Does what it needs to do - for a while, anyway
Pros

Cons
Poor headphone design, placement of controls not ideal, doesn't last long

The Bottom Line:
I'd try out a lower priced alternative first. You'll probably do just as well.
I like to change stations frequently when I'm running, so I wanted a small, lightweight FM radio I could hold in my hand. This fit the bill. It was pretty good for a while - good reception and easy to hold on to. My main complaint initially was that the headphones are not well designed for anyone who is going to take this radio to the gym. If you put the thing in your gym bag, the little covers on the earpieces will inevitably fall off and get lost in the bottom of the bag. Also, it seems to go through a lot of batteries, but it runs off a single AAA, so I guess I can't complain.
Lately, however (about six months after purchase), it seems that the connection between the headphones and radio isn't good. You have to shake the whole thing just to get anything to come in.
It wasn't easy to find a small FM radio of decent quality. I think this one has the potential to be good, but I'd recommend purchasing the replacement policy if the store you buy it from offers one. I'll be taking advantage of mine.
