Customer Reviews of Digital Stereo AM/FM PLL Armband Radio - SAB-55

An EXCELLENT CHOICE for AM/FM armband radios.
If you are in the market for an armband AM/FM radio, to use in the gym or while jogging or whatever, than this model, the JENSEN SAB-55 is exactly the right one for you to buy. <

>I've had many armband radios. I am a jogger, kayaker, I love to walk, and I love the gym. I absolutely must have radio while working out. Whatever you do, DO NOT buy the SONY Walkman SRF-M85V armband radio. You may be tempted because it looks cool, has a nice armband, and boasts many features. Trust me. I've gone through two of them. The first one broke. It was the older model with 2 AAA batteries. The new one, that uses only one battery, gets HORRIBLE reception. There are very few AM/FM armband radios out there, so I know you've stumbled upon SONY products. Don't buy it!!! Sony provides a sub-standard product, and on top of it, they have no interest in hearing customer feedback. I emailed and called them asking to send them a simple one paragraph email suggesting changes and pointing them to Amazon feedback about their radio. They didn't want to hear any of it. They basically emailed me back, advising that they've done everything they can for me. They basically refused to pass my feedback on to the engineers and parties responsible for the development of their products. Sony had no interest in what I had to say. <

>Look, this Jensen gets great reception. It is VERY inexpensive, under $20, and it has all the features you need. You don't want to overspend on an AM/FM armband radio, because you're going to go knock it around alot while jogging, kayaking, etc. This radio is inexpensive, as it should be. AM/FM does not need to be expensive. I've had this radio for a long time, and it's been bumped around a LOT, and it still works great. It is a no frills radio, with a digital tuner, presets in both AM and FM, with great reception, Bass boost, Clock. What more do you need? <

>The only two things I'll suggest to you, is that the programming is similar to learning how to program a digital watch. It takes a couple times to memorize the push this, tune that, push this, routine. Also, be sure to thread the armband through the slots on the belt-clip. If you don't the radio will fall off your arm, and I don't think the manual explained the threading procedure very well. The armband is very flexible, just shove it through. <

>So again, don't be tempted by the $40 AM/FM radio put out by Sony. Be wary of single battery armband radios too. Stay cheap. Don't buy the GBX, by the way. The battery compartment requires a screwdriver. Stick with the basic, perfect, JENSEN SAB-55. I passionately recommend it!

Is pretty good
I had the Sony s2 armband radio. I could not pick up any stations either at home or in the gym. I can pick up all the <
>stations that my car can now with this Bad boy! It feels a little on the cheap side but for the price it is great. The ear buds are very cheap. I purchased another pair and the sound is great. <
> Overall the sound is nice to walk or run with. The radio and its buttons feel cheap. I love the radio receiving all channels. I have had no problems with it. Well worth the 15 dollars.
