- AM FM Portable Radio,Personal Pocket Radio Rechargeable with Best Reception,Long Battery Life,Stereo Earphone,Small Digital Transistor Radios for Hiking,Walking,Jogging

got this to save battery life on my phone as well as data since radio station apps use a lot of data it seems. for something this cheap I was not expecting much. It is not tiny but that is okay with me as readability is helpful...function is simple and easy to figure out. I have not used the headphones since I have better ones so I can not review those. Oddly, many more stations came in on it than my desktop radios. This is important as we live in a rural area and most items struggle to get stations and those that do sound rough. When I travel I like to save the phone charge and data if I am just doing radio stations. This seems to work for that. It weighs hardly anything. It has a big display so if that is helpful for you then....yah....it also lights up so reading this is easy enough I dont need to find my reading glasses. Have not tested how long it goes on a single charge yet. Only plus would be a micro sd slot.....but the price would be more I would expect.

I used to buy the SanDisk Clip for its built in FM radio. 5 to be exact. The trouble is the earphone jack usually failed. The solder tabs to the circuit board would fail even with careful use. I’ve not had any problems with this radio. This radio looks to be made by several Chinese manufacturers but the quality of mine is good both in build quality and performance. The SanDisk Clip also has a MP3 player but I don’t need that feature and never used it. I just needed a small earphone FM radio and this is perfect for me. I like the larger screen too.

What I LIKE: the interface is about as close to the original iPOD as you can get in a radio. It's perfect for touch-only operation, such as during the night. Surely nobody has a patent on the wheel?? This is the perfect design for radio controls. Alas, there are too many flaws to make this product usable. With reluctance, I sent it back, taking advantage of Amazon's generous return policy. CONS: When you Auto-scan for stations, the radio finds strong signals and auto-stores them to up to 30 memory locations. That's more than enough. Unfortunately, it doesn't start at the beginning. It misses the first two strong stations and one weaker one, and starts with #4. The rest of the spectrum is scanned appropriately. Since there is no way to manually store stations and the auto-scan doesn't work correctly, this is a deal-breaker. The "best" stations on FM are usally low on the dial, such as NPR, college, and nonprofit stations. This radio skips them all and starts at 90.7. I ran the scan repeatedly to no avail. Secondly, the antenna is not terrific. The earbuds wire serves as the FM antenna, but it's not strong. Stations often cut out and weaker stations are missed altogether. It's not the wire's fault. I changed earbuds to other sets and got the same results. The problem is in the antenna circuitry: it's inadequate. Third, The sound quality is only so-so, not terrible, but not remarkable either. Again, it's not the fault of the earbuds, since I swapped them out to test. Finally, the FM spectrum on this radio starts around 60 MHz. I don't think there is a station in America that broadcasts below 88MHz, so there's nothing down there. This matters because every time you reach the top of the dial (around 109 MHz), the radio cycles back to 60MHz and there's a long wait while it tediously cycles by tenths through all the frequencies to get back up to 88.1MHz. That's an incomprehensible design that makes for an ongoing annoyance. The radio itself is adorably cute and the wheel interface is to die for. Alas, the thing just doesn't work right, a real tragedy. I recommend instead the comparable Retekess radio: www.amazon.com/dp/B019BYBR48?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Top line: I like enough to buy it again when my first one died. I take it with me to Wrigley for Cubs games to get game insights I can't get off the scoreboard. I do about 40 games a year. Pluses: The best thing is that it is small and light enough that I can thread the wrist strap through a button hole in my jersey, and it's hardly noticeable. It's easy enough to turn on and off that I can skip the commercials without looking. It has plenty of volume to get over the crowd noise. Minuses: Tuning is meh. The headphone cord is the antenna. The Cubs station is at AM 670; my old one showed that as AM 666 for the first couple of years, which I found amusing and didn't hurt anything. Reception is pretty good, but can be a little spotty. I sometimes have to move it a little (put it on my knew or whatever). It's not a big hassle, but it's not great. The worst part was that the battery only lasted for three years. The first year, it could do three games on one charge (and my new one is doing that well now). It started loosing a game per charge every year that I had it, so that by the end of its third year it stopped working even when it was plugged into a USB power block. I haven't used any of the advanced features like scanning or locking. I just tune it to 670 and leave it there. It's worth the money for what I use it for.

When we travel sometimes I can't sleep and I like to listen to the radio with headphones so I don't disturb others who are sleeping. This is great. It has a sleep timer, both AM and FM and it is rechargeable so even if I forget to charge it, I can use it with a portable charger. I love it and would get another if anyone in my family wanted one! I certainly would buy it again if I ever need to! It is compact and easy to use as well.

Went on a 45 minute walk on Day 1. It was great, very clear sound and extremely lite weight. But on Day 2, horrible sound, couldn't get reception. It kept fading In and Out. My walk journey with music was Not Even Close as it was on Day 1. Would not recommend it to others to buy.

Good little radio. Small and locks on station. Presetting is a must and takes some time and effort.

This is a very simple device that does exactly what it advertises to do. I needed this for a Bluetooth speaker that I was going to be using. When I take my family to the drive-in. It works exactly as it's designed. Has the simple audio output Jack that'll plug into most jacks on nearly every Bluetooth speaker. It's cheap. The battery lasts a long time. I'm happy with the purchase.

Me Gusto Su Diseño y su gran Eficiencia de Su Bateria. Su Tamaño Pequeño es Ideal Pará llevarlo en el Bolsillo a todas Partes

I love my mini radio. I use it every day during my walk, after a few weeks I recharge it and work like new.

Great product. Nice looking, streamlined and easy to tune. Another good thing is that it’s rechargeable. No batteries.

FM reception is very good. Having a rechargeable battery is very convenient. Battery life is good. Sound quality is adequate but don’t expect much bass. I purchased an upgraded set of ear buds and heard a slight improvement. Functions are easy to use. My only gripe is that when you perform an auto scan for available channels, it starts in the 70s range so by the time it scans to the mid 90’s frequency band, all 30 channel presets are full. Do you need to tune in to 103.5, for example? Then you will have to scan for it manually, which is a bit of an inconvenience. Overall, this radio is a good value for the money.

Sure wish the radio worked - was excellent for walking but then just stopped for no reason. Sad that things work for such a short time period - it is no wonder landfills are full.
