Review on πŸ“» Crosley CR3036D-NV Tribute Vintage AM/FM Bluetooth Radio in Navy Blue by Maria Smith

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Beautiful retro Bluetooth radio

The only feature I really like about this radio is the orange FM and AM band indicators as they are LED they just look better than they did decades ago. I also like the design which is more reminiscent of the early 70's than the 60's or earlier for this type of retro Bluetooth radio. The combination of the navy blue chassis, orange bandwidth values and neutral gray tones for the speakers and controls looks really good. The contrast of materials is also a great touch, with fabric for the speaker area and sheet metal for the controls. The knobs look decent but very cheap, only flaw in terms of design, I'd happily spend a few bucks more to have the interior and volume controls in more luxurious materials and with a hard cold metal feel, but still. It sure is a very nice radio! The only reason I took a star off is the quality of the speakers, it's ok but I have other units in the same or lower price range that sound better including deeper bass.

Pros
  • Built-in full-range speaker; Designed for portability with built in rechargeable battery
Cons
  • Weak set
