This is a very nice little radio. The 4 features that were most important to me were: 1) microSD card support 2) a telescoping antenna for better reception 3) presets for stations 4) USB recharging. The system allows a 64GB microSD card and switching between directories on the card. This is more music capacity than most will need. Most of the buttons in the control section are station presets in radio modes and navigation controls in in other modes. Radios this size do not produce high fidelity, but the sound is good and satisfying. I have not tried using it as a music source for a HiFi system. Possibly it would supply a HiFi signal to such a system. The little key-like piece that come attached to the lanyard is a nice addition that allows the radio to stand vertically on a flat surface. I have 2 suggestions for a future design upgrade: 1) a shuffle setting for recorded music and 2) a bass boost circuit. I notice some reviewers complain about that the card slot stops working over time. I would guess they are swapping cards too frequently. With a 64GB memory card and the ability to have multiple directories one should be able to load plenty of music in very access able ways: 1 album or playlist per directory? Read more
This is so cute. It's pretty loud for it's size. I'm very happy with it. Good buy Read more
This radio is pretty good for a little pocket sized radio. The only con I would say, is the screen scratches super easy it was really easy to figure out considering I am a 26-year-old woman, and most of these comments that I read were older people that needed to read the manual, but I live in a big city and I connect to all the stations. It’s pretty loud. The flashlight works great and it’s cute. Really great for the price. Read more
I use this portable radio to listen to music while I shower. I've had it for over a year and it still works great, despite the humid environment! I don't have it inside my shower; I have it on a wall shelf just outside my shower curtain. I didn't think it would work as well or as long as it has been, but I'm pleasantly surprised. It gets great reception, it's easy to control the volume and change radio stations, it's small enough but not flimsy, and the charge lasts a long time. I turn on my music every time I shower - every day for about 30-40 minutes and usually re-charge it every 4 weeks, which takes about 2-3 hours to reach full charge. I strongly recommend if you like listening to the radio while in the shower! Read more
Ok, I really like this radio. It goes to work with me quite often. The biggest problem is with the plug in part. It quit after a month. The plug will not stay in on its own. I have had to resort to a plug from a different device and it has to be wiggled and not moved until fully charged. It sounds good still. Read more
I was looking for a small portable radio that would also play music I already own while I am not in my house so I don't have to use up data on my phone. So far, this little radio works great. Sound/Volume: The volume is great. I only go about a quarter to midway on the volume when I am outside working. The sound is crisp – no problems if the radio station is clear or if using your own music. Radio Stations: When I turned on the radio, there were 12 stations that are uploaded based on where I am located and the signal strength. A few I wanted were not pre-loaded, so I just manually entered them. I recommend finding a list of your zip code’s radio stations and having them handy. Micro SD Card/USB Use: I purchased a 64G micro sd card along with the radio. It worked fine, but I decided that I wanted to split up the music by playlists or genre instead of playing everything. I ended up purchasing a set of 10 - 32G USB flash drives with a case. For me, the USB drives ended up being a better price than purchasing that many Micro SD Cards. You can just play them as they are loaded on your card/drive, enter the file number. You can also set it to continually repeat. Formatting of Music/SD Card: This is important – They clearly state that the Micro SD Card or USB flash drive will need to be formatted to FAT32 Format before use. I ended up having to download the format as it was not an option listed on my laptop. It only took a few minutes to find this on the internet and download it for use. Also, most of my music was not in the MP3 format and I ended up downloading an app to do this. Once I found one I liked that was also free, I was able to save the music I wanted in the new format without changing the original files. Overall, I highly recommend this product. It is small enough that I can put it in either my shirt or pants pocket when carrying it to where I am working. It also fits nicely in my purse or glove box when carrying it anywhere else. It works as advertised and I am very happy with my purchase so far. Read more
Bought this radio because it said it could be charged with *ANY* compatible USB cable. False. You need a rarely found mini USB cable. (We have a dozen USB micro cables, but not 1 mini USB.) Bad design. Not sure why they couldn't have chosen a standard cell micro cable. The rechargeable battery is the rarely found, expensive BL5C. Good luck finding a replacement during an emergency. Bad choice. Not sure why standard, rechargeable AA couldn't be been used. All the buttons are blank. But the labels appear BETWEEN the buttons instead. So you never know if the labels refer to the button above... or below. The very tiny buttons could have easily been twice as big, and easier to hit, and labelled. But they aren't. All the buttons are raised, instead of recessed in, so you'll be hitting random buttons if this is ever put into a purse, pocket, or bag. The hand-strap is permanently attached and has to be cut off with scissors if you find it annoying. A tiny "key" is used in order to get the radio to stand up. Plug it into a keyhole on the back. It's so small, the radio will easily fall over if you try to change channels or touch it in any way. How hard can it be to make a simple radio with some decent features? Or even some common-sense features? Read more
Excellent radio. Read more
