This HD radio offers good value for the price! Good receiption, relatively easy to understand controls, and comes bundled with a arm band strap for use on the go. The only downsides would be the lightweight plastic case that seems to be somewhat cheaply constructed. But for the price that is to be expected. Overall goood designed when used as intended.

What's great about it: Price performance

What's not so great: Case

I would recommend this to a friend!

Great little radio for work!

on July 7, 2013

Verified Purchase:Yes

This is my second radio from Insignia. The battery in the old one finally died after 2 years. The new model is bigger than the one in the picture. I don't know why they felt the need to rearrange the buttons but at least the display is the same. Unfortunately they got rid of the MUTE function that I used all the time when coworkers talk to me or the phone rings.

My Best Buy number: 2511127450

What's great about it: nice display,

What's not so great: no mute function

I would recommend this to a friend!

Worked well until it didn't

on October 20, 2013

Posted by: radioluv

from Seattle

I've used this for almost a year now, and it worked really well up until last week when the menu screen failed. It just went black. The radio still works fine, but I have to flounder a bit to find the stations I want, with no menu feedback to tell me where I am.

I also find the buttons difficult to use, and have to sometimes hit them 2-3 times to get a reaction. The way they are recessed makes it hard to tell if I have really pressed them or not.

Still, I like the radio and wish there were more HD radios to choose from. I'll probably buy another if they ever go on sale!

I would recommend this to a friend WITH CAVEATS.

What's great about it: Sound, portability

What's not so great: screen failed. buttons are difficult to operate

I would recommend this to a friend!

Better than previous product from same company.

from Orrville, OH

Verified Purchase:Yes

Upgrade from previously owned HD Radio from same company, which, after two and a half years, had no sound while retaining the ability to display channel changes. The previous product was difficult and time-consuming to turn on and off; this product allows this to be done easily.

My Best Buy number: 2830575277

What's great about it: Ease of turning on and off

What's not so great: Short charge life

I would recommend this to a friend!

Christmas present

on January 9, 2014

Posted by: MissyJAM

from OKC, OK

We bought this for my daughter for Christmas. Just perfect for her. But we noticed that she did keep her ear phones on when she listened to the music. That was because the volume button was stuck on the loudest setting it could go. IT was too loud for her. So we went to BEST BUY and exchanged it for a new one. So far the new one works great!

What's great about it: This is just perfect for my daughter, who is 12 years old

What's not so great: Had to be returned, the volume controll would not work...

I would recommend this to a friend!
