Very attractive especially with the protection silicone accessory sold at a reasonable price. The back is shiny metal. The whole gives an impression of solidity. The reception sensitivity is good (you can for areas of poor reception improve a bit by using wired headphones with slightly longer than the original). RDS (station name display and broadcast song) works well. The menus are clear and intuitive A must for radio amateurs who move, especially since it has significantly declined from the original price. One regret: digital radio (DAB) in France is not available, except for a few experimental stations) unlike other European countries ... But that the manufacturer and Amazon are there for nothing.
