This is a dandy little radio if you don't require AM. I use miniature radios when I'm out on my bike, and this is one of the smaller, easier to manipulate units on the market.
I don't have any special need for HD, but it works pretty well. Occasionally there will be an echo for a second or two, and some (not all) HD channels fade in and out, and the HD delay results in you hearing the same phrase twice (and/or losing a phrase). Personally, I don't find this particularly troublesome. In addition, the volume dips briefly from time to time. Again, doesn't disqualify the unit -- the decrease is slight.
Why four stars with thesee qualifications? (1) The little screen is terrific, easy to read, lots of info. (2) Sound quality is excellent, perfectly balanced even with cheap headphones. (3) Fits nicely in your pocket and comes with an arm strap. (4) USB charge lasts a long time.
Well worth a try.
What's great about it: Cool screen, good sound, perfect size
