Nifty gadget - if it worked

on August 10, 2010

Posted by: REYO

from Rutherford, NJ

Maybe I just got a bad one, I don't know. But I sit here right now and hear NOTHING. Wait - now there's MUSIC - except I had sports talk on.

Bought it for the AM talk, less for the FM music stations. Was initially quite impressed. But now - 2 weeks or so later - the HD-2 and 3 stations do not remain connected. They just blip out - somethimes to come back on but oft times they check back to HD-1 (in my case this being hip hop/pop rather than the expected sports talk. This happens even when in HOLD position.

Thus.................have to then click it back to HD-3 from 1, hope it sticks.

Sound? No static, but still not crystal.

Also - you have to use the headphones that come with the unit, as the antenna is built into the phones.

I may just keep it....may exchange........at 39 bucks (sale) a real good deal if the negs were not there.

HD radio's a cool idea...........skipped the 200 buck Zune for now........getting something from this unit, but it's quite imperfect, yes.

Will review-back if I trade in for another unit and it is BETTER. Otherwise this stands as a warning if you want something awesome for your not so awesome expenditure

Cheers

What's great about it: Sleek, compact design, earbuds that stay in, AM talk with great clarity (when it works)

What's not so great: Too often doesnt hold in HD-2 and 3. Not compatible with other headphones

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
