Retekess V112 AM FM Portable Pocket Radio, FM Receiver, Digital Tuning Stereo, with Headphones, Rechargeable Battery, for Walking, Jogging, Training, Church (Red)

While this radio is far from perfect for the money spent it is pretty nice. Super compact and easy to use . Comes with earbuds , a nice lanyard and charging cord. Sound quality is not bad and push button controls work well for tuning and selecting stored stations and volume. The antenna is in the earbud wires so reception can be a little touchy on weaker stations but overall it is good. Earbuds are usable but I might upgrade to a better pair for more comfort. Overall a great buy and I would recommend and buy again.

I am an early morning fast walker with NPR as my morning companion. My old pocket radio wore out and Retekess has proven to be an excellent replacement. Function buttons are obvious and easy to use. Reception was been great and I like the lanyard for carrying versus having to store in a pocket as was the case with my previous version. Happy listener.

price was good and it works as advertised

Came exactly as expected. I bought this for my mom, who isn't technologically savvy and likes listening to an AM radio. Its a basic radio that exactly gets the job done for my mom, who wants a portable radio to walk around the house with as she does housework. I just tried it out and the sound was clear and easy to navigate to the stations. No reception problems yet. This was a win for my mom to not need to change batteries like the old radios she owns.I'm also happy that it came with earphones and a strap to make it more portable to wear around your neck, which my mom doesn't mind and the radio is pretty light. You could also easily put in your pocket instead. For some people, I could see it being useful to include a clip, which this didn't have, but not a dealbreaker for my mom.Not really a downside yet, but the battery has taken a few hours to charge since receiving it in the mail and still isn't fully charged as I write this, which seemed like it was close to a dead battery by the time it was mailed to me, but easy to see the battery life for something like this.

Gave four stars because three and one-half not an option. Have only used for about a week at time of this review and mainly on AM band.First, size is about same as quarter inch thick credit card. And it is light, about like a single AA battery. I was expecting a bit more heft, especially with a built in battery.Was a bit disappointed with AM reception. Is decent, but does not compare to a good table-top AM radio. For city dwellers likely not an issue, for rural folks the radio orientation matters.Otherwise, the button switches have nice click and feel. The audio jack which has caused me problems with many other devices is working very good so far but time will tell on that. I sat down and read the little manual to understand the memory functions, but is really fairly simple in operation.I use a lightweight Koss headset for listening and therefore cannot comment on the included earbuds. Can say however that sound quality on both bands is about what you would expect from a little radio. Not dynamic but decent.Screen is very readable for tuning and memory slot. Battery power bar though is tiny. Too small IMO. Have only charged battery once, so don't have a good handle on it's life other than it is exceeding my expectations.Lock switch works well. It prevents accidental changes in station and volume from button bumping while working. The ninety minute auto-off can be a pain but is minor point for me.If radio still working well a year from now would have no problem recommending without reservation.Update--6 months since purchased. Have dropped rating one star to okay. Biggest negative is battery life and the lack of a battery bar to monitor it. Imagine your cellphone quitting without warning because battery ran out. Unless you just took off charger and know the little battery is full, there is no way to know when it needs charging till it shuts off then only lasts a few seconds on restarting. No other complaints. Bottom line, radio okay but on a do-over would spend more and buy a full featured small radio.

Excellent signal reception at the nose bleed section of the ballpark. The sound is clear and only requires 50% volume. An attractive looking face. It comes with a 15 inch lanyard and comfortable ear phones. I am very happy with this portable radio purchase.

Updated review: The product no longer works after just 4 months. There must be manipulation of the star rating algorithm happening on Amazon. This thing was JUNK! This is one of those Amazon purchases that on hindsight I didn't really need and if I saw this in person /at a store would not have purchased based on the look/feel of the product.. Yes I need a small handheld portable radio and this does work. It's just not amazing. It''s very light, plastic. There is a PRONOUNCED hiss when the radio is playing, even on the stations that comes in cleanly on other devices. My Apple iPod with radio has a MUCH better reception for the stations, no hiss whatsoever. A bit tricky setting the stations but once I figured it out (included directions are not very instructive) it's fine. I truly miss the days of the classic Sony Walkman. Now that was something to write sonnets about! The Retekess pocket radio...it's fine. After a week of use I have downgraded this to 2 stars. UPDATE: One of the earbuds has stopped working after 1 month. I really don't understand all the 5 star reviews. I think there are some manipulation/ bots on these 5 star reviews. 1 star after 1 month of use. FINAL UPDATE 12/12/2024: 4 months after purchase it no longer works!!
