PRUNUSJ-160 Retro Transistor Radio Battery Operated AM FM SW Radios, Small Rechargeable Portable Radio with 1800mAh Li-ion Battery, Support TF Card/Aux/USB MP3 Player(Gold)

Along with the feel of a table radio from the mid-20th century, you also get good AM/FM/shortwave reception plus the bonus of being able to use Bluetooth and SD/USB storage to play audio.FM and shortwave both come in very well, with sensitive and selective reception. The dial comes alive not only with the warm glow of this radio’s dial light but a wide selection of stations. AM reception is not quite as good as FM and shortwave. I think this radio may be calibrated for 9 kHz AM spacing, not 10 kHz as we have in the United States. This isn’t as big a problem as it sounds like it would be; you can still get a good selection of AM stations, but you do notice that some of these are stronger and louder than others. For example, 720 kHz is an active broadcast frequency on both 9 kHz and 10 kHz spacing plans. I notice that this station comes in stronger than, say, 650 kHz, which is only an active frequency with 10 kHz AM spacing. Again, not a huge deal because you still get the other stations, but you just have to turn the radio up a little bit because they’re quieter.The Bluetooth and USB/SD card functionality both work fine. The radio pairs up quickly with my phone and plays audio, and it recognized the USB device I used with no problem.The audio quality has a good balance of bass and treble with a hint of that “warm” sound old radios used to have. There’s also a fair amount of power behind the sound so you can play this radio loudly enough to hear it in a large room or outdoors.Here is the only concern I have with this radio. I do not like that it has a “non-replaceable” battery. This radio is too nice to have it quit working one day when the internal battery stops holding a charge. If the owner is careful not to overcharge the battery and not to leave it completely discharged for a long period of time, the battery would probably last for several years. But still, the rechargeable battery should be in a battery holder behind a regular battery door so the user can replace it if that ever becomes necessary. I did take the back off of the radio and I noticed that it is an 18650 battery inside - a widely available battery - but they have wired it in directly. It could be replaced by someone with some tools and a small amount of experience working on such things, but this should not be necessary to replace a battery.Other than that one thing, there’s nothing here not to like. It’s nice to have a traditionally styled radio that also can play modern forms of media such as audio files from USB and SD storage devices. And the price is certainly more than fair for an audio device that works well and sounds good.

This small red vintage-style radio was everything I hoped it would be and more. It went perfectly in my “Snowed In at the Cottage” book basket and tied in beautifully with the story—where a radio left by Santa would play songs that made the couple in the room fall in love. 💕Not only does it look adorable and nostalgic, but it’s also fully functional with AM/FM and Bluetooth—so it’s not just for show. It gave the basket a warm, magical vibe and sparked so many compliments.If you’re putting together a themed gift or just want something that looks and feels like it belongs in a holiday romance, this is the one.

The Vintage design gives off a Nearly Authentic look and feel to an older radio. As Someone who likes to listen to Audio dramas, Creepypasta’s and Old Time Radio shows. I’ve always believed that the proper way to enjoy that stuff is with a Vintage Setup or at least a near authentic one with Bluetooth. Those who are OTR enthusiasts are sure to enjoy this model especially since it’s Rechargeable and portable. Only downside is that the Antenna While Collapsible isn’t Adjustable and Welded to the base so don’t Expect it to bend other directions like some antennas on transistor radios.

Overall. Good radio. Does job as expected. Details next.A. Good news. I use fm radio most. Next I use the Bluetooth setting, radio as an external remote speaker for cell, for kitchen use. Remember, low wattage, mono speaker, works for me. I can put my phone away from the kitchen table. Best if radio is near USB power source to leave plugged in most of time. Can move it elsewhere to run for about 2 to 4 hours on charged battery. Can buy longer cord if needed and do overnite charge.B. Wish list. About the volume control dial. For the fm radio setting, I usually have volume at about15%. After a while, a month or two, it's a bit touchy to turn it on and set the volume to same setting. However, every 'analog' dial for volume adjustment I have had did the same thing. If a problem for you, the 'fix' is to get a radio with digital tuner and volume control. I still am using the radio for it's features above. Ps, using bluetooth, volume setting for both phone and radio work good at about 80 percent.For me, does the job desired.

Love it! Great sound, love the vintage look, it's nice & compact, and the battery apparently lasts a long time! However; it does take a very long time to charge. Price was great & had it in two days. I love jammin' to my Oldies playlist on it.
