I bought this primarily for use on my motorcycle. It is an excellent product that works exceptionally well! I now use it at home very regularly lounging at home and around the house. It is very small and portable / has good sound quality and pulls in a good reception.
HD radio is so cool - I couldnt believe the number of channels it makes available to you. It also pulls in most local AM channels as HD channels - so you have the range COVERED as far as radio goes. People complain it's not an MP3 player - BIG DEAL - it's $50.00 - and is not meant to be an MP3 player. If you need an MP3 and HD player in one, buy the Zune HD and pay 250-300 dollars. Or........
Buy the Insignia for 50.00 and then a cheap IPOD.
Only negatives - 1. The earbuds are cheap - nuff said. 2. It had no AC charger - the USB charger works great however and the unit charges exceptionally quickly!
Buy it and smile.............
