Vintage Greadio Walnut Wood Bluetooth Speaker Radio - Retro Style, Bass Enhancement, Loud Volume, Bluetooth 5.0, MP3 & FM Radio

You know how there are "retro" games of wooden boards/puzzles/appliances, but are in reality lacking quality once bought? This is the complete opposite! I have only used it for one hour so no clue about how long it lasts after max charge. I bought this little speaker since my laptop has poor quality speakers. My old Bose speaker died some months ago and I did not want to buy something mediocre even after trying some demo from the local electronics stores. Lately it seems I have been bombarded with Youtubers and influencers promoting 'ok" and questionable brands speakers. I feared a bit that this cute retro one would fall into the same story of "people love it because it's ok and it's cute". Upon opening the Amazon box I was surprised to find the actual package box was decent! The speaker was nested in the foam insert. A charger cable was attached as was a typical "nice-touch" storage pouch (although that defeats the purpose of using a speaker?). Although it powered on after arrival, I plugged it into charge (micro usb from my own cable). After being bored of a Youtube binge and dinner I decided to test it out. Volume Pro, Warning: I do want to say NOTE: the volume controller needs a delicate touch. From the tuner all the way down I only need to move it maybe 0.25 of an inch to play in my room at night as not to disturb others. If it was daytime and I was doing errands, washing dishes, it can be cranked up. While I would not use this for a "party" unless quite small--it can get close to as loud as the max of a "regular TV" in my opinion. That's quite amazing when you see it in person and know it's a mix of metal or wood with plastic backing! Radio FM: It's exactly as I imagined in terms of use. The little dial turns to the FM function and the face lights up orange (and remains so). Then you turn the face tuner to change radio channels. The--signal reader--is on the top of the flat surface of the "radio box" so do not put your hand or block it or it will distort the radio sound to be "fuzzy". 5/5 in terms of wow and use and clarity. What I am not sure about is that the channels it picked up is way different than my car overall, so not sure why that is and before someone says was it AM?--based off most music stations I do not believe it was AM radio. Bluetooth: Yes! The entire reason I bought this is to listen to my tunes clearly while doing cleaning. Left the volume dial as is and paired with my phone's Bluetooth in 3 minutes. Then I just played a song. Right now the radio is on a desk away from me, and I can just tap the side volume control from my Note 8 and lower/increase the volume from my bed! I know it sounds a bit --gee really? how's that exciting?-- Well it is for me after having the finicky Bose that died which by the way was superior in sound quality, but I'm not going to shell out money like that again. It did last a few years, but I'm no audiophile. This cute lil speaker is my new best friend while doing chores. Also while in Bluetooth the "face" will light up Blue there is no way of turning it off to my knowledge. Not a bad thing in my opinion. Audio Quality: It's definitely good. It's not mediocre or "ok". It's actually decent/good/satisfying. Again, it's better than my laptop's speakers. It doesn't compare to my old Bose speaker or headphones, but it's not disappointing. In fact it's "that" good I will consider purchasing it as gifts! Other positive bits to know: There are two little feet that you can peel the plastic off to provide some "grip". I like to slide the radio (though that's a bit risky) on my desk so I left the plastic on. Mine came with a little wrist strap cord? It should be removable. I like that it's kind of like a tail so I left it on for now. Maybe the wrist strap is for use outdoors to loop the radio "safe" over a pole? I don't advise it, but---it's possible maybe? I'm not sure why someone would hold the speaker in their hands and use the strap wrist that way. Build/Color: It looks exactly like the picture. I purchased the "Cherry" color wood. I think it is really wood? It's really smooth and you cannot tell if it is molded wood pulp. The back Aux is easy to access and so is the charge port. I hope this device lasts longer than my Bose...anyway for the price it would be a fantastic Christmas gift or birthday gift. Possible Cons: 1. I don't know the battery life after max charge is true to the "9 hours" claim 2. People need to know to charge their radio with a micro USB. I think that task doesn't register based off some negative reviews I read. There is no quick battery replacement only micro USB charge. 3. The front is identical to the pictures, but know that at least for the "cherry wood" I bought, the back is clean and smooth, but black plastic casing is exposed. The wood does NOT wrap around the entire body! If you buy this please know that in case you expected it to fully cover or if you don't want guests to see that for whatever reason. 4. The charge port light indicator is a bit dumb as it is located below the insertion point. Meaning you cannot see the indicator light status unless you lift up and look or somehow coming from a lower angle. Minor annoyance. I can live with it.

Bought this for the aesthetic, but the audio quality is also fantastic. I have been using this every day for ambient music in my office, and the ease in which it connects to all my devices has far exceeded my expectations. It's not very big, so if you're looking for a showpiece, I wouldn't say this is it. But, it puts out great sound, is easy to use, and has the retro look my desk sorely needed.

Indeed; it is a small size Radio however; very powerful; in terms of sound level; clarity and reception of signal. Lovely design and color; walnut wood; which adds a beautiful classic look at home. Cute; very good to take along especially for the aged people; nice walking partner. Featured with FM, bluetooth; and SD card insertion slot. Operated with rechargeable battery: which can last for not less then eight hours; did not use it continuously but used it on and off on daily basis for almost a week without charging. It can be charged with any mobile charger; tried that and charged fully with in three hours. Highly recommended; reliable; beautiful and small size. What else you need; especially if you are used to listen to any of the FM channels. Thanks for manufacturing and selling this Radio in Amazon. I am updating this review after buying another Radio of the same. In addition to the above comments, it is worth to say that this type of radio is fantastic, the old one that I bought is still maintaining the same features, no change, and the new one is also doing the same. Hence, this is recommended radio if you look for FM broadcasting, and can travel with you anywhere same like your mobile. Hence, recommended quality.

I don’t typically write a lot of reviews, but this radio is amazing! It’s small enough to hold in your hand, well-made, and WOW it sounds great! I purchased it for my office, the radio comes in crystal clear. I’m excited it also has Bluetooth, I was highly surprised and very happy with us.

Great little Bluetooth speaker for desk

I have had one of these little radios in Cherry for some time (given to me as a gift). I ordered one a few days ago from Amazon, not realizing that the Walnut would be so very dark. I will be returning it, because I don't care for the very dark color. In real life, the walnut wood is darker than what is pictured here. I wrote to Greadio, hoping to be referred to a site where I could get the cherry color, as Amazon is all sold out. The rep, Lois, was very kind to search all over for me, but that color is sold out everywhere. I am hoping to get it in cherry from another company. it is a very good radio, and so cute. I want to get one for each of my sisters.

Awesome little beast who would think something so small rock so hard they’re awesome and they’re adorable

I had the same experience. after having it for three years, it stopped taking a charge and always had to be plugged in. Then, even when plugged in, it would stop and start sound. radio on and then off in halting bursts. Can't use it at all now. Very disappointing that there is something inherent that makes it lose its charge, and only in random radios so if I buy one again will it lose its charge in two months or will I get three more years. I see that some people experienced the same issue early, i got about three years out of mine. I loved this little radio. It was perfect in the kitchen, super cute, everyone remarked on how cute it is, the retro look. the sound is great. but i admit as one who takes good care of their things, to have it just stop working is a real disappointment. I gave it three stars because at least I got three years and not months like some people who had the same problem. I would have given it five if it hadn't stopped working for no reason.

De buen tamaño, producto estético y de calidad. La batería no dura demasiado pero cumple su función.

Everything is perfect but you need to take care regarding the radio size, It's not like the photos

I love it. Excellent product and highly recommend.

This little vintage radio is like a pocket-sized time machine! Its charming retro design and warm, crackly sound make every song feel like a cozy hug from the past. Despite its compact size, it delivers a surprisingly rich and nostalgic listening experience. It’s definitely on the pricey side, but if you’re a fan of retro charm, it’s a splurge worth considering!

This speaker looks and sounds better than expected! The details and faux wood finish are definitely higher quality than I thought they would be. the wood is seamless and may fool some people into thinking it's real. The metal dials have this brassy vintage finish which is nice While the sound quality isn't necessarily sony headphones level, it's still pretty good. You can get bass, mid and high tones from this speaker and the sound is clear. Part of the reason I chose this speaker is because it has both AUX and Bluetooth connection. I can confirm that both work well and are extremely easy to switch between. Setup was also fast and seamless. Also, I am in a basement and I can still get radio reception, which is great. I like that the bluetooth connection is on the dial with AUX, FM and the ON switch. It really helps sell that radio vibe. Haven't tested out the battery life yet, but I can say I didn't notice any blinking blue light accompanying the bluetooth connection, which I'm very happy about. Hopefully in my picture you can tell how big the speaker is. It's small and compact, which is what I was hoping for. I also like the cherry color -- it's not too light. Haven't been using this speaker for very long, so I haven't noticed many issues. I did notice a static sound in the background the first time I set up the speaker on AUX (like the static in the background of a radio). But when I switched to radio and then back to aux, it went away.
