📻 PRUNUS J-199 Retro AM FM Shortwave Radios with Bluetooth Speaker: Best Reception, Battery Operated Portable Transistor Radio with 3-Way Power Sources, AUX TF Card USB Disk MP3 Player Review

This little radio is exactly what I wanted. It's simple, it has good sound, great reception even from more distant stations and I just love it! Of course, the fact that it lasts for hours on a single charge or can be plugged in while charging and the fact that it's a small and cute little device also helps!

With this radio you get am/fm shortwave, Bluetooth, USB stick and micro stick. Morning reception is excellent, I'm in New Orleans, I can pick up stations in Oklahoma and a few others. Really great sound on a USB stick. The dial on the radio is very sensitive, picking up weak stations. Great sound for news, sports and talk shows. At $20 on the best day it was a steal. I also like the retro design.

Feel like the kid I used to be under the covers on a bunk bed with my grandmother's old tube radio at the head of the bookshelf. And now I can listen to shortwave and AUX/USB! Excellent quality. As another reviewer pointed out, the volume control is tight at first, but gets better over time. Really well thought out, well thought out product. Maybe one day I'll try to plug in my own headphone jack, but for now it's great! Thank you PRU!

We're really enjoying this fun little radio! The size is great for my office, the radio reception works better than I ever expected for an indoor room, the music sounds great. I found it very easy to switch from radio to playlist and sometimes it's a vacation for me! My only complaint (and it's such a minor gripe!) is that the audio goes from soft to loud fairly quickly, but I'm sure I'll get used to the button. Good product! Would buy it again without reservation.

Bought this for my visually impaired grandma thinking she would be easy to use. Unfortunately, the buttons are small and the window of the tuner is difficult to see. In my opinion, this product is for the elderly who have enjoyed radio all their lives. You don't necessarily need MP3 capabilities, special weather, and a small device with buttons that are too close together. The sound quality is good, but the device may be too small for the target group that wants a retro radio.

This J-199 is a great desk radio with retro design and backlit dial, the speaker is loud and clear, easy to use. Fantastic AM/FM station reception and extremely easy Bluetooth connection. I'm listening to Sirius on the phone app over bluetooth. It even comes with two rechargeable lithium batteries that charge automatically when plugged in, making it great for use in the event of a power outage when you don't have power, cable or internet. I like listening to shortwave at night (best shortwave…

I like this little radio. Bought for work. It's cute and retro, but one of the best things about it is that it doesn't take up much space. It has all the features mentioned above. You can play your iPod via an optional cable or Bluetooth. It has space for an SD card and an adapter. The radio reception is good, the quality is good. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is the very sensitive volume control. It can be a little or a lot, turning it up or down, you just don't know which one…

As a radio maniac, there are a few key aspects that I like. Of course, I expect the radio to pick up my favorite stations during the day. This requires selectivity as many FM stations get crowded in the mids and little NPR goes up against a modern salsa giant screaming at 120 decibels! Then there is sensitivity. Let's say I want to listen to a nice AM station in the evening after the locals have turned off the electricity: then sensitivity is key. The J-199 has both, no question. But my mother…
