The sound quality of this radio is excellent. I bought it to keep my bird company when I'm not in the room. Finding a station is very easy with this radio as it has a red light that lights up when you reach a free station. I also like that it has an adapter so you can use batteries or cables. That's all I was looking for and more.

But the sound quality, especially the voice, was poor. It may have been AM reception, but it seemed a bit washed out or muffled. Since there are no tone controls, stick with what you have. I mainly listen to AM talk radio and have found that I can't hear much beyond six feet. The FM side sounded stronger with better music resolution. For the price I think this is a good FM radio background music machine.

Bought for my 96 year old mother. It was the only radio she had in the last 10 years that got a good AM signal even during the day! Good FM reception, even in their metal clad camper van. We live in a very rural area with a few strong local stations and the rest far away and this radio has no overlap issues and picks up many stations that previous radios couldn't. The sound quality is very good - just like the $80 radio she tried a while back. Overall, this radio beats the $80 radio in many…
