Product Description
The HD100 is a high-definition Digital Radio that provides superior reception of HD digital AM/FM and existing AM/FM signals. This next-generation radio receives the additional digital channels many FM stations now offer on their current frequency. The crystal-clear sound of HD Radio has virtually no static, fade, hiss, or pops--with improved signal quality that makes AM sound like FM and FM sound like a CD. Unlike satellite radio, HD Radio is free; there is no subscription fee. An internal FM and an external AM antenna provide optimum reception in any environment. Seek control can search for all stations or digital (HD) stations only. Indicator lights show stereo and digital signal detection. The backlit graphical display highlights scrolling text such as station ID, song title, artist and important weather or traffic updates. Intuitive controls include full clock-radio functions, alarm and snooze control and ten station presets (five AM and five FM).

 Radi-osophy HD100 November 30, 2007

Before purchasing this product on the Internet I checked other HD radios.
The more expensive ones: Sangean, Boston Acoustic, had good frequency reproduction, to a much lesser extent the Accurian which sounded dull.
But all of these had poor tuning reception, perhaps because in the stores
the reception was inadequate. Also they were bulkier and somewhat uglier.
None of them sounded as good as my vintage 1970 Grundig portable AM-FM. Like all Grundigs, it had an unbelievable sound, with just one oval speaker. No radio today, has such sound, except perhaps the much more expensive and bulkier Bose models. Thirty years of progress in reverse, too bad that Grundig no longer produces these superior radios, only a few shortwaves.
Now, back to the Radiosophy HD100. I just bought it and let me tell you,
it's a great HD radio. Do not expect any kind of HI-FI from the tiny
3" speakers. But they do a good job of reproducing clean music and speech. The unit is made and sold by an American company. They believe in what they do. The tuning here in Center City Phila is excellent for FM and HD (Not as good for AM, electrical noises) But the HD is superb. Perfect auto tuning on all HD stations, flawless reception with no noise
or any other disturbances.
Price is good (well worth the $ 99 tag)Amazon shipped it to me with free shipping. Good deal.
Small size fits everywhere, only the bulky power supply is a pain, wish
they had it built-in. Overall great, you'll love this small wonder.

Great little radio for the money! November 18, 2007

This little radio sounds great and its features were easy for me to learn how to use. Its tuning and seeking features are especially nice and I am thrilled to have all of the extra channels without any extra monthly fees like it costs for satellite radio! I also really like being able to switch quickly to local radio stations for news, unlike internet or satellite radio. I've paid about the same price in the past for regular radios or other kinds of music players and have been very disappointed in the reception and sound quality. I am not disappointed with this radio - for the money, it has been a good buy for me - getting many hours of enjoyment out of it.

I just received my HD100 2 days ago and on vacation in an area in Florida where the AM reception is very poor but the HD100 picked up many stations and some in HD. The FM reception is really great and a quarter of the stations where in HD. Im from the Mid-West near a large city and can't wait to get back home because Im sure the the reception will be GREAT.
I have also checked out the other features of this radio and all work well, I had read a review that said there were no options for the alarm, WRONG!!!
I have been using the radio for wake-up.
I highly recommend this radio and the price is great for all its features.
Clarity of sound from my radiosophy HD radio receiver February 10, 2008

I really enjoy my HD radio receiver from radiosophy. I have a basement kitchen, where my new radio is located. With other standard radios, reception has been a problem. I am delighted that the reception problem has been completely eliminated with my new, inexpensive radio from radiosophy. I do a lot of chores in the basement. While I am working, I love to listen to a wide variety of music and talk. My HD radio has marvelous clarity without the need of an antenna, even in the basement. I can turn up or turn down the volume without distortion, and enjoy listening to a wide selection of stations.
This Radio Does The Job July 26, 2008

I have had this radio for a few days now and it does a terrific job. I live in the country 30 miles outside of Seattle and have been frustrated with standard AM/FM reception. I read the Amazon reviews for this radio and was a little reluctant because it only achieved a 3.3 out of 5 star rating. The price was attractive though so I finally decided to go for it.
What a nice surprise. The radio looks good, and is easy to operate. I was listening to crystal clear HD radio 2 minutes after removing it from the box. I can now listen to a wide selection of Seattle and surrounding stations anytime day or night that were previously fuzzy or out of reach.
As for the sound quality, I don't know why some of the reviews hammered it so hard. I am not a total audiophile but I am also not clueless and I know when the sound quality is plenty good enough - and this radio is plenty good enough.
I do not plan on using it as a clock radio and because I move it around the house I don't usually leave it plugged in all of the time, so I can't comment on other reviewers notes about power supply heating.
If you want an HD radio that doesn't break the bank, is easy to operate, and sounds great playing on the kitchen counter then this one is well worth the try.
