Review on πŸ“» Ocean Digital Portable Internet Wi-Fi/FM Radio with Bluetooth Speaker: The Ultimate Compact Rechargeable Radio for Kitchen & Garden - WR26 by Dustin Ferguson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This internet radio has already changed my life.

This is an amazing, wonderful new kind of radio, "Internet radio", something most people don't know about. This is an advanced generation device that is surprisingly easy to use. Judging by the quality, I am very confident in its reliability. For me, this radio is ideal for listening to a variety of stations from all over the world at night. It is designed for home or office use as it uses your Wi-Fi connection and not radio waves. (Although it also picks up local FM stations). I live in a small town with terrible radio reception. Just a couple of terrible local radio stations and only a couple of FM music stations. This small, beautiful, portable internet radio has changed my life. It automatically connects to thousands of top US and world stations through Skytune, Ocean Digital's website. You can set up to 100 "favorites" or presets and even enter your own URLs for many channels not found in Skytune. You can change the order of favorites or delete them. It's NOT a PC or smartphone, it's a radio. Hence it has a very small black and white screen. When using it for the first time, you need to enter the WiFi password, which is a bit slow without a keyboard. But once you've done that, it's easy to navigate the menus, select channels, etc. Once you've got your favorites set up, it's a breeze. But if you're uncomfortable navigating a very small screen or your hands don't work well, a smartphone might be the best solution for you. I personally like this radio because it's similar to the radios I've used all my life. I find it surprisingly user-friendly given its fairly simple interface. You can navigate to find other stations while listening to the station you are on. So far the only minor inconvenience is that to change the volume of the current station I have to go back there. But I've gotten used to it. Very reasonable price for a great gadget!
