It offers better sound quality The HD Radio sound quality delivers deeper bass, higher treble, more stereo separation, and a greater dynamic range (the difference between the loudest and quietest sounds) than FM or AM signals.

There are more than, 2,000 HD Radio stations across the U.S., according to iBiquity Digital, the company that developed the technology. Still, HD Radio is only in its infancy. Unlike digital TV, HD Radio broadcasts won't replace analog broadcasts (at least not in the near future) but will run parallel to them.

The best solution for you is to connect your phone to your car's stereo and use an app for HD Radio. I'd suggest using either a streaming app like the ones AppAdvice recommends, or the proprietary app from a station you might like. WLRN, a classical radio station local to you, has free apps for both iOS and Android.

Consumer Reports Disses HD Radio Many drivers aren't even aware that their car has HD Radio, let alone what it is, or how to use it. For all that, though, HD Radio isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

HD Radio is used primarily by AM and FM radio stations in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with a few implementations outside North America.

If there are HD Radio stations in your area, then a head unit that includes the technology may be worth the investment. HD Radio offers more content and higher audio quality than standard radio, and there is no monthly fee, unlike satellite radio.

Our general experience has been that HD signal coverage is slightly less than typical analog AM or FM coverage. This means that if you can receive a clear signal on the normal AM or FM station signal, you have a good chance of receiving the HD digital with a proper radio.
