I've had my radio for about three years now and it's a pretty good value. The radio is quite light and is easy to carry while exercising. It comes with a belt clip or a special cord which allows you to hang the radio from your neck. Radio reception is pretty good on both AM and FM. Battery life is pretty good.
The included earphones are adequate, but you may find them to be a little uncomfortable for long periods of time as they are not "sculpted" to the shape of the ear. I personally use my own.
Overall, due to its light weight and good radio reception, this radio is highly recommended if you like to listen to the radio while exercising.

This radio's size makes it easy to carry and use. The tuning wheel is, however, quite small and I found it hard to tune in to a station and get the best reception. I also found that having the tuner on the top meant that I would move it inadvertantly as I moved. In the future, I think I will go with a digital set.

I bought this radio and I have two suggestions for other buyers. Go for radios with digital tuning. I find it tough to tune with this analog system. I hear 2 stations at the same time often. Also the earphones are not very comfortable.

I bought 3 of those to present to someone as a gift but I am really disappointed with this item. Not clear reception with too much of static. Do not waste yoour money in this item.

You have to move the dial really really slowly to pick up any stations. Plus the connection with the headphones doesn't work so most of the time, if you can get a station, you can't hear it anyway. I'm just going to throw it out and keep the headphones as an extra set.
