V112 AM FM Radio Portable, Mini Radio,Digital Tuning Rechargeable Battery LCD Display for Walking Jogging(Gold)

PROs: It has surprisingly good sound for such a little unit. The interface is easy to use (once programmed) so you can operate it by touch only, useful at night. Any smartphone with an FM tuner-app can play radio, but you can't operate an app by feel only. The radio has a sleep mode that shuts off after 90, 60, or other programmable number of minutes. Has a lock button so keys don't get accidentally pushed in a pocket or in bed. Stores up to 29 stations as presets. Rechargable Li battery is a good choice for an emergency radio, since you can keep it running from your car, computer, or pocket chargers, etc. That seems better than betting that you'll have the right size alkaline battery around when you need it. It's a small and good-looking radio besides (I got the gold-tone model). CONS: These are not deal-breakers, just annoyances. The biggest problem is that the instructions are wrong. To store preset stations, you must press Memo once; it flashes memo, then press that same key again. That's it. the M+ and M- keys are only for moving through the preset list. They have nothing to do with storing presets. You can figure that out with experimentation, as I did, but it is puzzling why they would print wrong instructions. Another con is that the lowest volume is still pretty loud for nighttime. You can loosen the earbuds to lower the volume further. Earbuds that come with it are uncomfortable, but high quality earbuds are not hard to come by these days. Overall, I wanted a small radio to do two things: 1. be operable by feel for nighttime insomnia, and 2. Use Li rechargable battery for my emergency kit. This radio meets the need at a very good price.

People always say “You get what you pay for” and in many instances that is the case. Not in this one! I often times think about how advanced technology has become and this one day I remembered the Walkman’s! I’m gen x and I like the old ways of just popping in my headphones and listening to whatever song was being played on the radio! So I ordered this am/fm portable pocket radio and have been truly pleasantly surprised at the quality and how well they work. The sound quality is exceptional and fits perfectly into my pocket!

This is my third try at getting a radio I can use to listen to post-game shows and while commuting on local light rail system. It's the best so far. It charges easily with USB-C, and the charge last way more than I need. Once you figure it out (don't throw away the instructions too fast) it's easy to use. The down sides: - I don't think I think the way Chinese designers do. You really need to spend 15 minutes figuring things out. That said, it's more obvious than the previous two I've had, and the instructions are, well, ok. - Chinese FM must use different standards than North America. In the US and Canada, FM operates between 88 and 108 mega hertz, and only at odd multiples of 0.1 MHz (like 93.1, 93.3, but not 93.2). This thing can operate between 64 and 108 MHz, and at any multiple of 0.1 MHz; setting things up is tedious. Other than that, I'm very happy.

I bought this because I go to 20 MLB games a year and thought I wanted to have the radio broadcast in my year. I tried streaming it from my phone to a bluetooth earphone, but that was 25 seconds behind live. I also found a portable radio that transmitted to bluetooth headphones. But this was the cheapest, simplest, and best solution. Turns out that I don't like having the broadcast in my ear the whole time because it takes me out of the live experience. But it's great to have it available when needed, e.g., "is he hurt", "what is the manager arguing about with the umpire", etc. It's tiny, has a delay vs live of 3-4 seconds, and comes on immediately when needed. A bluetooth portable radio is bigger, has to be re-linked to the headphones when you turn it on, and bluetooth introduces an additional second of delay. Special application, but for me, this was the best fit.

While this radio is far from perfect for the money spent it is pretty nice. Super compact and easy to use . Comes with earbuds , a nice lanyard and charging cord. Sound quality is not bad and push button controls work well for tuning and selecting stored stations and volume. The antenna is in the earbud wires so reception can be a little touchy on weaker stations but overall it is good. Earbuds are usable but I might upgrade to a better pair for more comfort. Overall a great buy and I would recommend and buy again.

Has been charging over a day and still says its only halfway charged.the radio works however and i dont expect to need it for more than three or four hours at a time so may not be an issue but when you buy something new you want it to work.

This Retekess V112 AM/FM portable radio worked great for our needs. We needed an FM radio for an event that was translated via FM broadcast, and it performed exactly as expected. Easy to use, clear reception, and dependable for the purpose.

me encantó, es muy practico, ligero y fácil de usar

This is the second time I am buying this product. I bought two of these about five years ago, they lasted till very recently, so I bought two more! I am repeating what I wrote earlier as a review. My earlier comments given below in the next paragraph still hold good, except for one change: my old BOSE speakers conked out, I now use the latest SONY XM-5 noise canceling speakers. Fantastic product! Small, light, and with a carry strap. Takes about an hour and a half to fully charge its built-in Lithium battery. Lasts about ten or twelve hours on a full charge (I bought two, while one is being charged, if I need to listen I use the spare!) Sound quality depends on the quality of your headphones. I use a set of BOSE, top of the line headphones, the sound is perfect. I would strongly recommend this item for anyone who wants to listen to AM or FM while walking around, or in the gym, or in public transport!

Muito bom este mini rádio ! Recomendo

This tiny cheap device works without a hitch. I do use my own earbuds (as in the picture) rather than the cheap ones supplied. Reception and sound on FM are both fine. Its so light and small it fits easily into a pocket to carry on my daily walk. The feature I like best is the "Lock" setting which locks the device to prevent inadvertent button pressing in a pocket. One downside is that the screen scratches easily on the keys I had in the same pocket (see pic) - I use a small gadget bag to put it in, or you can simply use a different pocket.

De buen tamaño, no pesa, facil de transportar y trae correa para colgarse y audifonos de buena calidad.
