Suitable for personal radios

Arrived after guaranteed delivery date. However, it works fine and I can't get a full refund for sending it back, so I'm keeping it to myself.

Pros
  • 3.5mm headphone jack for private listening
Cons
  • Not working

Lightweight and durable

I've been carrying this radio with me for a few weeks now and it's a lot of fun. My kids just started riding bikes while studying during this quarantine.

Pros
  • Small size with belt clip for sport
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Pros
  • High definition audio quality from a specially designed speaker
Cons
  • Quality
