How is the radio reception on this product

pretty good and we don't have a lot of radio stations up here in the north country . not so good if you have a lot of power lines over your head . I would buy them again in a mjnute . much better than the yellow 3m head phone

Very good reception. It picks up many radio stations. The digital tuner works well. My husband doesn't have to turn his head to get better reception like he did with the old headset. He uses these mostly in the summer while mowing with a very noisy farm tractor. They drown out the tractor noise very well. I definitely recommend this product!

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 was very disappointed with the reception. Local Indianapolis station 15mi away goes from good to unacceptable 7-8 times as I mow the grass in one direction. I use a Sony AM-FM with them as hearing protection now.

DH uses these in workshop and he said reception is fair, compared to his stationary radio that he uses in workshop. Hope this helps.

My husband isn't too impressed. He uses these earphones while he mows the lawn and the reception goes in and out as he makes turns. This is the second set he has owned. The first set worked very well for years. Maybe these are just lemons.

Very poor reception, very low volume. I got three times the stations with a pocket am,fm radio with head phones. I would not purchase this item again!!

It has been really good actually at receiving signal. I have another radio indoors at home with an external antenna, and i would say they get about the same signal indoors. For me it has had better signal pick up than a lot of the slightly older radios ive used in the past with external antennas.

You need to plug it in a good distance away from the radio, so that the cord is stretched out. That will improve reception, as it did on mine.

For the cost and the size of the unit the FM reception is really good. The only problem is that there is no antenna so you have to use the headphones that come with the unit to get the best reception. I work in a rural part outside of Atlanta and I work in a metal booth that is totally inclosed. I have had reception issues with other headsets and this is by far the best. Hope that helps

I am having NO problems with this at all. This is the second day I have been playing it. CD plays very well. Reception on the radio is great. I live out in the boonies and sometimes can be hard to get a station. No problem with this little gem. For the price, you cant beat it. Its no Bose but you get your moneys worth. got it to use when we go camping and the volume is great. Wont be any problems hearing it. No tinny sound on mine at all. Hope this helps!

I really do not have a problem ... The radio in my car for some reason was not picking up local radio frequencies now that I have this it works well as a fm radio picks up the local frequencies. The player is fine as an MP3 it was a no brainer to load it .... The only set back have is that I bought a 4 gig and I have way more music than that... I had a 32 gig iPod before and it was stolen ... And to be honest I don't miss it... No complaints about this product .... I use it mostly in my car just plug it in the aux and good to go ....

The radio reception is about as good as my car radio. I mostly listen to FM. I live in the Ozarks, so if I am behind a mountain I do not get reception. If I am on top of a mountain the radio pulls in stations very well. I do not know how long the battery lasts using only the radio.

I have had no problems with mine whatsoever, and get plenty of local stations. I get fine reception and the sound quality is good. I don't get all the people giving it such negative reviews. If you are looking for a top-of-the-line system with superior quality, this isn't the one for you. But if you want a small radio with decent sound, this is the one.

Don't really know for sure, seldom use it, but when axdently hit FM it seems loud and clear, but AM is spotty and reception is about a C +.

hi catie , love this thing to death , the re-charge batteries are great , it runs for no less than 12 hrs at work , it has a very high volume output , my only gripe is the reception, it can be terrible at time`s , I have no idea why , but being digital , you can not simply turn the dial to make it come in better , but it does have the ability to use your phone or what ever type of electronics you might have , I do not have any of that crap , just the AM - FM , but for the durability and coolness of the radio , it is worth every penny , just needs a bigger antenna from radio shack or something . hi catie , love this thing to death , the re-charge batteries are great , it runs for no less than 12 hrs at work , it has a very high volume output , my only gripe is the reception, it can be terrible at time`s , I have no idea why , but being digital , you can not simply turn the dial to make it come in better , but it does have the ability to use your phone or what ever type of electronics you might have , I do not have any of that crap , just the AM - FM , but for the durability and coolness of the radio , it is worth every penny , just needs a bigger antenna from radio shack or... » Read More hi catie , love this thing to death , the re-charge batteries are great , it runs for no less than 12 hrs at work , it has a very high volume output , my only gripe is the reception, it can be terrible at time`s , I have no idea why , but being digital , you can not simply turn the dial to make it come in better , but it does have the ability to use your phone or what ever type of electronics you might have , I do not have any of that crap , just the AM - FM , but for the durability and coolness of the radio , it is worth every penny , just needs a bigger antenna from radio shack or something . « Show Less

Yes, it gets great FM reception. It has an FM wire antenna that can be moved around, and it also has a detachable AM antenna. It picks up more stations more clearly than my previous sony cd clock radio.

I listen to AM talk radio so its not to bad with AM. But when listening to FM music you will loose a lot of stereo quality. I do anyway here in Lou,Ky. We are not on flat ground around here. I put my factory antenna back on. I personally don't recommend it.

No - the reception isn't that good. I wouldn't rely on it for its FM receiver.

No problem with my radio. Pulling in FM stations loud and clear from over 100 miles away using the internal antenna. AM reception is rather weak so I've added an external antenna to get better AM reception

My FM reception is good even though my unit is in the basement. I've never had any trouble with reception.

Hmm. This seems to get better reception than a basic pocket radio so I think you would be ok. For the money you could give it a try and see. I use mine inside my garage and reception is crystal clear.
