About AM FM Portable Radio Personal Radio with Excellent Reception
Overall Feedback:
80% positive
64% liked the frequency range, but 36% didn't
I use the lower end of the spectrum and sometimes need to reposition the radio for clear reception.
I have noticed that the radio suffers from AM radio frequency interference, but it performs better than some of my other analog pocket radios, including the Sony ICF-S10MK2.
64% were satisfied with display and controls, whereas 36% weren't
The controls were a bit difficult to understand and I wished the tuner could move faster. But after setting all my favorite stations to presets, it's not a problem anymore.
I find the controls very tiny and hard to use. The power switch is also difficult to turn off the radio. The instructions with the radio are too small to read easily.
67% found connectivity options easy, but 33% faced issues
The radio has decent sound quality with a built-in speaker, but provides true stereo sound when earbuds or headphones are plugged in. Earbuds are included with the radio.
The controls were a bit difficult to understand and I wished the tuner could move faster. But after setting my favorite stations to presets, it was no longer a problem.
If other electronic devices are running nearby, especially if they are using WiFi or bluetooth, the radio will pick up a lot of interference.
78% appreciated the audio quality
The sound quality is decent with the built-in speaker, but it becomes true stereo sound when earbuds or headphones are plugged in.
66% appreciated the antenna length and design, while 34% struggled
The top piece of plastic with memory buttons and antenna is holding everything together.
I had to wave the unit around with the extended antenna to get a signal, but it was not constant.
