In less than 5 months I went through 2 of these units. The first one the sound quit working after a little more than 2 months. Took unit back to store and exchanged for a new one. Once again about 2 months later the very same thing happen. Working fine one day and the next day no sound. I am out of the warrenty so I guess I just threw away $43 bucks. One of my co workers has the same radio and guess what, his did the very same thing. He is out of warrenty also but he paid full price for his ($50). I just threw the second one in the trash today. Also when the radio changes from normal FM and then to HD it is very annoying and it happens all day long. You can't just switch it normal FM. The sound was good when it was working. I would not buy untill they either fix this promblem or they extend the warrenty to a full year. Looks like I will now be buying a Sony Walkman and hope I have better luck. There goes another $40.
