I tried several different sets, the Howard Leight by Honeywell worked the best for me. Somewhat directional on am, but ok. I also listen to am but I work outside. Hope this helps.

We haven't tried any others, but the Howard Leight Hi-Vis is pretty good for us out in the twigs. The reception varies with the atmospherics, of course, but my husband is a talk-radio guy and he's pleased with this set.

The Howard Leight plays Am and FM. What sold me is that it keeps the station in tune better than any of the others even with the vibration of sitting on a riding lawnmower all day with 5 aces of lawn to mow. Batteries last a long time too.

There are many other variables to consider that i do not know about your circumstances, but the howard leights work for me just fine on am talk.

my husband says it is the best set he has ever used and would buy these again

I don't use AM, only FM and the reception is excellent. I use it on my desk at my house, that is on the 5th floor.

lucky you. you have what i consider the finest radio of this type yet produced. there is a switch on the radios left side that will let you select between headphone and speaker use. i rate this radio a SOLID five stars. bar raising product.

I just read your comments and was wondering which product you were talking about. I also have a hard time finding a bluetooth or head phones that stay on my ears. I have almost completely given up on a bluetooth, but was considering trying one of the bluetooth headsets that go behind your neck or over your head? Any suggestions?

That's why I bought I RULU. I have an inexpensive AM/FM radio with an "External Input" jack that disables the radio and amplifies the I RULU.Robert explained it well in his previous post.

on this one you all ways have to wear those headphones on the time. on all portable cd players like you have now with difftrent brand names will always req. a headphone jack all the time. there are small speakers you can buy to hook up your headphone jack outlet. if you have a radio shack near by ask for one. or they can order you one. -- mark

My experience has been with a pair of headphones when using shortwave. Its not bad doing FM for ambient background either. .rest assured it will never sound like a BOSE! Hope this helps

I'm not sure what you are using the headphones for, but I use AKG 240 headphones as a radio disc jockey. It is important I hear the audio clean and at times loud. I have never needed another amplifier. They are comfortable to wear but they do have their own "sound" so you may need a day to get used to them. I have yet to run into anyone that doesn't prefer them over the headphones they have.

It is analog. There is a small dial on the side of the right headphone, as long as you know what station your looking for its easy.

Glad you asked this q as I am wondering the same thing! From what I can tell from research is that the tough talking one has a version of a radio that plays set tunes/microphone (which may be a fun add) and the color - both got great reviews. if you decided on one would be interested to hear which one you went with- thx!

Hi Carole, I've been on the hunt for the over the head ones too. Finally found some.... Check out Sennheiser PX 685i,Aiwa HP-JBS301, and Maxell HB-202.

The stations I listen to on AM come through loud and clear. I mostly listen to sports and political talk shows when I drive my wife's car (where this stereo is installed).

Yes, go to Radio Shack. They have an earphone headset which in my opinion is far superior to TV ears. It is wireless and the headset sits on top of your head just like the radio engineers wear. It has volume control, and has replaceable/rechargeable batteries. I had three sets of TV ears and they either broke or the battery would only last for an hour before I had to place them on the charger. No such problems with the Radio Shack headset.

Michael, I mostly listen to FM. I have the radio under a florescent light and the AM has a backround hum for me. I would ask someone who primarily listens to AM about it. I love the FM. Reception clear with many stations. I use it every day.

I'd say the audio quality is very high-clear, detailed, and crisp for a radio this type, because it has bass and treble buttons to adjust to your sound taste. I'm a pc game player online on a daily basis and I have a very high-end soundcard, speaker system, and headset. I know the difference between bad noise and great sound. This radio can easily pickup AM and FM signals clearly without interference due to an enhanced signal gain feature. There is one minor drawback I'd say is that it's may be big and bulky to someone.

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.

Don't Know the model but I don't think they are making these anymore with AM/FM. Haven't used it at all, yet!@
