Review: Mid-20th Century table radio replica - Along with the feel of a table radio from the mid-20th century, you also get good AM/FM/shortwave reception plus the bonus of being able to use Bluetooth and SD/USB storage to play audio. FM and shortwave both come in very well, with sensitive and selective reception. The dial comes alive not only with the warm glow of this radio’s dial light but a wide selection of stations. AM reception is not quite as good as FM and shortwave. I think this radio may be calibrated for 9 kHz AM spacing, not 10 kHz as we have in the United States. This isn’t as big a problem as it sounds like it would be; you can still get a good selection of AM stations, but you do notice that some of these are stronger and louder than others. For example, 720 kHz is an active broadcast frequency on both 9 kHz and 10 kHz spacing plans. I notice that this station comes in stronger than, say, 650 kHz, which is only an active frequency with 10 kHz AM spacing. Again, not a huge deal because you still get the other stations, but you just have to turn the radio up a little bit because they’re quieter. The Bluetooth and USB/SD card functionality both work fine. The radio pairs up quickly with my phone and plays audio, and it recognized the USB device I used with no problem. The audio quality has a good balance of bass and treble with a hint of that “warm” sound old radios used to have. There’s also a fair amount of power behind the sound so you can play this radio loudly enough to hear it in a large room or outdoors. Here is the only concern I have with this radio. I do not like that it has a “non-replaceable” battery. This radio is too nice to have it quit working one day when the internal battery stops holding a charge. If the owner is careful not to overcharge the battery and not to leave it completely discharged for a long period of time, the battery would probably last for several years. But still, the rechargeable battery should be in a battery holder behind a regular battery door so the user can replace it if that ever becomes necessary. I did take the back off of the radio and I noticed that it is an 18650 battery inside - a widely available battery - but they have wired it in directly. It could be replaced by someone with some tools and a small amount of experience working on such things, but this should not be necessary to replace a battery. Other than that one thing, there’s nothing here not to like. It’s nice to have a traditionally styled radio that also can play modern forms of media such as audio files from USB and SD storage devices. And the price is certainly more than fair for an audio device that works well and sounds good.
Review: Highly recommend - Love it! Great sound, love the vintage look, it's nice & compact, and the battery apparently lasts a long time! However; it does take a very long time to charge. Price was great & had it in two days. I love jammin' to my Oldies playlist on it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Controls are small, but you just learn to adjust
*by J***T on April 29, 2021*

This was a satisfying purchase. Easily fits the palm of your hand, if you're an NFL quarterback or play in the NBA. Otherwise, you won't be carrying it around, like a 1960s transistor that fits in your pocket. But who does that? This is a table top/counter top unit. It's about 5 inches wide. 3.5 high and 2.5 inches deep. The sound quality is good to above average. Has a Bluetooth option that is really nice. The audio quality won't match a $150 stand-alone speaker from Bose or other big brand in the sound industry, but for this price it's way more than adequate. I had an expensive Bluetooth speaker that quit working after 10 years. Had planned to replace it with a similar item, and probably still will, but this is fine in the interim. AM/FM dial is not digital, so if that matters to you, you should pass this by. The dial is lighted and easy to read. There are two small controls, one for the function - AM/FM/Speaker - and then the volume. The function dial doesn't have an arrow or good indication to tell which setting you are at. I took a black Sharpie and put a small dot at the place on the knob where an indicator should be. On/off button offers some resistance. Both controls are small. That's not a complaint, just full disclosure. I wouldn't avoid this product because of that. You can record to the smallest memory card, insert it and play. So, for example, if you have some type of mantra you practice daily that requires audio, there ya go. Start your own cult. I would say for the price it's a good unit, but it would be a good unit at a slightly higher price. Audio is fine. Rechargeable. Looks more expensive than it is. Nice little unit. People who see it will probably comment on it, and perhaps join your cult.
