Wasn't drlivered

Very compact Internet Radio with multiple features like FM, Bluetooth facility, Podcast, etc. But the best part is the quality of the sound ...... simply superb with Stereophonic sound. Last but not the least, it's a value for money purchase. Highly recommended.

Buen radio por internet. Su configuración para el wifi es sencilla, y tiene buen sonido en estéreo.

I will just review it for what I bought it for. I did not buy it for Spotify, but just for listening to some stations I miss since I moved to my new house. I am a radio person having been around radios since my childhood, do not like playlist, it is all about listening to random songs, and the option to switch to a different station when I want to. I am a DXer, if you know what it means, and have plenty of radios that I tune for SW. And of course have a license of HAM. With that out of the way, let’s talk about this radio. I have not gone through the manual, but apart from using the preset keys, you don’t really need it (unfortunately it’s not in the manual, to save a preset, long press one of the keys and save to a available slots. To select just short press it). I found the interface easy to navigate, setup was a breeze, it updated as soon as I connected to internet. I read bad reviews about battery life, but put in fresh batteries, probably payed for more than four hours, and battery still shows all 3 bars. The sound is a little bit tinny - you can expect it from small speakers, and I didn’t see a way to change the date to US mm/dd/yyyy format, but apart from that do not have a complaint. This is my new toy as I do not have to worry about atmospheric miracles to get long range SW signals. I am not giving up DXing, but for regular use, this is pretty decent. If you are looking for a internet radio you will not be disappointed. Of course we still have to look for longevity. Keeping fingers crossed.

Things I liked about the LEMEGA IR4S radio system: 1. It was easy to set up once you figure out the centrality of the front knob for controlling settings' selections. 2. The sound quality is good - meaning that it's clear and not distorted; it can get pretty darn loud if needed. Given the small size of the two speakers, the bass output is on the lighter side (as would be expected in this unit's price range). When I listened through wired headphones plugged into the rear 1/8" headphone jack, the bass was notably improved. 3. There's lots of interesting and useful features to set and play around with. Podcasts, Internet radio, FM and Bluetooth worked well. I didn't try Spotify because it don't use it. DAB radio didn't find any stations in my area. 4. FM tuning worked well. No problems encountered. 5. It's easy to set presets for your favorite stations. 6. I can run off of 4 AA batteries as well as from the *included* power adapter and cable. 7. The FM antenna is well placed and works. Inputting text using the central knob is a bit funky - it works, but would benefit from improvement instead of a single-knob approach. Overall, recommended in this price range.
