My grandmother bought me this item (in color black) for Christmas and I am listening to it right now. I have tuned it to a radio station here in Oregon where I am on vacation visiting all of my family and they are playing various piano music. Thank you! It is small and the neck strap is handy for riding buses. The strap is conveniently not a band (Width bigger than depth) so it does not cut into/scar your neck. My previous ipod's strap created a red mark unless I wore high-collared shirts.

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.

You get what you pay for, it's cheap in price and extremely cheap in quality. It only recieves the strongest stations. In a building the reception goes almost all static unless your next to a window. I finally got rid of mine and bought a pricier pocket radio with better reception.

This is a small, lightweight radio. It's quite stylish, "cute" and available in eyecatching colours. It's definitely cheap. However, radio reception is poor, batteries are not included, the neck lanyard is annoying and construction is as cheap as the price. I cannot fault this product: it's a reasonable analogue radio. However, it is completely useless since it neither receives the channels I want to listen to, nor does it tune easily to other channels, nor does it hold those once it does. In short, I have to buy another radio with a digital tuner, perhaps one that prevents drift and certainly one with a better antenna.
