Crisp digital tunning and controls, solid housing. Ear buds provided are mmmmm, but with good ear buds you end up with a nice sound. Speaker is ok for it's small size. AM reception is quite good, FM at times is spotty but could be my area. I don't think this is a good choice for jogging, you would have to hold it or keep it in a pocket. This radio is a level above most compact radios(2 1/2" x 4") and I really think it is worth the extra green backs.
