So, all in all, I'm happy with it. I generally get good reception except, as with any radio I suppose, you will get static around some gym workout equipment. 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.
Reception can be a little fuzzy at times.Stays put on arm while jogging. Great vallllue for the money.
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. I don't need iPods, since I want live NPR and DJs. This item is better than the Sony SRF-M37V. It has better reception, especially in the hills of the Los Angeles area.
If you need a radio for indoor or in-train/bus use, this is not the one. 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. Out in the open air this radio is fine. But I bought it to use on an above-ground commuter train.
The headset ear buds hurt my ears so much I can only wear it for a 10 to 20 minutes. I have a 10 year old analog GPX AM/FM receiver which works fine in the same area. 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.
