PRUNUS J-160 Portable Retro battery Small Radio with Bluetooth Speaker

It's not very often I feel compelled to write a review for something, but this little radio has really impressed me. Now bear in mind that it is much smaller than it looks in the photographs (it is shorter even than a can of coke), nevertheless it has rich and deep sounding audio with a satisfying amount of bass, although not too much. It feels weighty and really quite high-quality. The tuning dial is a pleasure to use, it has a nice amount of resistance and can be tuned delicately and precisely with a good degree of accuracy. The illumination on the tuning dial is really quite special, it is a warm golden colour and really evokes the feel of a tungsten lamp inside an old radio and elevates the aesthetic a lot. Not only does it look fantastic, it also makes for an easier time tuning into the radio station you want in poor light! FM, AM and SW stations all come in very clear, of course with FM being the highest quality by far, and given the small antenna size, the reception is excellent. Better even than some other, much more expensive radios I have with much larger antennas! Unfortunately I haven't yet had time to test the bluetooth and USB/TF card features. There are a few negatives I ought to mention. The radio charges via mini-USB which at this point feels quite dated, I don't really own any mini-USB cables anymore, but luckily one is included with the radio so you are good to go! Not a major issue, but I would have liked to have seen micro-USB or preferably USB-C. Secondly, the volume dial is both quite stiff and also far too sensitive. It's a fraction of a millimeter between inaudible and far too loud for my tastes, it's a little tricky to find a sweet spot, especially with the dial being so stiff. Lastly the mode switch is also quite stiff, and is fairly ambiguous to which mode you're in, the little notch doesn't point exactly to the modes as displayed on the radio, but it's not difficult to easily find out so this isn't a big problem. Overall I am much more impressed with this radio than I ever expected to be, it's a complete joy to use and listen to, and much more than a novelty! I haven't yet drained the battery after fully charging it so I can't comment on the battery life!

Love this little radio Bluetooth speaker. Retro looking. Bought as present for my mum who struggles to hear when listening to podcasts on her phone. She loves it and its simplicity. This amplifies so she can hear. Easy to recharge and no batteries!! I have one too and keep by the shower so can listen to radio or connect to phone to listen to radio or podcasts. If you are looking for a beat box with blasting sound this is not it. But as a portable radio and speaker - great. It is smaller than it looks in pictures - so check dimensions.

Super little radio with great sound. Now the second one I've bought and giving as a gift. Looks good and I'm thrilled with mine

I love this smart little radio. Good sound quality, easy to tune BUT every time I switch it on I have to faff about getting the volume right. There’s barely a breath between too quiet and too loud. Infuriating.

This is my 2nd Prunus portable radio, it has very good sound for a small radio and 'sensible' actual knobs for the on/off + volume, rather than a wheel on the side (which always break and make radios useless). It looks very cute too and a nice colour red. The rechargeable battery system means no plugs or cables to clutter up worktops and you can also plug in music MP3 /AUX jacks etc. Like the last one I bought over year ago (which is still working perfectly), I'd highly recommend this one too.

I’ve had this radio only a short time but am really impressed by its quality , both in looks & sounds . Once powered up the knobs are easily adjustable & it’s small & very portable. No plugging into the mains for this one apart from a boost when battery running low. I have had it only a short time but it’s perfect for my summerhouse . The reception is good & the sound clear. The price was very favourable too.

Just brilliant. I now own three of these and my daughter has one too.

This radio speaker is a reasonable product. It is functional and is quite light. It is not the most durable and the sound quality is not the greatest. There is also not Bluetooth connectivity. It is however easy to use and is overall an okay product.

Una monada. Excelente conectividad y mucho más potente de lo que pudiera parecer por su tamaño. Suena muy limpia, incluso la radio y tiene bastante autonomía. El color rubí y su estilo retro llaman la atención de todo el mundo. El precio también es correcto, toda vez que lo que buscaba era precisamente este: poco espacio, diseño atractivo, potencia y robustez. Una auténtica MONADA, en fin...

Kleines süßes Retro- Look Küchenradio. Klang und Lautstärke völlig ausreichend wenn man in der Küche zu tun hat. Platzsparend, einfach toll!

J’ai acheté cette petite radio pour le Noël 🎄 🎁 de ma maman de 87 ans. Elle remplace celle qu’elle avait depuis plus de 40 ans dans la cuisine et franchement je ne regrette pas du tout mon achat Elle trop mignonne avec son look années ‘40-‘50. Le rouge est juste trop beau. Elle est qualitative et ne fait pas du tout plastique de mauvaise qualité comme d’autres modèles. Mais surtout …. Cette petit radio en a dans le ventre !!! elle a un son de folie pour une si petite taille ; je n’en reviens pas. Mon gendre m’avait dis que c’était une bonne marque et il avait raison 😂 Il y a une prise USB, un emplacement pour une carte mémoire, une prise jack, et une micro usb pour la brancher. Le réglage des stations et d’une facilité déconcertante. Les boutons sont petits, mais pas trop ; ils sont tous très accessibles, même pour les personnes âgées. Si vous voulez une petite radio, qui fonctionne parfaitement, avec un son de grande qualité, portable pour pouvoir l’emporter partout (elle rentre même dans un sac à mains 🤣) et pas chère…. alors foncer et profitez bien de votre achat moi je l’adore et ma maman aussi

En plus d'être très belle avec son look oldschool et son imitation bois sur les côtés et au-dessus, elle envoie du bon son, assez fort, malgré sa petite taille. Les radios pouvant lire les clés USB se font rares en plus.. vous l'aurez compris, j'en suis ravi.

This is a v cute little radio, and the sound is really good.
