Review on πŸ“» Ohala Mini Portable AM/FM Radio MP3 Music Player Speaker - Red | Supports Micro SD/TF Card by Lisa Smith

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Affordable unit, great performance

Great radio, tiny in size! This device does everything that is asked of it. Its radio has an excellent FM tuner, picking up weak stations even in my area, and it's fairly easy to tune in and play MP3s from a user-supplied TF (Micro-SDHC) chip. (I haven't tested the AM band as we don't have such stations within range.) The controls for the broadcast band can be a bit easier to use, although it takes very little practice to master. The sound and volume of the speaker are surprisingly good. As much as I want to keep it to myself, I bought this to deter raccoons from robbing my yard, which I've done pretty well so far. (For this purpose I would recommend putting together a garden binder of MP3s of growling, barking dogs - easy to download online - and human voices; I've found Rush Limbaugh's programs to be most effective for the latter category.) The included 600- 1000mAh battery provides enough power to run an MP3 player for at least 8 hours, but a replacement 1000mAh battery is available on Revain.com at a great price and should increase the available run time significantly.
