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.

What I Liked:
Small Size. I used it outside whle working. The radio didn't switch stations accidentally on me after getting bumped. It was easy to adjust volume. I liked that it came with an armband except the armband needs stretchy material to work better. I liked that it has a more standard jack for charging, so I can take one USB cable and charge up several of my devices. I bought an adapter so I can plug it into the wall. I think the sound quality is pretty good but I'm only listening to talking programs. The battery lasted a lot longer than the MP3 player I was using.

What I didn't like:
*This radio didn't work at lower temperatures. At 40 degrees or below I had to put it inside my jacket or it would just make a terrible noise and not tune in any station.
*The NPR HD2 station in my area isn't on all the time and I found it very difficult to tune in. HD1 had no issues but even though I'm in line of sight from the transmitting towers I had trouble tuning in HD2 unless I went to specific spots. After getting it tuned in it would stay on the station.
*It was somewhat difficult to set the presets and then sometimes it would set a new preset instead of switching to the next station when I was pushing the button.
*An MP3 player would be a bonus
*Only a 90 day warranty
*6 months into it and now I have no sound output. So it goes into the trash.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
