Review: Compact, Well-made, & Functional - I wanted a radio that is small, durable and reliable. I was choosing between this, and the Panasonic RF-P50d Pocket. I noticed both models have the headphone jack just below the volume wheel, which means they both require a somewhat unwieldy grip to adjust volume while the headphone jack is in use. That aside, it's a pretty stellar radio, and seems to be notably smaller than other big brand radios, like Sony, and Panasonic. This Philips radio is about an inch slimmer (width), and half-an-inch shorter than the Panasonic radio I mentioned earlier. -Build Quality: Powered by two AAA batteries. It seems to be quite durable with a nice weight to it. The radio appears to be made of mostly ABS plastic, with a metallic speaker grill over the face. The lens of the slider information panel appears to be some kind of hard plastic (rather than glass). No LEDs present anywhere on the system. Battery door slides off, but I would be careful with the spokes on it, as they feel a bit thin. I recommend opening the battery door slowly, and with care. -Functionality (Good): I currently live near the heart of a large city, and have no problems picking up lots of channels on the FM side. AM is a bit barren, but perhaps the building I am in makes the signal in that spectrum poor. It's inconsequential for me since my favorite stations are on the FM side. Volume slider (& power-on switch) works without any issues. Tuning slider, and AM/FM band switch also work without any hiccups. The antenna extends to about a foot, but I have found I don't even need to pull it out to get a good signal for my preferred FM stations. Only gripes: -Headphone jack placement (gets in the way of the volume slider when in use): it should have been near the top of the device (either above the tuning slider & volume slider, or anywhere along the same side as the antenna) -No belt loop strap/clip Good price for a quality, pocket friendly radio. If you want something similar-to or smaller-than Sony, and Panasonic's pocket radios then I highly recommend this Philips radio!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ value
*by J***N on April 20, 2025*

very well made, has good sound and good reception

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic Design and Small Form Factor
*by J***. on September 29, 2024*

I really dig this fun little pocket radio. PROS: • Classic 80s/90s-style design and form factor • Philips brand name • Super compact and pocketable • Nice build quality for a $15 radio CONS: • Speaker is a bit tinny • An odd quirk with the volume dial – for some reason rolling the wheel UP turns the volume down/rolling the wheel DOWN turns the volume up. I keep having to catch myself and unlearn this simple intuition.
