I bought this item 2 weeks ago and I was happy with it. I was at an international conference and used it for the English translation station available.
My 2nd purchase of this radio and all is well. The batteries last quite long, it receives surprisingly distant stations and has (for me) only four (4) buttons to maneuver since I only listen to the radio. Only negative: the battery door on the 1st one broke off, but I just rubber band it to make contact. Otherwise, a great little device.
I was excited to see this I needed a basic radio with battery usage!! I have one but it’s older exact same but this one is newer updated a bit and an armband !! I love it !! Some places there’s no cell service.. and it’s comforting to use at times to disconnect from mobile phones!! 👍👍 and bonus it came with headphones tho I’ll use mine 😁
I have been purchasing this radio for many years. It is easy for my special needs adult son to operate and he knows what buttons are where to change channels, volume, etc. This gives him a feeling of independence and something to occupy his time since he is almost completely blind. Very good sound quality as well. I usually buy 2 or 3 at a time because if he accidentally drops it and breaks it, he still has another. Very reasonably priced and good quality
I bought this for myself so I can take along with me on my walks to enjoy music without having to have a data or wifi connection it's perfect compact and never lets me down unless the batteries run out of course..lol
