Still needs work

I was happy to find an HD radio under $50, but soon discovered that this low price came with a cost of poor design and performance. Reception is bad -- really bad. I live in an area where signals are strong, but the HD signal is constantly dropping out. The armband is a really poor design and to get it to be tight enough to not slip, it will cut off circulation in your arm. The ear buds are cheap and proprietary, and the casings around them are so poorly designed that they rattle as the cords swing as you walk. The programming and selection button design has to be the worst of all. You use the same buttons to program the mere 10 presets that you use to select the same presets. Since you cannot actually change a station until the HD signal is completely tuned in, moving through the presets is very difficult and in many cases you actually put the system in programming mode and accidently change your presets. It's better than no radio at all, but still it needs a lot of refinement.
What's great about it: The price
What's not so great: Bad reception, cheap and uncomfortable armband, poor programming design
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
