PRUNUS J-160 Portable Radio Retro, SW AM FM Radio Small

It's not very often I feel compelled to write a review for something, but this little radio has really impressed me. Now bear in mind that it is much smaller than it looks in the photographs (it is shorter even than a can of coke), nevertheless it has rich and deep sounding audio with a satisfying amount of bass, although not too much. It feels weighty and really quite high-quality. The tuning dial is a pleasure to use, it has a nice amount of resistance and can be tuned delicately and precisely with a good degree of accuracy. The illumination on the tuning dial is really quite special, it is a warm golden colour and really evokes the feel of a tungsten lamp inside an old radio and elevates the aesthetic a lot. Not only does it look fantastic, it also makes for an easier time tuning into the radio station you want in poor light! FM, AM and SW stations all come in very clear, of course with FM being the highest quality by far, and given the small antenna size, the reception is excellent. Better even than some other, much more expensive radios I have with much larger antennas! Unfortunately I haven't yet had time to test the bluetooth and USB/TF card features. There are a few negatives I ought to mention. The radio charges via mini-USB which at this point feels quite dated, I don't really own any mini-USB cables anymore, but luckily one is included with the radio so you are good to go! Not a major issue, but I would have liked to have seen micro-USB or preferably USB-C. Secondly, the volume dial is both quite stiff and also far too sensitive. It's a fraction of a millimeter between inaudible and far too loud for my tastes, it's a little tricky to find a sweet spot, especially with the dial being so stiff. Lastly the mode switch is also quite stiff, and is fairly ambiguous to which mode you're in, the little notch doesn't point exactly to the modes as displayed on the radio, but it's not difficult to easily find out so this isn't a big problem. Overall I am much more impressed with this radio than I ever expected to be, it's a complete joy to use and listen to, and much more than a novelty! I haven't yet drained the battery after fully charging it so I can't comment on the battery life!

I really like this little radio with Bluetooth ability. I bought it for the Bluetooth but have also used the radio a lot. It is smaller than I expected but I like this and I have taken to carrying from room to room if I am listening to something. The only issue with mine is the volume on the radio is tricky to set low as it goes from no sound to loud in a few degrees turn of the volume control. This is not the case with Bluetooth as the volume can also be adjusted from my phone which supplies the signal. Definitely give stars for the money.

Stylish, small, perfect for my kitchen. Great sound quality, easy tuning. I’m not tech savvy so can’t do blue tooth etc but I’m happy dancing and singing along to Radio 2 when I’m cooking or washing up. Keeping me fit at 72 years of age.

Why did you choose this product over others?: I love the look of this radio, with its rich colour and solid build. The sound is excellent, and is perfect for when I'm working in the garden or the shed.

Lovely radio. Sounds amazing.

Fabulous small, pretty radio, only about 6 inches long, sits on the back of my bathroom loo and doesn't slide off due to its rubber feet, perfect for every time I'm taking a shower! Just like an old-fashioned radio: you turn the small knob to turn it on/off and adjust the volume, all in one, so it's much easier to use than most modern radios. It comes on straight away, unlike DAB radios which can take several seconds. You can turn the big dial to easily find different stations. There's an antenna you can pull out, but you don't usually need it. I listen to Radio 4 (mostly talk) and Radio 3 (music), and the sound quality of each is amazing! It's plenty loud enough for the kitchen, living room or wherever you want to put it. The on/volume knob is slightly sensitive if you have clumsy fingers, but you only need to take a little care to adjust it to the right volume. You need to charge the radio with a normal phone charger before first using - you don't need any batteries or wall plug. I've been listening to my radio for over a month now, and haven't needed to recharge it yet. It's way above any other radio I've ever owned, both in sound quality and ease of use, and I'd definitely recommend it!

Lovely little radio, very good easy to use, fantastic!!

This radio speaker is a reasonable product. It is functional and is quite light. It is not the most durable and the sound quality is not the greatest. There is also not Bluetooth connectivity. It is however easy to use and is overall an okay product.

Bra radio ljud perfekt lätt och ladda 👍

La radio vintage PRUNUS J-160 me ha encantado. El diseño retro es elegante y le da un toque especial a cualquier estancia. A pesar de su estilo clásico, la calidad del sonido es sorprendentemente buena: clara y con graves decentes, perfecta para escuchar emisoras AM, FM y SW. Me gusta que sea fácil de usar, con controles intuitivos y un sintonizador preciso. Además, es ligera y fácil de transportar si quiero cambiarla de habitación o llevarla a otra parte de la casa. En resumen, una radio bonita, funcional y con muy buen sonido para su tamaño. Ideal para los que buscan combinar estilo vintage con practicidad.

Fantastisch,heel lief kleine radio Heel goed geluid,en goede kwaliteit,stevig En de kleur rood is mooi!!!! Zeer tevreden

Habe mir das Radio für den Garten geholt und mich hauptsächlich wegen dem Look dafür entschieden aber wurde in allen weiteren Punkten positiv überrascht. Akku hält locker ein zwei Spiele Abende durch, keinerlei Empfangsprobleme, klarer Sound und lauter als gedacht.

Arkası açılmıyor. Yekpare. Pil takılamıyor. 2 adet aldım, frekans ayarlama modeülleri aynı istasyon için farklı sayıları gösteriyor, sanırım frekans modülleri analog. fişe takılamıyor, şarj için usb 5V şart. Malzeme kalitesi mükemmel, frekans ayarlayıcı arka ışığı harika. 7 farklı benzer radyo aldım, resimleri yükleyemediğimden kıyaslamaları gösteremiyorum, ama iyi bir tercih. Neden Amazon best seller olduğunu elinize alınca anlıyorsunuz.
