A Neat Little Device for Listening at work

on August 10, 2011

Posted by: KCsFinest5

from KC

I enjoy listening to sports talk radio and decided to pick up an HD radio because my favorite station has been advertising their new HD station. I, like many of you, found the cheapest portable available. I am very critical of electronics, but I can honestly say that this is a great product. I believe the current price tag is due to low popularity of HD radio. However, if you are looking for a neat little radio that is small and looks nice, this is your radio.

Pros:
-Small size
-Attractive design
-Optional work-out band included
-Rechargeable battery
-Price
-Easy to use

Cons:
-Sometimes signal gets weak while inside (usually a few 10 second periods everyday)
-screen could be bigger

I would recommend this to a friend!

Great portable HD radio

on October 25, 2013

Posted by: khart2237

from Bergen County, NJ

Verified Purchase:Yes

I bought this product because I wanted an HD radio that wasn't subject to data and programming restrictions like I have come across with streaming radio on my phone. Although I'm a 90s kid, I prefer radio calls with the Giants and Jets games than I do listening to Joe Buck droning on like he always does on TV. I wanted something affordable that didn't produce shotty sound with constant static or white noise. I wanted a clear, HD sound and something that had a digital tuner rather than trying to rotate a dial around manually to try and find a sweet spot for a radio station. This product gave me all of what I was looking for and I am completely satisfied with the product. So now when I'm raking the leaves or exercising, I bring this little guy with me and I can hear every radio call of a sports game clearly and without any static. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a radio of this sort.

My Best Buy number: 2844386227

What's great about it: Great value, easy to use, and outstanding sound

What's not so great: Battery life could be better and the holstering clip they package with the device isn't great.

I would recommend this to a friend!

Must drain battery totally before recharging

on November 3, 2013

Posted by: Yaleee

from Sarasota, Florida

Verified Purchase:Yes

Most reviews have complained about battery life. I had the previous model and it lasted two years even though I did not follow faithfully my recommendation to drain battery totally. Some reviewers of this new model say their batteries lasted only a few months. I suspect this is because they were charging too often.

I let my new one always drain until it stops playing, and I trust this will extend the battery life to its maximum.

I use it daily at the gym. and it makes the minutes go by quicker!!

My Best Buy number: 1020588745

What's great about it: Only digital radio with internal chargeable battery on market

What's not so great: Battery life
