Score 8.0/10

Paul, Bognor Regis , “Spoken-word listener”

+ Neat design, easy to use.

- Battery life seems poor - first set of batteries were used within a couple of weeks. But could have been the batteries themselves so have kept a note when they were fited to see how long they last. Only have radion on for roughly 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes at night so should last decent time. Otherwise product is ok.
