from www.amazon.com
this is not for you if you are expecting sound comparable to a big buck stereo system, but it has very good reception on both am and fm and sounds quite good for a little plastic radio.

great product, easy to install, speaker sound is great, and the remote has a magnet for the fridge (groovy).

from DWR from Bristow, VA, www.circuitcity.com
we haven't used the radio much, but it sounds fine.
from www.abt.com
the sound quality on the radio seems fine, it is easy to set multiple alarms, and the snooze button is sufficiently large and far away from the clock-setting buttons.
from www.abt.com
sound quality is fine for what it is meant for.
from www.abt.com
the cons are minor, but they are there...first, when you set the alarm to buzzer, it emits a rather soft beeping sound, which a sound sleeper could probably sleep through.

from www.target.com
the tuner makes it easy to find a station and the speaker gives decent sound; however, you would not buy this radio if you were looking for the finest sound on the market.
from www.pricegrabber.com
although it features dual alarms, it is not possible to set both to the radio (one of them must be set to that horrible buzzing sound that puts me in a bad mood for the first 2 hours of the day).
from www.pricegrabber.com
sound quality is good given that it is a mass market clock radio.
from www.pricegrabber.com
the sound quality of the radio from the single speaker is very good.

from CrabbyLady2, www.pricegrabber.com
it would be annoying.i wouldn't be without one of these radios.i have no plans on using the am/fm radio unless there is an extended power failure, so the quality of the sound is unimportant to me.
from www.amazon.com
the radio sounds the alarm and gives you the emergency weather information from the national weather service before the weather man (or woman) announces it on tv!!
from www.amazon.com
set the radio up in about 20 minutes, and it wasn't about three hours later that the alarm sounded and a verbal tornado warning was posted.
from www.amazon.com
i am impressed with the volume of sound from the alarm-if it won't wake the user up, he must be dead anyway.
from www.amazon.com
the sound quality is great, and it alerts me of any bad sever thunderstorms we get.
