I'm a Letter Carrier and needed to find a new small digital pocket radio because the last one was garbage and went through AA batteries too quickly. I was just browsing at Best Buy and found this one, tried it, and this is the best pocket digital radio that has yet been made!
I wear it daily in my chest pocket. It routinely get's jostled, bumped, and sweat/rained on, in all four of Wisconsin's harsh seasons. This durable radio handles it all.
I wear it for at least 6 hours per day five days a week and 1 little AAA battery lasts around two weeks. The battery notification display is extremely convenient!
I predominantly listen to AM talk radio and the reception is crystal clear, despite my using different sport headphones.
My absolute favorite part about this radio is when you change the battery it still saves the preset stations! Brilliant!
If I could change one thing I'd make it smaller by getting rid of the clock. Unfortunately there's no way to turn it off (it's ALWAYS on if there's a battery in the compartment) - I wonder how much longer the radio would run without the clock? I can't really complain though since the single AAA already lasts so long.
Pants pocket, shirt pocket, strap it to your arm... I recommend this radio for anyone who listens while playing sports. It's simple features, durability and longevity far surpass any other small radio.
What's great about it: Small size, 1 AAA battery lasts a LONG time, lightweight, outstanding reception
