This radio is sleek, light and stylish. Reception and sound is clear as long as you're not moving. I have three problems with this model. I bought it for walking. I was greatly disappointed because of poor reception and static. Stations just 20-30 miles away would not lock in. I suppose this is because the ear buds are the only antenna. Another problem I have is that you have to "unlock" the hold switch every-time you want to change a setting. Finally, the volume control jumps from one level to another without giving a level in between. I would not purchase this radio again for walking.
