Bluetooth.
MP3 Player. Remembers Exact Track Position.

Headphone Experience is Decent.
Dedicated Sleep Function Button.
Four FM Band Plans. 64, 76, 87, 87.5 - 108MHz.

Features that could be Added or Improved on:
Longer Tuning Knob. It is a bit on the Thin Side.
Ability to lock in Fast, or the Slow Setting while using the Tuning Knob.
Seek Tuning! It is missing. Browsing isn't the same.
Fix MW Break Through when using the EXT. ANT. Jack.
Quick Tuning using the Right, and Left Arrow Buttons. This would be Fantastic.

Overall, with just a few more tweaks, this Radio is an Absolute Must Have. Right now it is still a Great Recommendation for those Starting their Portable Radio Journey. It is also for those who want a larger radio with a Higher Capacity Battery, Easier to Use Buttons, and Bluetooth/MP3 Player built in.
