Review on πŸ“» PRUNUS J-982 Pocket Radio - Best Reception, AM FM Portable Transistor Radio, Battery Operated Small Walkman Radio with Headphones, Enhanced Bass - Ideal for Walking, Jogging, Camping by Jamie Rogers

Revainrating 4 out of 5

simple analogue tiny tuner with great sound for its tiny size.

PROS: I like the sound (uses JVC foldable headphones which are very effective. Tried KOSS TD/60 but volume was too low for this particular model). Good selectivity at low frequencies. choose, even at low-performing college stations. excellent division. good volume range. Super light. surprisingly small, takes up almost no space in your pocket! useful MONO switch for mpx problems, YES! However, the stereo effect works very well most of the time, with minimal noise in urban areas. impressive performance in a tiny package. I think this is another lettered version of a similar design by REKETESS and I like most (not all) of their products. CONS: The tuning wheel easily knocks off the station as it is very thin. a piece of tape loosens it. and the wheel is oddly arranged in relation to the station's dial; When you adjust the dial, the wheel goes down. but if you put the dial down, the wheel goes up. I've had several REKETESS radios that do the same thing. But when you're running you hardly look at the dial anyway, so these are minor issues, it's still great value for money. Battery life not tested yet. I will order some more for friends.
