I was excited when I heard an ad for this radio so I went out and grabbed one. Boy I was shocked when I got it home. The radion would only pick up 3 total FM stations, and wouldn't pick up any HD Stations even though there are over 20 in my area. I took the thing back the very next day for a refund. They hype this radio up but once you get it home its a real dissappointment!

This is a wonderful little HD Radio! Small enough to be on my over-crowded desk at work, yet it brings in the channels great! (Even in the building I'm in, which doesn't bring in most regular radio stations!) It's screen is a nice size which I can easily read. And the sound quality is wonderful. I just wish LA had more HD radion stations!
The price is also great for an HD Radio. And I'm discovering that is true of all the Insignia products. I have 3 so far myself, but I know that I'll be getting more. Great quality for great equipment!
What's great about it: Great price, easy to use, amazing quality of sound.
What's not so great: Haven't found anything bad at all.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The first portable HD radio is an excellent value. It sounds wonderful and looks sleek. Since digital signals don't travel as far as analog signals, the reception isn't great but that is to be expected with HD radio and a small antenna. Besides, if a digital signal is not locked then the analog channel is played, so the listener is no worse off in that case. When the signal is strong enough then what out! The earbuds have an excellent sound. The small display limits the song information the device can show.
What's great about it: Excellent value and sound quality

Within an hour of buying this product, I had tested the product to make sure it worked, and charged it for a short bit. After turning it on, all it does is produce a solid white screen with no reaction to any input. Hitting reset turns the white screen off momentarily and goes straight to the white screen again. I just wish I had bought it earlier in the day so I wouldn't have to wait a day to return it.
What's great about it: One of very few portable products to allow for HD Radio

Works great for what I need. I was looking for a portable HD radio with FM and nothing else. I have an ipod so I don't need the MP3 functionality. Price is fair for what you get. Great unit if you are only looking for HD radio and FM.
What's great about it: Small, Clear reception with headphones, mini usb charger, easy to use
What's not so great: Poor reception without headphones

Here in Denver there must be at least 25 HD stations that I'm able to receive from home using the headphones. Many are commercial free! The quality of sound is crisp and clear. The radio does work in my car with the AUX jack but I've not tried it on the road yet. I'm hopeful that this will replace my Sirius radio which I've not been completely satisfied with along with monthly fees.
What's great about it: Easy to use and I love the display information.
What's not so great: Some display text a little small. More memory presets would be nice.

I was very pleasantly suprised at the quality of this radio. It has a much better sound than other portable radios from Sony, etc.. and the HD sound is very clear. The headset earphones that come with the radio are cheap and don't really show the full quality of sound that this radio is capable of producing. I am using a pair of $25.00 V-Moda's. and the sound is much improved.
The one area that could be improved is the function of the presets. For example, If I am listening to preset 5 and want to move it to 6 or 4, it often starts me at preset 1 again. Also I am not able to set the preset to a sub-HD station, which would be convenient. But, for $49.00, I would say this is a very strong buy.
What's great about it: Suprisingly good sound and reception.
What's not so great: Presets are a little bit confusing.
