 JunkNov 19, 2006
By Lee Harvey
This is worthless, do not purchase. I bought this since my I-Pod FM device crapped out and didn't feel like dropping $50 on a new one. I have a CD player with FM that works fine, but is a bit bulky so I wanted something smaller. This is not it. Reception sucks and I don't think a single station comes through. Not worth the effort and cost to return either. You have been warned!!!

Nice idea, bad productMay 18, 2008
By R. Lewis
"samplerman"
I received my JX-M11 just yesterday. Looks like a good product. Inserted two AAA batteries and set the time. First thing I noticed is that the radio is only MONO. The reception is the worse. Out of 50 local FM stations, it would pic up about 10. The PLL tuner rejects all but the strongest stations. Image rejection is the problem. Not a good tuner. The buttons are hard to learn and very cryptic. The alarm is loud enough to get noticed but at a very high frequency. It retains memory when changing the batteries and that's one of the only good things about it. I wouldn't spend over $10 for a unit like this. Oh yes, it EATS BATTERIES.

 Not as bad as all thatMay 26, 2009
By JGK
I bought this to replace my Panasonic Sports Walkman
which I really loved. No love for the M11.
The JX-M11 is clearly cheap, but that isn't a drawback
in itself. The battery cover fit is very poor and it is
a struggle to get the cover latch to engage every time
I must FREQUENTLY replace the pair of AAA batteries
(my Panasonic took just one AA battery which seemed to
last forever).
The JX-M11 does eat batteries faster than I'd like,
which could be due to the fact that there is a clock
function (which I do not need/want). There is a low
battery indicator but by the time this finally appears
the battery seems to have about a minute left before
the audio level fades and the unit turns off -- unlike
my Panasonic which provided a battery life remaining
indicator showing full, 3/4, half, and 1/4 levels.
I have misplaced the instructions which came with the M11
(and the JWIN site [...] FAILS to include
the instructions for the M11 from among their many products !?).
Consequently, when I tried setting the clock, after one of
the MANY battery burn outs which came unexpectedly, I somehow
ended up setting the ALARM (another thing I did not need/want),
and am now unable to CLEAR this useless and IRRITATING
"feature" -- and inexplicably the M11 REMEMBERS the
alarm even after removing the battery!
It's also the case on this particular unit that the digital
tuning is mis-calibrated, so that in order to get any reception
I must tune to the desired frequency + 0.2 (a fix I discovered
by trial and error). Another IRRITATING "feature" is that the
10 presets may only be accessed sequentially in ascending order
via the MEMO button, so to get to preset 1 from preset 2 you
must press the MEMO button to cycle thru the 8 presets 3 thru 10
to get back to 1 (so if you only use a few presets then you need
to program them at the higher preset numbers as well for ease of
access).
Lastly, while there is a HOLD function/button it operates
in a toggle mode, and OFF requires pressing the button
continuously for 2 seconds -- which is easy to accidentally
do if you put the M11 in your pocket or just grip it when
un-clipping the belt-clip. It would be much better if the
HOLD control were a slide type switch, or if HOLD-OFF used
some other sequence of button operations less likely to occur
by accident. The on-screen HOLD ON indictor is a tiny key symbol
which appears in a hard to see screen position, so an audible
indication of HOLD OFF would be a BIG improvement too.
In summary, it seems looks to me that the M11 was designed
by, the design evaluated by, and the M11 tested by a pack of
[...]. However if you just listen to one or two stations,
don't mind frequently replacing the batteries, and can find
this for $[...] or $[...] (instead of the $[...] list price, or MORE
at some sites!), then you'll probably be happy -- unlike me.
