I do not own this, but my friend does. He says he never uses it becuase of it has poor sound quality and the radio doesn't come in well.

So, I tried it and turned it on. I couldn't agree more with him. The sound quality is just horrible. 0 bass, and screeching treble.

The radio is basically useless. It can barely come in on any station and the knob is hard to configure due to this.

The shower radio can't even go in the shower. It says is not recommended to keep near humid areas. Huh? Is this a shower radio?

Really, he wished he spent more money on the Sony one (which I heard was an excellent shower radio, that could ACTUALLY be near a shower), or had spent less money on an equally dissappointing one.

I recommend the Sony one. I haven't seen Panasonic, Philips, Koss, or anyone else making shower radios. So, I think the Sony is your best bet. As for the Jensen, stay away!

I've had this radio for a few months and I'm currently shopping for a new one! The sound quality isn't bad at low volume, but when you turn it up high enough to hear over the shower noise, it gets so distorted you can't hear a thing. Totally worthless for music, FM talk is ok, but I can only understand about 50% of what's said because of the distortion. AM reception is practically non-existant.

Thought I would go for a cheap alternative to the sony. Big mistake. It might not work too bad when you are out of the shower, but it is not near loud enough to be heard over the shower. I ended up selling it for $2 at a garage sale. I even felt a little bad getting that much for it.

It is the worst shower radio i've ever had. It doesn't get any reception on the AM stations and the FM stations you can bearly understand.

Can I give it 0 stars? Just don't buy this product. It doesnt work well. Try another brand. DW

For the price this is a decent radio. However reception for me was not to good. It could just be my location. But, I ended up adding a separate antenna to this unit. I purchased the antenna a Radio Shack and just spliced it into the small internal antenna. It now gets great reception with the 30" antenna.
I gave it 3 stars because I would assume pretty much all small radios with internal antennas will get poor reception if they aren't modded. Battery life is good using it every day I would guess they last about 3 or 4 months.
