Radio always worked good for me, as long as I was on a main level or above, in basements, not so well.

The FM radio is pretty good, you can program it to your desired stations and listen to the ones you want, the COBY MP3610 has a slightly better radio program, but since these are both manufactured by COBY, both are good..Hope I was of help.. :)

Sorry, I don't use the FM function of it. Other than that, I love it. The item performs more than well for the price. Battery life is good. I love the sleep mode feature because I bought mainly so it would put me to sleep! At times, I wake up on top of it and it withstands the bad treatment! The sound is good and clear.

Honestly, it's going to be hard to answer this question. If you're asking how the radio sounds...Then I would say it sounds great depending on how good your speakers are. As for the second part of your question, this radio is not for broadcasting. So you will not be heard on the other end at all.

I am amazed by the quality of the FM reception...when I can get it. Unfortunately where I work (which is why I got the item in the first place), I get only very few stations due to interference by building/steel, etc. I've not tried the record feature.

FM reception is fine. We live in an area with a lot of radio stations and sometimes you run into one station stepping on another's signal, but that's not a function of the radio. The stations we have programmed in come in perfectly clear. In my opinion you can't beat the sound or quality of this radio for the money.

Yes, the radio works fine, but not in my office where I wanted it to work. You don't need headphones to listen to this radio. FM worked fine in my office, but not AM.

Yes. Mine is incredibly finicky. The FM is so sensitive that it takes me a few min to tune stations. The AM is rock solid. I do think it needs to be fixed though, it shouldn't be that hard to tune in a station like the one I'm trying to get. I have a Sangean digital radio and it gets everything just fine.

For the cost and the size of the unit the FM reception is really good. The only problem is that there is no antenna so you have to use the headphones that come with the unit to get the best reception. I work in a rural part outside of Atlanta and I work in a metal booth that is totally inclosed. I have had reception issues with other headsets and this is by far the best. Hope that helps

Yes it is, I really enjoy mine at work. loud enough with descent sound, but doesn't bother any one else.

Thanks M. MasonI have had 2 of these radios. The first one was good in reception, on am., but the off on switch went bad.and the tuner also broke. The second one is not very good on am or fm, I wasted my money on it. Thanks

The reception is great for me. My office is in the middle of a concrete building with large HVAC equipment on the roof above me and I have no trouble picking up my local public radio station. I just adjust the antenna every now then if things get wonky.

The best 1 speaker audio short of a Boss I've ever heard. FM is good, but so good that it will buzz when too close to certain motors or computers when they function. Overall I recommend it!

FM reception depends on tower locations in a rural area. My husband says AM talk radio holds a better reception from building to building compared to FM reception. But in the open fields reception for both is about the same depending on radio towers in your area. I've been purchasing 2 sony walkmans a year for my husband these past 15 Christmases and he uses the radio everyday (10- 12 hrs daily) 7 days a week 365 days a year. It takes a licking & keeps on sounding Awesome! Enjoy!

I agree this is a great radio (a little wide on the FM band, but very sensitive.) Batteries last a long time, I rarely use the adapter.

It is fair like most laptops. If I wanted to listen to sometime special, I use my Microsoft LifeChat 3000 ear phones. I am hard of hearing so my opinion shouldn't count for much.

Not my experience. I find the radio very loud, usually on 2/3 in the office and maintains its clarity as the volume is increased.

The Kaito KA321 will receive several "strong" shortwave signals. It is a little bit hard to tune them in with the dial but with patience and a steady hand you can receive several stations. I can get the voice of Cuba. Always good for a few laughs. But this radio has an excellent receiver for both AM and FM and the FM is in stereo. Pretty cool.
