Until this unit appeared, HD radio was an expensive novelty with few choices of receivers to choose from. This refreshingly low-priced receiver allows you to listen via headphones while out and about, or plug the audio output into your stereo system for around-the-house listening. It relies on the headphone cable as its antenna, which limits the reception somewhat. Rechargeable battery has decent playing time, and recharges using USB port on your computer or by means of other chargers which you probably already have (helps keep the price down.) A very good value!
What's great about it: Great unit for getting started with HD radio.
What's not so great: Reception could be better if an external antenna connection was provided.
