Description of ๐Ÿ“ป BTECH MPR-AF1 AM FM Personal Radio: Great Reception, Long Battery Life & Dual Stereo Headphones in Blue

The MPR-AF1 is a pocket portable radio with headphones. It includes a long-life rechargeable battery, that does not require you to inconveniently replace batteries while out on the go. The MPR-AF1 is your personal radio it is a great for receiving your local sports radio, NPR, and your favorite music. To power on the radio a long press is required (a short press will enable sleep mode). The MPR-AF1 has an internal ferrite bar antenna that in-itself has extreme sensitivity, but our engineers went a step beyond the internal ferrite antenna, intelligently designing the headphone jack to also act as an external antenna jack as well. This allows your headphones to be used as a long external antenna (while still providing crisp stereo audio). A true feat of engineering. More than just a mini am fm radio walkman, the MPR-AF1 includes a built-in clock, and includes features such as storing your favorite channel presets or allowing you to lock the keypad (to ensure your channel is locked in, while you are out moving on the go). The MPR-AF1 includes two different styles of headphones, allowing you to pick the most comfortable way to use your pocket radio. The convenient LCD display shows the exact am or fm stereo station that you are listening to. This allows you to easily see and tune to your favorite radio station. BTECH is proud to be in the USA, which allows you to have the best available local support for any issue that may arise. We only engineer and develop radio products. That focus allows you to have the best available radio, with the most features, at the best price.

Mini radio with good features, good sound and baseball!

Although it took me a while to master the power on lock and the preset station method, I was close to this little radio and its easy mini USB charging. As an alternative to a reliable little Sangean battery operated radio of roughly the same size, this is a great companion, especially if you have a choice of stations in an urban area. The sound is good (antenna in wired headphones) although I feel that even with strong reception it doesn't always carry enough stereo FM signal like the Sangeanโ€ฆ

Pros
  • An Absolute Legend
Cons
  • High Price

Reliable pocket radio

Small reliable pocket radio with a few quirks. The battery has a short lifespan and needs frequent charging. Sometimes the controls don't respond as expected. I have to turn the device off for two minutes and then turn it back on before I regain control. I bought it to wear around my neck and under my shirt at local pro baseball games so I can listen while I work. The instructions leave a lot to be desired but once decoded the radio is reliable and will work for a full 4 hour/9 time AAA matchโ€ฆ

This is a quality product with good customer service

Received this radio 2 days ago and found the battery gauge showed 2 out of 3 bars so I charged it overnight. In the morning I still had 2 bars. I emailed the company and asked if the radio was defective. Less than 1 hour later I received a reply asking for an address they could send a replacement to. That's customer service. Another hour later I received an email that a replacement had been sent to me. Apart from the mentioned problem, the radio is excellent. The reception is better thanโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Uncertain
