I'm looking for an AM/FM radio like this that would work well at a live NFL game. In fact it's at the loudest NFL stadium there is (Century Link Field in Seattle). Would these work well in blocking out crow noise while simultaneously listening to the...

These will work perfect for what you are in need of. I wore them at a very loud NASCAR race this summer and had no problems hearing and understanding the radio broadcast. Further, with a set of strong batteries, I had no problems picking up the station either (even when moving about the facility). I would definitely recommend them for your game.

Depends on your local noise situation. The biggest enemy of AM radio isn't the quality of the radios, so much as the level of electronic interference from electronics and power lines. That said, this radio has good selectivity. If you want more sensitivity (and less selectivity) you'd be better off with a radio with a larger ferrite antenna like the Degen 1103 - it also has better audio and is a larger radio. The Tecsun audio is tinny due to the small speaker.

I use it connected to our outside TV for NFL Football. We start using it approximately @ 10 am (pregame), and don't unplug it until the last Sunday night game is over, and that is at full blast. I love my football and I like it loud! I would be comfortable saying 10 hrs++. As one of the others said, I LOVE MY MELODY. No problems so far....Tbone

Blame the sports organizations (NFL, MLB, NBA, etc..) for limiting internet streaming, not the designers of the network based music players who find it redundant to offer AM/FM tuners & antennas on such hardware. :)

How is it with sound? I may be one of a few, but I like my fans to make noise because it blocks out the irking street sounds of cars going by and loud music. I'd rather have fan noise than that irking noise!

what is the best type of rabbit ear antenna to use?? The picture says weak or no signal, and does this mean the antenna is not picking anything up. Less than a half of a mile from a transmitter site. Don't know why it isn't picking up tv stations when I do auto program.??? Please advise

Max,I got a new HT via A,azion.com and it came from Radio mart in KY. Just way to many of you are worried about the newest version. My newest version is a 5RA and it has the 2nd to the last firmware.But that means nothing at all. All you need to know is here. http://www.miklor.com/ Please join the list but those guys will just tell you to read up in the files.I like mine,it has a siren,the case is beautiful but it has it's quirks. Guys are downloading software but I did mine manually. Some need WIN XP and others using VISTA need to download an updated driver. PLEASE DO NOT WORRY ABOUT LATEST FIRMWARE as i may only be a restriction on what you can or can't do out of the ham bands. I called this pure junk because it is hard to manually program it and at timed I'm in FREQ mode and it jumps into memory mode. Keep in mind that the mailing list is very,very large and many still do not have a TECH license. Use it as it was intended for and don't try making a queen mary from a canoe. Many are still using the very first unit and have no problems http://www.409shop.com/shop_displaynews.php?id=608&userid=100556 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/baofeng_uv5r/ These links will help BOB AF2Q

Sorry, there is little I understand about these ear phones....I have asked for help via internet and have no luck getting help...cannot connect with any AM/FM, and it runs out of juice very quickly when I have it connected to my Kindle, listening to music.

I have a similar need. I use it to listen to TV sound with headphones at night in bed when my wife is asleep. I used to use a Radio with TV audio band. Now with digital law, that stopped working, and I have not yet been able to find a digital version of the TV radio.

Well, I bought one used to be able use in a completely portable fashion like your xmp3. Although the previous owner said it worked fine, mine won't receive a satellite signal. I bought another antenna, but it still won't receive the satellite signal. I want to use it at a sporting event where there is no cell phone reception so I can't use the internet cell phone app. I was thinking about the xmp3, even though it's old and expensive, but I'm not so sure after your comment. I don't know of any other completely portable units, do you?

Hi Mark, I live in the country about 10 miles from the nearest city in Wisconsin. I can honestly say that I have NO problems with reception. I enjoy cutting wood to heat my log home and use a Farmall 400 tractor to help out. At 65 years of age I do have some challenges hearing. However, the music or news I listen to on my 3M Peltor come in very clear. And, I don't have to turn the volume up much. I believe this is because the Peltor's prevent a lot of the outside noise from being heard. I definitely recommend them !!!

I can't answer your question because I was never aware that such problem existed. I am not the best source for your query because I tune this radio to only three stations: The Jazz, classical and 770 talk radio in New Jersey. It perform well with no problems. In short I never tested the entire band with.

I use it only for am when the radio is on, but it is the local "superstation, 50,000 watts. It has a long am antenna like you get with a home stereo receiver. It needs a good spot. I don't search for other stations. Baseball sounds great.

I am also a hearing aid user and I really miss live music. I still go to shows but using HAs really distorts the loud music and listening without looses part of the music even if overall it is loud enough. I am looking for a headphone amp with a graphic equalizer and a stereo microphone for the amp input. If folks have any suggestions, I hope they will post them.

Someone please help. I just bought my Zune 500 Kicker today. Sound quality is awesome. However, I can not get the radio (FM tuner) to play through the speakers. What am I doing wrong? I have even tried setting it to the FM tuner before docking it on the kicker and it still won't play the radio.

I am not a race fan, but seems to me that Nascar is already REALLY loud. These will help with hearing quiet background noise. Such as subtile wildlife noises on a quiet night. You may be looking for noise canceling headphones - that is NOT what these do. However the earphones with the electronic in the off position may help muffle the noise to some degree.

I really like my headphones, but honestly believe that a good set of earplugs would work better. They will work without music playing. I sometimes do this on a plane. They do an excellent job of blanking out the engine drone but I can still hear people talking (albeit at a much reduced volume)
