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.
Posted by: LovingTheMusic
OK, so you're about to put down a nice chunk of change for a, well, it's just a RADIO, right? And you're wondering if the "HD" thing is going to make a difference or if it's just marketing hype.
Well, what you get in this package will give you a nice, pleasant sound, but face it, any time you buy a portable radio or mp3 player that includes earphones, they're not intended to give you great sound. Then again, there's Apple, but they really can't afford to give you junk earphones when they're charging hundreds of dollars for their products. Still, they're just "starter" earphones, and they cost $29.95 if you want to buy them separately - and lots of people upgrade them to get better sound.
So, what should you do?
GET A DECENT PAIR OF EARPHONES!!!
Like the Apple buds? No way - just average sound for the price.
Check out Logitech Ultimate Ears 600vi or Rockjaw Alfa Genus #more bass than the Logitech# and the sound will rock your world. Both of these will play loud, but if you just have to have to crank it up every once in a while #for short periods - don't damage your ears# get the Logitechs.
So what about HD? It really works. It gives you a little bit better sound than the station you get the best reception on in regular FM. And the regular FM sound is great - full spectrum, including the BASS.
The downside? If you live in a rural area, there might not be many hd stations near you. Just google "HD radio" to find out. Also, not all hd stations are of equal strength #some are farther away from you# and on the weak stations, you will get occasional drop-outs, and with weak regular FM stations, the signal can drift in and out. Hey, it's RADIO.
Just for reference, I can tell you that the sound quality equals or surpasses my San Disk Sport Clip mp3 player #and crushes it in the bass# Of course it's not as good as my $100 Fiio X1 or my $200 Ibasso DX-50 mp3 players, but if you don't have a whole big bunch of CDs that you can rip to MP3 or Flac, it's really not worth getting one of those players, unless you're prepared to shell out hundreds and hundreds of dollars to buy music online.
And besides, radio has ALL THE NEW MUSIC.

My Insignia HD Radio (NS-HD01) portable player will not turn off. What can I do?
Did you try the reset? (insert a paper clip into the little tiny hole)

Yeah. It gives you the station, name of the station, artist, song title - the whole nine yards.
