Summary: Excellent workout radio
Review: This radio is great for workout and other active listening (walking, hiking, etc.). It weighs less and is smaller than its competitors, and the buttons are easy to toggle when your focus is on other things. The velcro arm strap works fine. I found the reception to be well above average and better than the Sony I owned previously. I didn't find tuning into TV stations at the gym a problem as some other reviews report, so that may be a case by case problem independent of the radio itself. I found the battery life to be excellent (especially when using name brand batteries--instead of the ones that come with it). The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the headphones are slightly cumbersome. They fit OK, but are not as comfortable as others I've tried. However, I wouldn't shy away from purchasing this radio because of the headphones. You get used to them... I would buy the Panasonic again if the need arises....

Summary: Great radio, but uncomfortable headphones
Review: This radio is great. Working out is a lot more fun while listening to music, and this radio doesn't get in the way because it just attaches to my arm. Also, it looks cool, I get good reception, it stays snug on my arm, it's light-weight, and it has a lock switch that prevents me from accidently draining the battery. The only problem is that the headphones are extremely uncomfortable. The plastic pieces that go in your ears are too big for me. I had to go out and buy some Sony headphones that were more comfortable.
