I like the radio. The armband stays in place while I jog and I like the fact that I can program my favorite stations and the sound is good. I generally get good reception except, as with any radio I suppose, you will get static around some gym workout equipment. So, all in all, I'm happy with it.
Great vallllue for the money. Reception can be a little fuzzy at times.Stays put on arm while jogging.
This item is better than the Sony SRF-M37V. It has better reception, especially in the hills of the Los Angeles area. I don't need iPods, since I want live NPR and DJs. Currently, the number of such "walkman-like" electronics devices is far smaller than was the case ten or twelve years ago, and I don't know anything better, yet this item is also probably discontinued.
Out in the open air this radio is fine. But I bought it to use on an above-ground commuter train. Very poor reception on major AM stations and I frequently have to twist it one way or another as the train moves along to hear anything at all, and even worse reception inside my office building. If you need a radio for indoor or in-train/bus use, this is not the one.
I tried this in downtown Seattle where I ride my bike from the ferry up to pill hill. It get's very poor reception until up on the hill. I have a 10 year old analog GPX AM/FM receiver which works fine in the same area. The headset ear buds hurt my ears so much I can only wear it for a 10 to 20 minutes.
