Best combination of portability, sound, and reception for the money. I was unsure whether to buy because of mixed revues and most important to me was good reception as I had many excercise radios in the past and always got rid of them because of poor reception. Well I decided that for the price plust Amazon's very reasonable shipping charge, I just had to take a chance. Boy was I glad. Man this thing picks up every station loud and clear. Very good sound as well and super light. Good armband rig. Do yourself a favor and go for this one. I am glad I did. It makes bicycling fun again.
