These have to be the flimsiest radios with the worst reception around. If you only want to hear the monster megawatt station with top twenty, it will do. Everyone else, beware.

expecting big sound and good FM station reception, buy something else

Hey, this ain't no iPod! This is a cheapo-beapo radio. Basically, it is something to listen to on the bus or while working out that you wouldn't mind losing. In addition, the radio makes a nice stocking stuffer for pre-teens. I'd just advise that you get an extra one just in case you need to return a dud. Finally, because the on-off switch is the volume control as well, it is darned easy to leave this radio on and kill the battery. And the tuning is imprecise. Geez, maybe I should rate it two stars... ;-)

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.

I had this radio for several years and basically listened to baseball games on AM, so I can't comment on the FM quality. It worked great for my purpose and was very lightweight and convenient to hang around my neck. Unfortunately, I just lost the radio and will most likely replace it with another one! I always used my own headphones, so I don't know about the ones that come with the radio. Still....the price is right!

DONT BUY THIS PRODUCT IF YOU INTEND TO GIVE IT TO ANYONE , OR FOR THAT MATTER EVEN YOURSELF, IN THIS AGE OF HITECH ITEMS THIS GOES BACK TO THE DARK AGES, NOT ONLY CHEAP BUT IT BROKE IN 5 MINUTES,

The size and convenience of the product is very nicely designed. The sound is not at good as larger and more expensive products, but that is to be expected. Since I just purchased it, I do not know what the future problems will be but so far I am quite pleased with the overall quality and convenience of the radio for my use in commuting.

This is a pretty good radio for the price. It's small and can be worn around the neck. I would buy it again.

The headphones(ear piece) stopped transmitting any noise after a couple of days. I wanted to use it at work , where I only could hear it.

amazon said this radio use AA battery, but actually it use AAA battery! i need buy new battery!
