I bought this primarily for use on my motorcycle. It is an excellent product that works exceptionally well! I now use it at home very regularly lounging at home and around the house. It is very small and portable / has good sound quality and pulls in a good reception.
HD radio is so cool - I couldnt believe the number of channels it makes available to you. It also pulls in most local AM channels as HD channels - so you have the range COVERED as far as radio goes. People complain it's not an MP3 player - BIG DEAL - it's $50.00 - and is not meant to be an MP3 player. If you need an MP3 and HD player in one, buy the Zune HD and pay 250-300 dollars. Or........
Buy the Insignia for 50.00 and then a cheap IPOD.
Only negatives -
1. The earbuds are cheap - nuff said.
2. It had no AC charger - the USB charger works great however and the unit charges exceptionally quickly!
Buy it and smile.............
Sods
What's great about it: Simple to use - good reception quality - nice display - good battery life - small!! Inexpensive!!
What's not so great: cheap earbuds - not an MP3 player - but not meant to be either.
I would recommend this to a friend!

great product , but rarely have HD reception mostly FM but still better then normal FM ... but I guess it drains battery quick i guess because of picking up HD transmission is a reason behind it ??not sure just my guess .....but still a very much desirable product for any radio lover . unfortunately i have to return mine as it had a very short battery life . I miss this one as its best for my morning walking companion .
What's great about it: very nicely built , size and solid sturdy in touch feeling
What's not so great: short battery life
I would recommend this to a friend!

from Harrisburg, Pa
I just bought this and immediately I was blown away. The battery in the unit had plenty of juice in it so I could listen to it right away. It came with a nice exercise arm band holder which is nice to help keep the radio from getting scratched. The screen shuts it's self off after a little bit of time so that it can save power. I could easily pre-set 10 stations which is nice because I can find the stations that I'd like to listen to faster. I don't have to pay for a monthly subscription for hd radio which is a plus. On some of the hd stations it tells me the name of station, artist, and song that's playing. Overall, I think this is a great gadget to have.
What's great about it: I can use this at work and at the gym, it's much Cheaper then the ipod touch,and the sound quality is quite superior.
What's not so great: Super long battery life?
I would recommend this to a friend!

from san jose, ca
i heard there were less comercials on HD. I used to have sirius but hated their billing practices and the antenna scratched my car. this plugs into the aux in my scion! at first i thought it wasn't working but i just had to turn up the volume to like 40 (i guess cause the jack is meant for earbuds). anyways, not as many stations as i hoped, but def less commercials. same reception as the FM radio it seems, which would be a bummer for road trips and the reason I did like the satellite radio. it think its a bit pricey for just a radio. i don't see any big improvement in the sound. just not 10 commercials between every song. that's the only diff. i don't know who is complaining about headphones. its a standard jack. you could switch out to something else.
What's great about it: works as aux in my scion
What's not so great: thot there would be more stations
I would recommend this to a friend!

from Arlington, VA
This is a fun product. The screen is bright and colorful. Reception is fine for my area. I am getting the WAMU Bluegrass channel in DC from my basement in Arlington VA without a hitch. Tone is satisfactory to me with earphones, and better when I hook it up to the Aux input of my receiver. Could use more presets, but despite what an earlier review said, I am able to set them to channel two or three of a station as well as the prime channel. (I don't know why some are complaining about presets and sensitivity, maybe a quality control issue.) Feels solid, but noting prior reviews I took the two year warranty at $10 extra. For a Bluegrass fan in the DC area this radio is a winner.
What's great about it: Sensitivity, tone, price, everything works.
What's not so great: Don't know about battery life yet, can't run it while charging, only 10 presets
I would recommend this to a friend!

from Philadelphia,PA
I have a satelite radio and decided to try a HD portable radio. I have a regular HD radio and this is BETTER than the satelite radio. It is free and you get all of the HD channels. Sometimes certain channels lose reception, but if you have a HD radio, you understand this. The radio is a great gift at a affordable price.
What's great about it: Very comparable to a satelite radio, but affordable. Great match
What's not so great: Some channels fade away and lose signal.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The sound and quality are good, but I can't get reception inside the gym. I've also had to reset it twice and I've only had it a month.
What's great about it: Good value for price
What's not so great: I've had to reset it twice in about a month
