I like the radio as a whole but was surprised that it will end up
being a throw away. From what I can see the rechargeable battery
cannot be replaced when it finally dies. I didn;t know this when I purchased it and don't remember seeing this lack of feature on the packaging or the on line description. I will keep it as long as the battery lasts as it does have good range and sound. It would be great if they make on with a replacable battery.
What's great about it: Range and Sound
What's not so great: Battery replacement does not exist.
I would recommend this to a friend!

from Seattle WA
I LOVE this radio. However, the sound in my second one just quit. The display is on, but the sound quits. My first one lasted about 3 months and the second one about 6 months. Best Buy will not replace it, as it is past the 90 day warranty. I can't just keep replacing them at $50 a pop. Even though I understand the warranty, I am discouraged with Best Buy's refusal to replace a defective product. Insignia says that they honor Best Buy's warranty.
What's great about it: Excellent reception and sound
What's not so great: The sound quits
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The updated version of this radio is great! The reception is much improved, seeking for HD stations is super fast, and when you are on an analog-only station or out of range of the HD signal, the analog signal sounds great, too. Make sure you get the NS-HD01A, not the older NS-HD01. To be really sure you have the latest version, power it up in the store, select Menu -> Version and make sure it says "Si4680" under "DSP Version." That's the new receiver chip that is the heart of the radio and gives it the great performance.
What's great about it: Excellent reception, really fast HD station seek

from Fontana, Ca
The audio quality of the Insignia was amazing up to June 28. Then there was no audio. I tried re-setting to the factory setting. I tried a different set of ear-buds. No change. The receiver turns on, but no audio. To make matters worse, it is about a week and a half out of warranty
What's great about it: the audio
What's not so great: 90-day warranty
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

from Dallas, TX.
I got this cheaper model the day before the newer Insignia™ HD Radio Portable Player was stocked at my local Best Buy store. I live in the far northern Burb's of Dallas, Texas, 45 miles away from the FM antenna farm located in Ceder Hill Texas. Over the 40 years I have owned many portable radios. This little gem has the best FM receiver I have ever came across in the portable Walkman type radios. In my home I receive all 41 HD broadcasts out of Dallas. When conditions are right I receive 1 Cameron University HD channel from Wichita Falls, TX. That is some 90 miles away from home. I took this little radio on a trip to Marion Indiana and was surprised to receive HD stations from both Indianapolis and Fort Wayne. Indianapolis is 65 miles away from Marion Indiana. The 3 HD stations that were received from Indianapolis were loud and clear with little dropout when the radio was moved around the house or when I went for a neighborhood walk. The Fort Wayne HD stations (50 miles away) stayed on while walking with out measurable dropout. I am very impressed with this radio. I did notice that only one station in Indianapolis (Q95) had the sound quality of most of the HD stations here in Dallas. The other HD2 channels sounded like analog FM. That brings me to Dallas again. Notably I found four HD 2 channels and one HD3 channel I really like to listen to. 50s & 60s Oldies on KLUV, Smooth Jazz on the Oasis, the Indie channel and The Strip HD 2 channels. This makes this $40 investment good one. It sounds great through my Bang & Olufsen hooked to the Bose Surround Sound Speakers. The only bad thing I have to say about this little radio concerns the battery and battery life. It never shows a full charge even if it is plugged in for 10 hours. It does not receive AM HD stations. Other then that It is a great value and has provided a lot of enjoyment into my wife and my life. I would recommend this radio to anyone who wants to get into HD radio cheaply.
What's great about it: The reception of HD Channels here in the Dallas Metro
What's not so great: Battery life & it It never shows a full battery charge. No AM-HD reciever.
I would recommend this to a friend!

HEADPHONES NEEDED... POINTLESS WITH AN AUX IN JACK

from Orlando, FL
I was planning to plug this item into the AUX IN option on my car stereo and home stereo. Only problem is that by doing so, you essentially have no signal.
The headphones that come with it are the antenna. This is great for someone who wishes to use it at the gym... on the bus... or jogging or something... but makes it worthless if you plan to plug it into anything else.
I bought this on sale for $40, and for the money liked the headphones and the rechargable battery and the arm band. But, when I plugged it into the car... pointless! No signal without its headphones!!!
I was not about to buy a splitter to test to see if that would work... so it went back to Best Buy.
What's great about it: The HD Radio does sound VERY CLEAR, USB recharge
What's not so great: The headphones that come with it are the antenna... pointless without them
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great HD radio reception. This radio, however, will not replace my portable FM radio because the Insignia portable has no belt clip, no clip, and no strap attachment loop. The over sized, muscle arm band that comes with the Insignia is too large in general and is to large for my arm, although I do push ups daily.
What's great about it: sound quality
What's not so great: no clip
I would recommend this to a friend!
