This unit's sturdy belt clip has a stabilizing frame to keep it from moving around while you're exercising, and a hand strap offers a sure grip when you're really sweating. The cassette buttons are large and well-spaced, making them easy to push during a hard-core workout; however, we found the number of buttons to be lacking when compared to other portable players. And we had difficulty reading the Play, Fast-Forward, and Rewind buttons while on the run because of sun glare off the casing's silver finish. On the other hand, tuning in AM/FM radio stations was a breeze. The five black, programmable buttons--which program up to 20 different stations--are easily located, as they contrast against the player's yellow surface. We also found the digital display easy to read.
