Review on Ultra-Portable AM FM Radio: Digital Tuning, Transistor Technology, Sleep Timer, Alarm Clock, and Earphone - Black by Rob Dixon

Revainrating 3 out of 5

What you need to know before you buy.

1) Headphones and speakers sound good and normal. Good sensitivity 2) Material looks and feels cheap 1 second, time is wasted. This means that you have to reset the time EVERY time you change the battery. It's really terrible. Most modern radios can keep the time for at least a minute after the batteries are disconnected. So if you can change the batteries in a minute, you don't have to reset the time. 5) All saved stations remain saved (not lost) even if you disconnect the batteries for a long time (days or even years). 6) The worst thing about this radio: The radio will then automatically find all the stations and save them to preset locations, there is simply no way to remove them. In my example, after I pressed the preset button, the radio found a total of 48 stations and these 48 stations are automatically stored in preset locations (P01, P02, .P48). However, out of the 48 stations, 12 are too weak or no signal at all, but there's no way I can remove those 12 "bad" stations, so every time I switch between stations, I have to cycle through those bad stations over and over again. This is a very silly design. Hopefully in the future they will add a "Delete" feature so users can delete channels they don't like.

Pros
  • Collection of favorite radio stations: You can set shortcuts for your favorite stations (3 FM and 3 AM). When you want to listen to your favorite stations, press the collect button while you're on and you'll quickly jump to the station. Save time to listen to your favorite radio.
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
