I bought this for $6, at a brick-n-mortar store. It was amusing and quirky at that price. At $10, there are much better deals for quality tuning, like the Sony and Panasonic pocket am/fm radios. Oddly enough, the build quality was OK, the tuning bezel was very stable, and the earphones were OK for the cost, driven with mono sound across both L/R, which is fine. The fm tuning was wide and not very sensitive. The AFC grabbed some station on most of the dial, but they hogged. Sound was ~OK, better with $20 headphones. On AM, there were a few fat dial-hogging locals (tuning bandwidth issue), and a weird squeeling-birdie sound around distant stations. You could tune those in extremely tight range with a lot of tweeking. Night AM was a crazy jungle. There is a lot of promise in the contruction and tuning mechanics, but the tuner circuits are buggy. I liked the pendant-hanging mode, once I shortened the cord a bit w/ a figure 8 knot.

Bought this to take to the gym to use on the closed circuit TVs there. Range is very limited and the clip on the back tends to come off. The arm band is pretty much non-functional also.

A real piece of junk. I requested and received a refund. They told me to keep the radio and not to bother sending it back. It's not worth the postage.

This is a nice light weight small radio I use out when I want to check on a radio show or news. Good sound. Unfortunately one of the buds is not working, not sure what happened.

Got this little radio for use while jogging. It works great and even gets good reception while i'm in the gym on the treadmill.
Exactly what I needed.

But what would expect for this price right? the lesson is always the same, quality is always less expensive at the end because we end up throwing away the cheap stuff tired of the bad quality of reception and sound.
