When you're on the go, listen to your favorite HD and FM radio stations using this portable player that features a belt clip for easy portability.

I was excited that a portable HD Radio was available (especially at the price point), however this radio really disappoints.
The sound quality (with my own ear-buds -- not the included ones) was good. However, that was only when I could get a decent signal. Inside my house, signal was marginal-to-bad. Many stations would stick to analog, and when they did lock on HD, they would fall back often. There is no AM Tuner, so no AM HD stations.
I tried using the radio while doing yard work. It would get decent reception as long as you held it, or used the armband, but if you put in on your belt or in a pocket, the signal would disappear. Sometimes it depended on which way you faced. I love in a metro-area with plenty of HD channels, so I'm not impressed.
The color screen is washed out. Although still easy to read, for the price point, they could have opted for a better LCD screen.
It also lacks the iTunes tagging function.
This is going back. The Insignia lacks too many HD features and has far too poor reception. For the same price, you can get a nice MP3 player with a decent screen that plays the tunes you want to hear.
What's great about it: Lightweight, small, Easy to use
What's not so great: Reception is horrible, No AM Tuner (not even AM HD), Screen is washed out.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
