I'm an average adult female). Overall a complete waste of money.
I purchased this radio on Friday and I’m glad I did. I use it while walking to listen to my favorite morning show. It is light weight, compact, and easy to use.
