Has lighted digital readout. All AM or FM, if desired. At night able to tune in stations up 1500 miles away, almost as if they were local. Extremely sensanive. Best memory ever with the ability to place 19 AM/FM station in any order.
The FM & AM signals are very strong. I also like the clock feature. The first radio I received was defective. The back lit display is very good. So far, I am very happy with this purchase. I received a replacement within 3 weeks. So far I am pleased with the performance of the radio.
It's very easy to switch between speaker and headphones.The included earbuds are acceptable in quality.As other reviews have noted the bud portion is quite large so they are not the most comfortable.My advice wait till you try them for yourself to see if you need to replace them. Battery life is good but if you plan on being a heavy user rechargeable batteries might be helpful.It does shut off after 90 minutes to save battery life.There is way to override that feature explained in the owners manual.It also has a button lock to keep you from accidentally changing stations.My only real quibble is that the radio has a rounded bottom so setting it down to stand on its own is impossible.Overall I am quite happy with my purchase.Note regarding my reception area: I use this product in the Western Suffolk County /South Shore area of Long Island about 45 miles East of NYC. I recently purchased this radio as a gift for myself.I am mostly happy with it.It is quite small, about the same size as a pack of cigarettes.It takes two AA batteries so it does have some weight to it.It slips easily into a front or back pocket of your jeans/pants.A small removable rigid belt clip was included but I found it useless as it did not swivel.Overall build quality is nice, does not look or feel cheap. The external speaker is a nice feature but sound is not the best.It's not very loud and has a fuzzy sound to it.Again very acceptable and a nice feature to have but it's not going to WOW you with it's sound quality. I have found reception pretty good.I will try to explain.I had a Sony SRF-M37W Walkman before this radio.The Sony worked OK , I could never get ANY AM stations , just got static.It could get a few FM ( My fav NPR came in so I was happy) I recently changed work locations and the Sony could not get ANY stations in at my new location (10 miles west of previous location) With my new Sangean I can get numerous AM stations in very clear (more than my car radio parked outside)FM is also coming in very clear (just not the one I was really seeking) I walk all around a large building as I use this radio and it holds the station well. The included earbuds wire functions as the antenna for the radio.They also include a separate antenna wire that goes in the headphone jack when you want to use the external speaker.Though I just keep the earbuds plugged in and use those as the antenna when I want to listen to the external speaker.
She calls it her Ipod. My 7 year old got this for Christmas and she loves it. She carries it with her everywhere.
its advertised as being able to get TV stations.it dosent.that was the only reason i was going to spend $50 on this othewise i could have bought a 20 or 30$ sony walkmanbooooooooo
