Tinkerer's Delight
The Bluetooth feature is great. The FM radio works great. The SW radio is an interesting touch for listening to the world's SW radio stations that are unlike a lot of US/North American FM band stations.Pros:Bluetooth easy and reliableCompactMultiple power sourcesCons:No power light or switch position indicator, so it's easy to forget that it's on. (It doesn't draw much power when not playing though, I have left it on all night without playing anything through Bluetooth and thebattery was not drained much.)Sounds very boomy and distorts voices especially at louder volumes (out of the box, anyway).Tinkerer's DelightTo improve the sound, I decided to open it up and add some KILMAT sound deadening to the inside of the case. I highly recommend doing this; I used 80 mil KILMAT, only took about a quarter sheet or so.The sound difference is much better; the speaker has better high-end now and voices and mid-range are not resonating with the case of the radio, so it's clearer at all volumes.When I had the case open, I detached the circuit board. On the board you will find play/pause, previous track, next track buttons already soldered to the board. You will also find a USB A jack and a microSD card jack. These items are hidden just below the surface of the top of the radio case! So, with a little bit of rotary tool work and a piece of flat styrene you could make an access port for these buttons and ports. I didn't try the microSD card or USB port (yet) but the buttons work with Bluetooth to control the track playback. I am now curious if it happens to actually support weather band (2m) radio reception, but a feature for that would have to be enabled on the chip... maybe accessible by the USB?As for the power indicator, getting a small plastic jewel and drilling a hole in the knob and gluing the jewel into the knob would make a good indicator, as would using some fingernail polish to make a mark on the knob and body of the radio to indicate when the switch is rotated to the off position.Overall, very neat little radio.

Great little radio
Needed a replacement radio for my kitchen just to have some music playing and it connects to blue tooth. Perfect compact size and volume is good for being so small. I will say the channels are a little off, meaning if it says 104, the actual station is not at that exact spot if it makes sense.

Honestly, it's not great
I've reviewed a few radios lately and some of them are really good. This one, however, really comes up short. The sound quality is just not there. It sounds like a lightweight plastic box. The internal battery in this one never charges, and the tuner dial is way off. I searched up and down and eventually found my local 98.5 station at around 102 or so on the dial. Never was able to tune anything on the shortwave band. Overall quality is not very good.

Nice radio
Really nice little radio. I ordered it mainly for when the power goes off, and I’m happy with the purchase. It’s small and compact with a nice color and look to it.
