 "Good value for wht you pay" 2009-09-17
By Jennifer L. Perez
I was looking for a cheap portable radio for exercising (since ipods don't have AM/FM capabilities) and I found it in this item. It doesn't feel cheap but is still light enough to wear (armband) when running, walking or at the gym.

 "Pleased with this model." 2009-08-28
By Frank Richardson (Miami, Florida United States)
I bought it a few months ago and definitely I give it a good rating. The reception is acceptable and very easy to use. I found the preset function very useful. I use it in the beach and when I walk. I dislike to be with a large cable headphone and very easy you can entangled the cord around the base.

 "decent product" 2009-08-16

I have tried other radios for the gym and have not been happy, this is decent as far as reception and ease of use. reading other peoples reviews and explanation

in regards to the band made it easier to use. all in all I am happy especially for the price.I would reccomend this product

 "AM has no reception." 2009-06-25
By B. R. Bryan
I purchased this item to listen to the game on AM while at the gym. I was not able to get the local station to come in at the gym or at home. I tried while camping as well. I was not able to get any AM stations to come in anywhere. The FM side seemed to work great, but that is not what I bought it for. Other negative points are that you have to scan through all 10 preset to find the one you want, the volume is a little loud on the lowest setting, and the arm band is a little goofy at first to figure out.

 "Not so hot" 2009-06-17
By J. Kryl (Chicago, IL United States)
There are a number of problems with this radio. It's as if someone just slapped this together without any fore thought. For instance, the arm band has all the velcro on the same side. This means that when you wrap it around your arm, you have to twist it, or you end up with velcro on a smooth surface. My main problem is with the controls. In order to change channels, you have to cycle through the whole 10 presets in order. In other words, if you're on channel 2, and want to get to channel 1, you have to go from 3 through 10, and then to one. There is a button for the band, and you can just switch between the same two AM and FM channels, but if you listen to more than two, it takes an effort. If you're jogging or bicycling, it takes away from the fun. The sound isn't too bad, but nothing to write home about.
