I needed a radio for my desk at work. I was really worried this cute little radio wouldn't get good reception in the office, but it works great!. The speaker is lnt the greatest but I use headphones with it so my coworkers don't have hear my funky taste in music. The headphone sound is great. I love that it has a power cord or can also be used with batteries. It was a great price. It's kind of fun to have to tune into the station like the good old days with a knob.
