JENSEN SR 50 Portable Digital Radio Review

Love that it's portable, small and easy to use and I always use batteries which run out pretty quickly but that's amazing sound quality for such a thing small radio and i can use it anywhere

This drains the batteries incredibly fast. Had to replace them after 3 or 4 days for the first two weeks I used them. I no longer use this radio but it was very easy to get a refund on the purchase price.

Programming is not intuitive and a bit difficult, programming the time is particularly difficult. However, the unit is compact and has good sensitive reception indoors where more expensive radios with wire antennas get a lot of noise and interference. The signal is clear and the sound is very good. Need a headphone jack! It would be nice if they included a charger/AC adapter with the device. I think I'll keep it for €18.

I would not buy this radio again and I cannot recommend it either. I put in three sets of batteries and within two weeks the radio stopped working due to dead batteries. At first I thought I was the problem; somehow turned it off. Well, I read the instructions more than once and came to the conclusion that it wasn't about me, it was about the radio. I can't tell if it's this specific radio or the design in general. I would have put "without stars" but the program didn't allow it.

Waste of money. Only 4 months after purchase and use is very low, this radio no longer works. It keeps turning off and not turning back on. I have swapped the batteries for new ones many times and the same thing. I've tapped or slapped it to make it spin and it seems to help, but only for a few minutes. I only bought it to use at work and it's actually quite embarrassing that it keeps turning on and off! An absolute disappointment considering I really like the design of this model. Do not buy!

I like it, it has a sleep timer, it uses 4 AA batteries and has pretty decent sound quality because it's a digital PLL setting and it's relatively sensitive I suppose This particular model has not been infected by the DSP chip craze, at least all indicators seem to indicate that the tuning does not deviate from frequency, as a conventional DSP analogue radio often suffers from not being able to previously to fine-tune the frequency setting it comes from the assembly area of this factory…
