After using another Supersonic radio/SD/USB player (SC-1086) I wasn't expecting too much out of the tuner, but was pleasantly surprised. This one is actually about average. It's no DX receiver, but both FM and MW/AM are reasonably sensitive and selective (for the price). The MW/AM on this particular example tunes up to 1700 KHz, so it does include the new "X band". The SW bands are about what you would expect for something in this price range: it's not going to win any contests, but it works reasonably well for what it is.

The FM dial is a bit out of calibration, but it's not difficult to navigate. Also the tuning dial is the old backwards European style for some reason..right to left.

The SD and USB slots work as they should (though it's a very basic player, and of course there is no readout) and it is SDHC (more than 2GB) compatible. My only complaint is that it does not scan through tracks. Holding down the "REW" or "FF" button raises and lowers the volume. This is a bit of a pain when playing back podcasts should you decide to stop playback. I use an easy to find and free program to split podcasts into 2 minute tracks, so the issue is not that big of a deal.

Overall the sound quality is alright (not shrill or harsh at all), and it puts of a reasonable amount of volume. You'll have no problem hearing it outside at all. Of course the sound is in mono including the (stereo compatible) headphone jack.

I just received my second defective Supersonic 11 band/USB radio. It was defective out of the box, the radio part worked ok but the USB port wouldn't play anything from my flash drive. The flash drive must have been recognized because it's blue light flashed and I heard an electronic whirring noise. But nothing would play, no matter how many times or ways I tried.

The first defective unit was from a different vendor (Outlet). On that radio the USB worked most of the time, the sound was good/loud enough to play podcasts in my noisy car, but the radio (AM/FM) reception was so bad as to be non-functional...you could barely hear only a few stations on AM, and the FM just wasn't there. I was issued a pre-paid mailing label and the refund was made quickly. I tried to get another unit from the vendor but they were out of them.

I've received a pre-paid mailing label from the vendor (Price 2 Save), I'm returning it and may try again since it's hard to find a cheap radio with a USB port and a loud output.

This is your typical cheap chinese electronic device, it's completely pot luck as to whether it will work properly. When it works it's a great deal. But make sure you have a free shipping return policy with it.

The radio plays well. For a cheap radio the sound is very good and loud enough to play it outside. The USB-port has some issues...It doesn't play all songs for some reason it only plays a few songs from my mp3 player...I couldn't figure out why...The mp3 player plays all songs if not plugged in to the radio.
