Get the e100 if you have extra $ $ $ roll to Bud, I bought this radio a few weeks and so far I am very happy. This radio is an ultra lightweight, only slightly larger than a deck of cards. I wanted a specific goal: a stable radio reception to offer me entertained when I run. Every other day, I go for a run of one hour, and despite the fact that two iPods (shuffle and video), I enjoy listening to live radio when I run. Ipods are great, but unless you upload content on a daily basis, they are boring. Even if you have 10,000 songs on your iPod, these are all old songs tomorrow! Before I bought and tried a Sony SRF-M37, based on glowing reviews online. I came the next day: the sound terrible, even the poor reception of the strongest stations in my city, Winnipeg (Canada). I decided to try the Grundig Eton G1100 after trying local origin (the former "Radio Shack") I have not found many reviews on this online radio, so I thought I could share my opinions. Here's what I like about it: 1) It uses two AA batteries instead of AAA batteries. This provides plenty of power for headphones, Grado SR80 headphones also full size as the Sennheiser HD 485 o. Both headsets, among other things, to improve the sound quality immensely. 2) The reception has been excellent so far. Listening to AM and FM bands, and all the listening stations to come in crystal clear when I run out. 3) The rubber coating on the radio, it is easy to grasp with one hand. This is ideal when you travel, which I think is the target of a radio of this size. 4) Large, easy to read LCD screen lights up automatically when you press the buttons, or when you turn the dial. 5) Simple and easy: Just like on the radio on my desk in Boston receptive g1100 Grundig has a simple logic to press the button, turn the automatic adjustment, volume control, and you're ready! No knowledge of dampers, local / DX adjustments, or the difference between mono / stereo FM radio is required to use these functions if you like, consider a different model. If you like a lot of options, try the Eton E100: Radio Nice, but expensive ($ 90 dollars in my town). 6) small speakers do not work when you want to use headphones. The sound is bright and surprisingly small given the size of it. But it works in a pinch, not music, but good for the radio show. The internal speaker is also useful, because sometimes the headphones produce more static and interference on the radio (which I found not only in this radio, but others like my Sony 7600gr). Disconnect the headphones and use the internal speaker often alleviates interference caused by headphone. I have an e100 Eton, which has a speaker that sounds better, with a switch to reduce high-frequency sounds the best e100, but is more expensive. 7) Headphones FM sound is clear. With good headphones, which is capable of producing decent sharp and clear with good stereo separation. The sound is bright, very sharp, but pleasant. It really depends on the headphones you use. Still be audible, but not as authoritarian M37 Sony. The sound is better on my Sony 7600gr, but I paid six times the price for the radio, so I hope it sounds better. The Eton E100 also sounds better on headphones, but again, it is also more expensive than the g1100. 8) Built in telescopic antenna for FM: I think that's why this radio is much better on FM stations to take over the M37 Sony. Other portable radios just tried to use the headphone cable to get FM. 9) This thing just looks good. Making charcoal, almost black out, simple uncluttered interface and the manual adjustment knob, it looks retro and modern at the same time, there are some disadvantages to consider: 1) No presets: I wanted to set.
