Review: Value for money! - I was initially after a radio with a 3.5mm AUX socket, but I ordered this one by mistake and as it turns out, worth the money. Good and full sound, solid and weighty construction and lots of sweet features. Looks good, too.
Review: Great rugged basic radio with MP3 playback and well made - This is a good quality basic radio with MP3 playback using micro SD, SD and USB. It is quite compact and rugged as described. It looks pleasingly clear. It has one of the best speakers I have come across in this price bracket. Not a cheap 0.5w speaker but one that can carry watts. Consequently the sound is good. The radio is nothing special really, but works well and tuning is light and smooth. The MP3 function is again basic but the sound is really good. It comes with mains power or D type batteries, not supplied. This radio will run a very long time on D type batteries. I remember the days when radios like this would use a PP3 battery, nothing like as good. Very pleased with it. Great radio.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent little radio
*by K***E on 28 December 2022*

Somewhat smaller than I anticipated and the casing much lighter in weight than I thought it would be. Decent sound from speakers -they don't sound too tinny, but they're small, so not going to sound like Jansen studio speakers anyway. The volume and tuning dials are very easy to use, they don't wobble on their spindles and are responsive to turning. The smaller dials are wobbly on their spindles and don't seem particularly robust; this could do with improvement. Battery compartment properly soldered and accepts standard D batteries with secure tension and fitting, and the radio does run on batteries. Carry handle works and feels tight in the housing. The antenna works and pivots easily and well, but isn't very robust, so needs handling with care. Cord could have been 20cm or so longer, but it's adequate and well made. I would recommend this radio overall, but think the price point is a bit high (close to £50 at time of purchase) because the casing isn't very strong and the 2 smaller dials feel flimsy.
