The sound from the speaker is good though, as long as you get good reception

The reception on this radio is very poor.

Figured he would also like listening to the news or music, but the radio doesn't have great reception so he ends up just using the clock

has poor reception couldnt get any fm stations returned radio to amazon

This radio does not get very good reception, the dials are hard to adjust and it stopped working completely after only s couple months.

using it every day good reception

The reception is far better than my old one.

Good reception

We don't use the clock feature, so I can't review that part of it, but we get good reception on both the AM and FM bands.

On a side-note, I tried to at least tune the radio on the unit that feature worked on, and the reception was abysmal.

Reception is terrible; out of approximately 12 stations to choose from, it only picked up about 4

Terrible reception in places not very close to the broadcast sources--needs a way to add antenna capability.

The reception isn't perfect, but it is much better than cheaper options

Better reception than I expected

( I purchased this shower radio as a Christmas present at the end of November for my husband therefore it wasnt opened until December 25th and quit working by February 13th.) ;( when the radio did work it had great quality sound and reception
