Philips Portable Radio TAR1506/00

Excellent radio using the two small batteries AAA. In fact I have bought and used different Phillips radios and they were all very good. However, this one is the best because the knurled volume wheel has been very well designed and made. At the moment, I have more than a dozen pocket radios that are working. But over the years, I had more of these radios than hairs on my head. Most of my previous radios were discarded because of damage to the volume wheel through wear and dropping on the floor. I only use 2 AM stations BBC Radio 5 and Talksport and they are always loud and clear. FM reception is also good but moving around you may need to use the aerial. The radio plus batteries is very light and small. One criticism is the location of the earphone jack point at the top rather than on the side of the radio in order to fit the pocket easier without much bending of the wire. I previously bought this radio from elsewhere at a much lower price (but yet to use). However, I wanted to make sure that I have another spare one as it became discontinued. I surely recommend it.

The radio is compact and easy to use, I haven't had a problem with reception. It only has a mono speaker so the sound quality is ok for general listening. I've only used rechargeable batteries which last about a week with 8 hours per day usage. The aerial does not have a swivel joint unlike most radios so it will only extend vertically from the top of the radio. Overall it does the job for what I want which is to provide background music during work.

You know I actually really like this radio. A throwback to a simpler time, easy and basic to use. I've mainly got it for the bedroom at night, but it's very handy to just carry round at times. The sound quality is pretty middle of the road, but it has a certain nostalgic charm to it. Mono with something of a vintage sound too it. It's adequately loud enough too. I love the fact it doesn't have a screen and it's just analog. We live surrounded by screens, it's nice to break away from it. A decent, cheap pocket radio with a little charm. Sound is the weakest aspect, but it's sufficient. Everything else shines over that. Can't go wrong for the price.

I ordered this as a cheap radio and as such didn’t expect much, but the main thing I did expect is it produces sounds, when headphones are plugged in it’s works but the speaker on the first one and subsequent replacement didn’t work at all.

I love it .Its so small so I can take it with me to my work And listening radio.So cute .You need 2aaa bateries.I do not know yet How long 2aaa bateries will last but Zi have bought Duracell 4 AAA rechargable bateries so I can always recharge And have 2 spare with me if one die.I will Buy again.

This little radio is very nice, feels well made, and the sound is very good when wearing good quality headphones.

A brilliant classic old school type radio. Forget DAB and automatic this that and the other, this is what a radio should be and exactly what my Mum wanted. She loves it!

Shameful piece of tat masquerading as a portable radio, And with a company name that was highly respected in the electronics world. The sound is woeful And the feel of a thing is cheap cheap cheap, I couldn't be bothered returning it, It's in the bin.

Me gusta su construcción, pero la recepción no es de lo mejor, considero que pudieran mejorarlo, esto basado en que las estaciones más retiradas no las recibe y otros receptores que tengo, si lo hacen.

Site fiable ! Merci beaucoup la radio est au top .... Super bien emballé... Service impeccable

Dei de presente para minha mãe que gosta de ouvir os jogos do time de coração pelo e não pela tv. Virou o xodozinho dela.

Pili tak, istasyonu ayarla ve dinle. Basit. Bu kadar teknoloji arasında analog radyo (bazen cızırtısı bile) iyi hissettiriyor. Süper teknolojilerden bıktığınızda açınız bir radyo. Soğuk içiniz.

La qualité du son est bonne. La réception est très bien. Assez petite pour une radio de poche, assez grosse pour un son puissant pour sa petite taille. Très rétro. La molette est très sensible, ce qui n'apporte pas de points négatifs au produit. Le prix de l'article est normal. Le délai de livraison était très rapide ce qui m'a impressionné. Une bonne radio d'une bonne qualité !
