If you are looking for a cheap FM/AM radio, this is the one.
Reception was my most concern when I was shopping for a radio. I received this radio today and it has a pretty decent reception both FM and AM, actually better than my old Sony which I bought for $35 (very disappointed). I live in Oakland, CA and work in Novato, CA. I've tested both places. Since Novato is a bit furture away from San Francisco area, the reception is a bit weak especially when I got inside the building, however, it works great when I tried it in Oakland (which closer to San Francisco) I got pretty good signal from both FM/AM in and outside the building. The head phone that comes w/ the unit is so so. I use my better headphones that I bought awhile back and it sounds great!
Overall this radio good if 1. the reception is your major concern 2. you don't want to spend over $20.
Digital camera Review: Great radio!!!

I did research on arm band radios and found the comments about this particular radio very helpful. I recently joined a gym and wanted to be able to tune my radio to the programmed radio stations in order to hear the tv. I didn't want to spend a lot of money because I didn't know how I would like an arm band radio. I received it this past Friday and used it for the first time on Saturday. I am sooo glad I purchased this radio!! Although I had to remove one of the velcro peices and sew it on the opposite side (the strap was designed wrong), this is an awesome radio! I agree with the other posters that there should be a mute button. Other than the strap being wrong, this is an awesome radio. Great reception and sound quality. I would recommend this radio to anyone.Digital camera Review: Meh! Not gonna reccomend this one.

Price is cheap but so is the performance. I stopped listening to AM stations because of the constant fading in and out. To my disappointment FM had the same problem. If you're standing still it works fairly well, but walking or jogging will drive one insane. The radio size is a bit on the large side and the strap would possibly fit better if I had a larger arm diameter. I will say that the UI is very easy to use and presets are nice way to skip the radio commercials. One last note: even at the lowest volume setting it is way too loud.
