Review on πŸ”Š Rolton E500 Portable Stereo Bluetooth Speakers with FM Radio, Clear Bass, Dual Track Speaker, TF Card Music Player - Black by Matt Schmick

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The radio doesn't work all day unless you have a charger handy.

had this radio about 2 weeks ago, I also have a rolton w405 and degen 23 small radios. out of 3 this radio sounds the best. I've used it on the radio and tried the bluetooth modes and each worked fine, I haven't tried an SD card in it. The radio takes a bit of time to understand the automatic programming and the voice announcing the modes is a bit odd. However, I think once you figure out how to operate it you will enjoy this radio. Now for the bad, the battery. Depending on your usage, you will get different results. I used the radio at around 75% volume and used it for almost 4 hours before it died. I tried again while camping and at a lower volume, something that would be quiet in an office cubicle, and got about 8-10 hours. The case of the radio is solid with no access to the battery and no visible screws. To take it apart to replace the battery, you need a power bank or charger to use it longer. In general the radio is good but there is room for improvement.

It's a small, powerful, decent FM radio / Bluetooth speaker; I like it.

Nice for the price, spend a few dollars more for this stereo version
