"Sound Advice: HD Radio a less than compelling product"
"If a $69 HD Radio does indeed exist, at $69 the speakers and electronics behind it are likely to be of poor quality, which will compromise sound quality so much that any potential performance benefits from the HD Radio will be obscured or wiped out altogether... That said, I don't find HD Radio to be that compelling."

This reporter is correct in that the $59 (regularly $120) Radiosophy HD100's and the Accurian HD's 2 1/2" speakers are worthless. HD radios are so expensive, partly due to the licensing fees to iBiquity, that HD radios under $250 are junk.
