Review on πŸ“» Compact and Portable: GPX R300S Am/FM Armband Radio with Earbuds in Black by Steve Quinn

Revainrating 3 out of 5

UPDATE: value not sure. Bought two, one worked fine if you can overcome a few big "buts "

UPDATE to my review below which related to the first one we bought. #1 was damaged so we bought another one which was pretty much junk. Stations that came in clearly first were fuzzy at #2. I returned it for a refund. First review: The supplied headphones are rubbish. The noise sounds like it's coming out of the block through a hollow tube. With every other pair of headphones I've had, from in-ears to headphones, the sound has been anywhere from acceptable to excellent. Acceptance is acceptable. The main disadvantage of the radio itself is the preset memory. If you need a specific station, you can only scroll through the 20 presets in ascending order. So if you miss your station, you have to press the button 19 times to go back there. I ended up presetting 3 stations that we listen to over and over again until I've used all 20 presets. Now all you have to do is triple tap to go back to any station.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Out of style
