Summary: Poor battery life
Review: Maybe I just got a lemon, but the battery only lasted about 2 weeks and I was only using it about 2 hrs/week. As you can imagine, this was extremely frustrating...so I tossed it in the trash at the gym. The sound quality was fine, and it was tiny, but I couldn't get over it never working.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It works well enough
Review: Koss Armband is cheap but works like it costs three times its price. Nice design, above average recption, and strong body are what made it attractive to me.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Overall great product but ear pieces not sweat resistant
Review: I use this product for almost any outdoor activiy from yardwork to running. Features are convenient particularly when you have one hand on the lawn mower,weedeater, etc... I live fairly far from most of the radio towers in the area and reception is good. Which I can not say for the Sony radio this Koss replaced. The clock is a geat feature for those who do not like to wear a watch when excercising. The earpieces are a little odd, but once in place they are secure. If you sweat a lot, the sound will diminish significantly when the earpieces get wet. For the price, you really can't beat this radio. But be ready to buy a different headset of you are prone to sweat.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GET THIS PRODUCT!
Review: I have been using the Koss AM-FM Armband radio for about half a year now. I am satisfied with it. Sound, casing, ease of use, and cool design are what endeared it to me. BUY IT!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Koss is simply a good radio
Review: I work as an in-house service technician at Best Buy. Our store chains carry only three brands of armband digital AM/FM radio: Sony, Panasonic and Koss. I must say that these three work similarly though there are differences in price. Koss is the cheapest but like I said, it operates just like the other two. We easily run out of stock in a month's time for Koss, which also happens in a Target store near us. I dont get any commission for saying this guys but....I highly recommend the Koss AM/FM Digital Armband Radio to all sports guys out there.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I agree with the other reviews
Review: I agree with the other reviews: the Koss Armband works as good (if not better) than the Sony one. I ask myself: why then does the Sony have to cost much more?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Clear sound!
Review: This tyke of a radio by Koss sure comes with clear sound. Both AM and FM bands have strong receptions to radio stations. I love using it when I go biking and jogging.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's my hiking pal
Review: I use the Koss armband radio in all of my weekly hikes in the mountains of North California. Somehow, my radio managed to withstand the elements and the shocks from all that trailing. Less than $30 bought me this rugged and dependable hiking pal.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't buy this
Review: This was a terrible purchase for me. The reception is bad, the sound is not clear and my belt clip broke after three months. If you are active and need your clip, or if you want to hear and enjoy what is being played on the radio - DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Im getting eight of these for my team!
Review: Im a coach for an endurance run team of eight. After weeks of testing with the cooperation of our electronic store (a sponsor of our team), experimenting with Sony, Panasonic, Aiwa and finally Koss, I made a choice. All performed well. I chose Koss because of the price, which was cheaper by at least $...! It just made sense. Koss works as good as the four more popular brands but costs less. Im getting eight more units for my team.
