This is the second one I bought for myself and the only reason it is the second one is because I have a habit of dropping things and it lasted for a couple of years till I dropped it to hard the only thing I would suggest is that you purchase a new a and a good set of headphones. The batteries will last longer if you listen to the radio rather than the headphones. It sounds very nice although the volume is to high even on low but if you are on a long car ride or get around the city on public transportation it is a must so overall it is a good value for the product both money and time wise. It is dictate so be careful with the way you handle the product and purchase the warranty it is worth it in the long road.
