Review on PRUNUS J-160 Retro Transistor Radio: Battery Operated AM FM SW Radio with 1800mAh Li-ion Battery - Small, Rechargeable, Portable - Supports TF Card/Aux/USB MP3 Player (Gold) by Ben Cooper

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not as good as claimed. Kind!

I want to love it. But when you turn it on for the first time, it's too loud! In radio mode, it goes from normal to very loud. I bought this for my small office that I share with a mate and I wanted to use it for a decent volume radio. (Think of an office space, haha) but I can't even shut it down so it doesn't turn off. Also, I can't tune the antennas like they say I can. Just up or down. One more thing, and this is the strangest thing, all the stations are very good except the station in my hometown! What? I do not understand. I like the retro style, although it's smaller than I expected. (Perfect size for a tiny table!) I wanted to love it. I'm really unhappy, especially with the high ratings and the promise of an exceptional welcome. Edit: I will say that this works great in bluetooth mode as you can set the sources volume to a lower volume so they are not as loud. . The radio option is the only one that is loud to very loud all the time. Just wanted to point this out in case anyone is interested in the volume of the radio. Then it is cute and perfect for others. Many Thanks.
