RetekessV115 Portable Radio, Pocket Radio, AM FM SW, Recorder, MP3 Support TF Card, Headphone Jack, Sleep Timer, LCD Backlight (Black)

I've only been using this for a couple of days, so can't speak for it's longevity, but except for that I must say I am rather impressed!Lovely size factor, good radio reception, FM is good as expected and on AM BBC 5 Live is great on 909KHz.The sound is surprisingly good, it even has a passive radiator!That said, it could be louder, but it does have a line out (as well as line in!) so it could be hooked up to a bigger speaker.Have not used the microphone yet, but I appreciate it adds to the functional aspect of the device.The li-ion battery lasts a very long time, I have been using it a lot these couple of days and it's only half used. Also these batteries are of the old Nokia type (BL-5C), basically you can find replacements very easily and cheaply if you ever need to.I did not expect much of the mp3 player, but very pleasantly surprised with the controls and there's even a visual equalizer, albeit monochrome of course.What a great little gadget, well worth the ~£20!

Some things just hit the right spot, and have a timeless charm and uniqueness that you don't find very oftenI Love this radio for what it is - there's no way mainstream manufacturers would make something as quirky as this rather than the usual Bluetooth and smart speakers these days, and it fits a niche very nicely for the right customer. Great for many reasons and applications: camping, holidays working trips, bedside, escaping technology and your phone, private listening, this is Tiny product with a big personality!I love escaping the modern world with this, simply just turn on and tune in.Screen size is very generous, aerial more than good enough. I'm yet to try and card functioning or recording and will probably not so best to look at other reviews for this..butAs for the sound - as an audio and home studio enthusiast I'm really impressed and smile whenever it's taken on holiday or on a trip because it sounds really decent! The bass diaphragm on the rear certainly does not give the radio anything that resembles deepness, bass extension or anything like high quality audio, but if really does and excellent job of filling out the sound and blends well with the front facing speaker to make a very pleasing sound, especially with voice but music is certainly listenable.I find with decent headphones it sounds remarkable on FM.The plastic tag on the Strad allows the unit to be laid at an angle and you can extend the aerial up.Your main audio device or radio this may not be, but as a little travelling companion or bedside radio this will make you smile every time you turn it on - it's like it's pulling a strange kind of trick sounding this great for the size, looking like it's got one foot here and one in the 80's, and all in a smartphone sized package. I'll be buying a spare battery and using more and more

This is a very versatile gadget. Yes, it does AM, FM & SW, with digital frequency readout, station scanning and pre-sets. But it will also play mp3 files from a cf card (not supplied) & you can record to it as well, either from the radio, the built-in microphone or an external source via the line-in socket. It has a stereo headphone socket, which could also be used as a line-out. My only two negative comments are that while the speaker is reasonably powerful for its size, it is only mono & the AM(MW) tuner is not as sensitive as I would have liked. Even so, this is a great little product & brilliant value for money. Oh, it has a rechargeable battery, too, which means once installed, you can charge it via the supplied lead by connecting the radio to a standard USB socket. It takes a few hours from empty.

I'm SUPER impressed with this little device!Automatic tuning on all bands, FM, AM & SW works brilliantly.The sound quality is ridiculously good for such a small device with a tiny speaker - great overall frequency response and it has more bass in it than it has any right to have!Battery life is good, and if you have a portable charger, you can still listen to it while it's charging out and about.Extra recording features are cool, I haven't found a use for them yet but nice to have still!

This is really a great little radio, so portable and the simple recharge with a standard mobile phone lead so no need to buy batteries. Just love the auto digital tuning to finds loads of stations and easy to save them foe recall. Excellent reception and clarity.Also a great price, I highly recommend this super little radio.

The radio looks nice, and doesn't even sound too bad, but my version just will not charge - I suspect a faulty battery, which was a tight squeeze to get into the battery compartment (and NOT an AAA battery, as the listing states). The same with the USB charger.The battery showed as charging but the radio wouldn't operate without the power cable plugged in. There's no way of them sending out a replacement cable or battery, so the whole unit needs to go back. Shame.

For the price this is a good small radio and is easy to use. Feel robust and looks good.
