C. Crane CC Pocket AM?FM Radio with weather, clock and sleep timer and external speaker is great! The wide ranging volume control lets you fine tune its volume, which is great if you want to listen while resting your eyes or going to sleep. You can get it whisper quiet or really loud. All other radios have a narrow range of volume that is not as user friendly as this one. While I don't use the external speaker, preferring to use headphones, it is nice to know it is there when you need it. The supplied ear buds, while of fine quality, are not my cup of tea, as I prefer on the ear soft foam headphones over in ear buds, so I don't use the supplied ear buds. Pulls in stations really well and battery life is excellent. Small size makes it easy to put in a pocket. Has a lock feature so once you select a station, you won't accidently tune off it if you inadvertently hit a button.
