Due to a bit of nifty photography you cannot see that this radio has and external arial, which needs extending in order to get the best FM reception. And it does not come with ear phones so don't forget to order them if required. I bought this to replace a much loved but recently deceased predesessor to the Roberts R994 (the one without the integral loudspeaker which doesn't seem to be made any more) to listen to whilst walking the dog. That said most of my listening is Radio 4 & 5 Live on LW & MW so the arial is not a huge issue for me. The sound quality is excellent, even with the loud speaker despite it's small size. Okay it won't compete with a full size radio in the loud speaker department, this is really for listening to at close quarters in a quite space or with ear phones. If you want a kitchen/workshop radio buy something bigger. This is perfect for LW & MW on the move.
Update: I bought and reviewed this item in March 2011. Ten months later I want to update the review - and downgrade the star rating. It has moved from a four star to a three star. Don't get me wrong I still like the radio, but a couple of things about it annoy me. Firstly as one of the other reviewers pointed out the tuning and volume knobs are disturbed too easily when the radio is in your coat pocket resulting in either loss of signal or having your eardrums blown out if the knobs rub against the inside of your pocket - particularly if you bend down, which a responsible dog owner does at least once every dog walk. Secondly the reception on MW, particularly 5 Live on 693, is difficult to find. This appears to be a recent phenomenon. If you pass over the wave band the radio doesn't give e flicker of recognition or sign that you have passed over the station. The dial has to be stopped precisely on the wavelength, a fraction of a turn either side and you get nothing. LW & FW are still fine.
Overall I am a bit dissapointed in the radio - I now realise I shouldn't have been such a skinflint and bought the Roberts R9994 Radio instead.

This radio was purchased to replace a battered but much loved Roberts R9924 and seems to be a redesigned version of that. The sound is excellent on all bands with little fading or hiss. It is a little smaller than it's predecessor so can more justly be called a 'pocket radio'. It seems to retain the good build quality associated with Roberts and the black finish will probably last longer (the silver finish on the R9924 tended to rub off after a while). Check out the reviews for the Roberts R9924 Sports 924 3-Band Portable Radio with Long Wave as it is essentially the same and is still being produced, just pick the style you prefer.

I needed a pocket radio with Long Wave. This radio ticked all the boxes. It could easily
fit into an inside pocket,picked up all the stations with a clear reception and was a very sturdy Radio.
Since purchased, it has had a few tumbles but due to the robust nature of it's construction it
still works perfectly.I would purchase another of these R9924 Radio's if anything should befall my Roberts.
Highly Recommended!!!
One slight criticism would be that the earphone socket should be closer to the top.

I bought this to receive TMS on long wave. The reception is much better than the ancient (+10years) radio it replaced.
