I like the fact that hd subchannels have few or no commercials. The reception is great in city and stations are plentiful. My only concern is durability. I've had to return the radio twice when it quit working.

Only portable digital radio available

on July 18, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes

This is my third radio - I always buy the extended warranty. As other reviews have mentioned eventually the radio stops to function or reset. Usually after about a year. The last one lasted longer than the original and the new looks like it has a new software upgrade. Maybe it will last longer. I run alot and as far as I can tell this is the only digital radio small enough to carry when running (it has a clip you can attach to shorts) ... and I did alot of research. I am a news junkie and the local PBS station has 4 digital channels, one which is all news. The sound is excellent and a great radio as long as it works.

My Best Buy number: 2510582908

What's great about it: Digial radio channels - small - you can easily carry running

What's not so great: Durability

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Awesome little gem!

on April 19, 2015

Posted by: EL305

from Hialeah, FL

This is a really great little HD Radio actually, I’m amazed at how good it is tuning to all my local FM and HD Radio stations, it easily tunes to HD1, HD2 and HD3 you can also save any of those as favorites for quick tune up as well.
Audio quality is superb, sounds better than a CD for sure, I wish music streaming services would adopt this audio quality.
It also remembers the last station you were tuned into even if it was an HD2 or HD3, something other HD Radios won’t do, so that’s a plus for me, I personally bought it so I could tuned into HD stations while on my car since my new car does not come with HD Radio and I was missing that from my previous car,
It comes nicely packed with a belt clip, USB cable for charging and nice pair of earbuds, can’t ask for more for the price, I absolutely love it.
I would recommend it to anyone.

Great product in th city

on May 1, 2015

Posted by: LarryR

Verified Purchase:Yes

This is a great product for walking in NYC. You receive all of the FM stations with great sound if they are in HD, as well as the HD side stations which may include popular local news, sports, or talk stations - WCBS, WINS, WABC, CBS SPORTS NETWORK, ESPN TALK RADIO. The only problem is that the radio is a bit flimsy and easy to damage - this is my 3rd one, but still worth it to have a compact device for good FM sound. You ca also attach it to your stereo receiver and get static free sound on the HD music stations.

I sent a gift to someone in psychiatric locked facility. They do not have access to anything else there and batteries is a problem. So, to be able to charge it from the wall outlet is a great help.
