AM FM Portable Radio Personal Radio with Excellent Reception Battery Operated by 2 AAA Batteries with Stero Earphone, Large LCD Screen, Digtail Alarm Clock

Ok

I bought this for my wife. She is well pleased with it.

I was looking for a small, simple, AM/FM radio with decent reception that I could listen to on walks and while I relaxed on my deck. This seems to fill that role. Set-up was easy with no need to consult the tiny and somewhat insensible instruction booklet that came with it. For me the reception is adequate. I mostly listen to two am radio stations that broadcast news and talk. They come through quite clearly, but they are the most powerful am stations in our region. The user will have trouble receiving weaker AM signals. FM reception is quite excellent with the antenna extended. The AM sound by speaker is a bit 'tinny', but this is a 'micro' sized radio and a cheap one at that. The FM fidelity is surprisingly quite good for the speaker's size and quality. Sound quality is improved if you use the provided earbuds.Bottom line, there are many better small radios on the market at much higher prices. Quite a few of these cheap Chinese-manufactured radios don't work at all out of the box. This one is cheap, but it's not junk. In any event, you get what you pay for.If this lasts through Spring and Summer, I will be quite happy.It works for me.

How could this be improved? Perhaps using a slightly larger speaker, reducing the weight, and having a shirt clip on the back of it. As is the maximum volume is a bit lower than I would like, and the sound is a bit tinny. Considering that I paid under $15 it isn't so bad, however I would have preferred paying $25 or so and getting a more satisfying product.

I bought this thinking it was the same as an old radio I used to use. My old radio would last for days without changing the batteries even when left at higher volumes. I would let it play in the background 24/7 at home, even when I wasn't there. This one literally last hours at best before it starts cutting out and then the batteries die in well less than 24 hours, no matter what volume. Do not buy this cheap POS.

I got this radio for my girlfriend who is hospitalized at the moment. She loves it and it works great.

This is a great little pocket radio with all the features needed for carrying it around in your pocket. Tunes in AM/FM bands with many presets for favorite stations. Has alarm and sleep functions. The best thing about this radio is it has a lock buttons feature which allows you to put in in your pocket or carry it around and you wont accidentally change the station or the volume level. The last one of these I ordered came with bad audio. They were very understanding and helpful of my problem and quickly shipped me a new radio. I am very happy with the radio and the return service.

Good sound and all but it goes through batteries at an alarming rate (at least mine did). So do not recommend
