Review: PRETTY AMAZiNG...MORE SO FOR THE PRiCE - this replaces a sony running radio that cost over twice as much and weighed slightly more, which i would have kept until it bonked out...and in fact i did, as it went out on me the same day i ordered this. the technology was about 7yrs old, when i bought it, so i think it did really well for its genre. but now i had to replace, and hoped new technology would be better at a lower price. short story shorter: yes. at least if talking about this radio. my strategy with something utilitarian, as tunes during my 60min runs, is to find the best ratings with as many people rating the item, at my price. honestly did not expect to get something this low in price, but i didn't have the money for more. and the reviews were many and among the several top rated. how'd it do? as my title says, amazing. the sound is better than what it replaced, tho i did need to buy my own stick on clip. also had to use the headphones i already had, all of which was fine. clips were $6. after my first 60min run i'll say this is a dream for running or other extreme compact use, AND it holds 2 batteries, which means longer play that my old radio which held just one. i can't think of a better radio to purchase under $20 if looking for something that sounds good and is small and light.
Review: Great pocket radio! - Great multiband pocket radio. SW reception is great even with short antenna. Clip a wire on the antenna and reception gets even better! FM is good and AM band is good too. The one thing that is stellar on this radio is the audio, the sound from this little radio is THE BEST!!! The only improvements this pocket radio could use is improvement of the AM band reception, but with that said I am a DX AM band enthusiast so I can be a bit particular about AM reception on a radio receiver. You will absolutely love this radio, best feature is AA battery rather than recharge BS.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazingly impressed
*by J***D on June 23, 2024*

First off I gave it 4 stars because in my opinion 5 stars is absolutely perfect and it's not. That being said, it is a solid radio that has amazing sound (thanks to DSP) and the volume is loud with little distortion at full volume. Obviously FM is the better band. AM and SW are decent if you live near a major city, however the tiny 4 section antenna is effective yet minimally receptive. The scan feature is awesome and will give you up to 30 found/saved frequencies, which you can cycle through using the (+/-) button. You can also save up to 3 favorite stations per band which is not much, but better than nothing I guess. Overall, it was the clarity of the sound and the volume that impressed me the most and yes I would definitely buy it again.
