Review on πŸ“» Retekess V112 AM FM Portable Pocket Radio Digital Tuning Stereo Volume with Earphone Rechargeable Battery for Walking Gym - Red by Dustin Keller

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Decent little radio! Also easy to use.

Item arrived on time, well packaged and undamaged in shipping. I have to admit that while I bought this little radio to listen to, it wasn't for music or talk radio lol! It was intended to be converted into what we in our field call a "ghost sweeper" device for listening to EVPs during paranormal investigations. It just didn't work for that; But! But good news! So now I have a nice little radio that I can listen to while mowing or working outside. It's plastic and good for runs and the like. (Uh, I won't do any of that! 😏) I feel like I shouldn't be rough on it, although the durability is okay. This isn't rocket science working with controls. They're pretty basic. If you just want to turn it on and listen without the included headphones, you could be in trouble. The headphones act as an antenna for this device. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈBut I connected a small external speaker via the 3.5mm jack and received most local radio stations. You'll have to experiment with that where you live. I even went as far as connecting a Bluetooth transmitter (again using the 3.5mm jack) and it transmitted well to a small BT speaker twelve feet away. I lost a little reception but not too much. Finally, the lifespan of a fully charged battery was a little shorter than I would have liked. The charging time from zero to full was about 2.25 hours. Many Thanks, for allowing me to rate this product. J. "Doc" Likens
