from Bedford, Texas
I've really enjoyed my Insignia HD Radio. I have figured out how to hook it up to my truck's speakers, and with a little help I've learned how to charge its battery through an AC outlet. I use it constantly, and find many new local (Dallas-Fort Worth) channels not available on FM. It's certainly worth the low price. (I gave it to myself for Christmas.)
What's great about it: Fun to use, get new channels, good reception and speaker qualilty
What's not so great: Battery runs down fairly quickly, but it's easily recharged.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased for my husband for christmas. He absolutely loves it. He uses it at home, and in the car. Sound is great, no static at all. Small and compact to take with you wherever you want.
What's great about it: great sound
What's not so great: nothing yet
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have used the original version for 5 or so years. It still works, but a cracked screen developed which makes channel changing a hassle.
The buttons and switches have been shuffled around, but the control logic is unchanged. The housing is slightly bulkier with added silver trim.
I can't compare screen resolution anymore, but battery life seems to be improved. If you want a portable HD radio, this is the only game in town.

It works well when sitting around the house, picked up a few channels, but as soon as i took it in my truck and hooked it up through an Auxillary cable it was all over. Constantly loosing channels, and i was only 2-3 miles from my house, if I stopped moving it was fine.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

from sacramento valley
This unit did not quite meet my expectations. While the tuner is strongerr than 90% of the handheld brands, the sound quality was the same as the better brands (Sony Aiwa) that are not HD. The sound quality was no better than the cassette/am/fm units sold in the 1970's (with 2 fm and one am band and easier to program). The latest Sony Walkman (fm only) with the recordable feature can save a song or several hours of a radio broadcast with a longer battery life. The battery took too long to charge. My Golf Buddy gps unit charged faster after four hours of usage. The HD designation is no better than the quad sound manufacturers promised over stereo. I expected surround sound quality.
What's great about it: stronger tuner, protective carrier
What's not so great: short battery life, charging time, programming stations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

from Newark, Delaware
Was really excited about my new radio. Distortion drives me crazy when I am trying to listen to music or commentary. I really wanted this to work because it would be so easy to take it almost anywhere. Unfortunately, I never got a sound out of it. Powers up, shows station on screen, and then shuts itself off. I exchanged it once, next one did the same thing. I will give the market some time to come up with a better product at a reasonable price.
What's not so great: doesn't work
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Another HD Radio Hoax

Another HD Radio hoax. Unlike $10 analog pocket-radios, battery life and reception are poor on this portable HD radio. $50 bucks and it doesn't even include an MP3 player. Analog radios fade gracefully, while this one drops signals to silence, when out of range - just like the digital TV transition hoax. Also, hard to tune. I'll be returning this radio. Audio quality is worse than analog radio - sounds tinny.
What's great about it: nothing
What's not so great: poor battery life and reception. Too expensive for just another radio
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
