Rating: Summary: Works for me! Review: I just returned a headset radio that cost twice as much, because it didn't receive the FM station I want. This RCA is sweet and simple and my station comes in loud and clear. I'm very pleased!
Rating: Summary: Great sound and good reception Review: I love it! I get great, clear sound and the reception is very good. I use it to walk in a fitness center and it has cinder block walls. The reception is just fine. Highly recommend it.
Rating: Summary: Not impressed Review: I picked up this unit 'cause it seemed most highly regarded in its class here on Amazon. The thing is not a very impressive little toy, IMHO. I keep it on MONO all the time in order to cut down on static from bad reception. Even the most powerful stations (e.g. KQED in the SF bay area) are regularly interrupted by static. The reception is simply poor. Everything else about it seems okay- I even think the sound is pretty good when it comes in (and I can be picky about that). Since I use this for walking the dog, I expect it to come to an unfortunate early demise. At that time I plan to try something else.
Rating: Summary: bought 2, retuned 2 Review: In the last review, the kid should have opened the windows of the van to let the smoke out. Bought 2 of those because of the digital format- nice feature. Returned them both as they didn't work. Available at Walgrens for $21.95. Keep the receipt.
Rating: Summary: Nice...but... Review: It's great for what you pay for it. The radio works most of the time, but I noticed that the headphones were HORRIBLE. If you buy this (and it IS great for walking outside...but not indoors) be prepared to invest in some different headphones. There was some static, but not so much that it bothered me. Overall, a nice, pocket-sized radio made for people who are not looking for professional-sounding music.

Rating: Summary: Good AM - Bad FM Review: The FM tuner is pretty insensitive, but the sound quality is OK if you live near a strong FM signal.
However, the AM tuner is quite good.
Unfortunately, I'm primarily an FM fan and will be looking for another radio.
ALso, after owning this for about 3 months, there appears to be a short in the headphone cord.
Rating: Summary: Very nice for the price. Review: This is a very nice little personal radio for the price. I use it at the gym and in other situations and am very happy with it. A totally pleasant little product, in my opinion. (You may prefer to get regular earbuds, as I did.)
Rating: Summary: Very nice for the price. Review: This is a very nice little product for the price. I can't say, as some here do, that it has exceptional reception (it does not). However, I use this little radio at the gym and in other situations and am very, very happy with it. I've also dropped it on cement more than once, yet it hasn't missed a beat. A totally pleasant little product, in my opinion. (You may prefer to get regular earbuds, as I did.)
Rating: Summary: Good but minor annoyances. Review: Very directional reception on weaker stations - if you turn a corner, the sound fades. Tuning/memory buttons are over sensitive. Too easy to actuate by accidental movement when walking or jogging. Can be very annoying to have to stop and reset. But on the whole I've had a lot of good use from it.
