The sound is excellent and I forgive the 5 star. The included earplugs are good, but really impressed me was the sound of my Koss PortaPro. It's amazing what the lightweight makes then. The radio is good for listening to messages, but stereo reception is a multiple-if, that is, when the transmitter is strong enough, when you stand in the right place and if you position the cord correctly. But to hear messages or for overdriven local pop station it is a practical addition. The operation is more what. For people with fine motor skills The functional relationships are used to (combined with rotary pushbutton function), but the learning curve is fast - even with people who are like I almost never look in manuals. The blue illuminated high resolution display is only for people with perfect vision, the presentation of information, however, is well thought out (eg appear in the FM frequency indication also an analog bar that shows the transmitter position). Two points might prepare (Kojunktiv!) Problems: The lineout output provides such a low level that you have to turn up the volume the volume control so that the usual volume you get to the amplifier). Eh funny that LineOut is ever regulated, but that is maybe the battery economy. The NiMH batteries are not commercially available (neither AA nor AAA), if they have to be replaced once, it can be expensive. A word about the bundled software: I've been playing it and soon de-installed. I was all about screaming colorful. I have replaced it with the free iTunes. With 192kB / s I can not hear any differences to the original. The generated with iTunes MP3 CDs are fully compatible, ie also the title (pieces and album) are abgezeigt properly. Conclusion: I would buy again.
