am-fm

The reception on this is quite good, even in NYC where there is a lot to mess up with your signal. The earbuds work for me just because I am merely walking around with it. If I planned to use this while working out, they would be inappropriate. The weight and size are fine.

My main problem is that in order to surf between pre-set stations, you must first press a button which pushes it into "preset" mode. This would not be a big deal except that it only stays in preset mode for a short period of time. After that, pushing the up and down arrows just moves it along the dial (rather than switching to your next preset).

So, this is a good radio if you're planning on listening to one station for a long period of time. If you're impatient like me, and like to switch around to avoid annoying commercials, you will find yourself often pulling it out of your pocket and managing this process. I find myself merely scanning for the next clear station, since this does not require the additional step. It's a problem that seems small but becomes a larger issue after awhile.

I love this radio...except for the uncushioned earbud headphones. I especially like the 90 min. cutoff, I use my radio at work everyday and sometimes in my rush to leave I forget to turn it off. The sound quality is excellent. Makes my workday go by much faster having great reception to pick up my favorite radio stations.

I have a Radio Shack branded version of this unit... same design... works fine... good sound, memory works as supposed to... reception seems solid... recommend
