ByronStatics Portable Radio AM FM, Vintage Retro Radio with Built in Speakers, Best Reception and Longest Lasting, Power Plug or 1.5V AA Battery - Cream

I bought it after reading a whole lot of reviews. It arrived fast and it is been playing for few days.So far no problems whatsoever. I am assuming those people who gave bad reviews for it not reaching some stations do not realize that the reception of the radio vary by the area. If you get a good signal for a given station for your area then this radio will definitely be able to pick it up. Not all signals are distributed evenly and they are not available in all areas. The greater urban density the more stations and the stronger signal and the more rural area further from the tower the weaker the signal so that is that.Not the radio problems.Radio is really lovely as it looks very vintage and this is the style I was looking for. It is good quality plastic and the finish is also nice quality, it does not look c heap. It is very light though. VERY light.Which is great if you are moving about with it or for elderly who have very weak hands to port it from one area of the house to another as it feather light.The operation is SUPER easy.Volume: the door on the top left as you face the radio, just turns easily to increase and decrease volumeTo Change stations - you just turn that big nice button on the face of the radio so the "station catcher" :) (my term) moves around the scale and as you do it goes through stations so you can stop wherever your heart pleases. It is nice as that is also easy to operate for elderly need be as there is no requirement of any fine motor skills here.It is great for young and older crowd as the style is really cool and works with a whole lot of eclectic interiors and also pure modern ones.

Very cute and nice small size. It sits on the cabinet beside my desk. I use it for background noise while I work. Its perfect for what I wanted.

Bought this to take into work. I like listening to the radio while at work but that doesn't mean my entire office does, so I love that it has a headphone jack. The speaker sound quality isn't too bad either. I love that it's small so it doesn't take up too much of my desk, but it's still cute so it looks like decor. Looks exactly like the photos!I checked with another person in the building with a radio (a pretty fancy one at that), and they get about the same amount of channels as me, so I think the range is pretty typical for a radio.It has both auxillary and battery power. I keep it plugged in at my desk but I also like the idea of having a battery powered radio just in case of an emergency. I haven't tested the battery life yet, but it takes 4 AA so I imagine a good amount of timeAs far as I'm concerned, it's the perfect little radio. But there are a few cons:-I didn't need/want anything with Bluetooth but if you do, this wouldn't be the radio for you.-it is a thinner plastic. Not super rugged. Doesn't feel super high quality when holding it-the dial is a physical dial, so you'll have to rotate it to get to your channels. I just marked the channels I listen to with a felt pen and called it a day, but if you're hunting for certain numbers, it could be a pain.-the headphones are a little quiet, I find myself turning the volume up to 75(ish)% when I want to listen to a song (as opposed to background noise)-its a very small radio, so it can only be so loud. Great for a house or office, but not necessarily the best for larger/louder venues

I was looking for something to leave on for my cats when I’m gone for a few days. If you’re looking for something small and uncomplicated this would fit the bill. It’s inexpensive but fits my needs perfectly. Great value for your dollar! Plus it’s cute too!

Yes, this is a cheap (some would say chinzy) radio but it is just PERFECT for my very specific needs. I was not looking for booming sound quality. I wasn't looking to break the windows of my neighbors' house or even to hear the layered quality of a Mozart concerto. I just wanted a little portable radio to play in the bathroom while I was in the shower and getting ready. Yes, it is likely the plastic "chrome" knobs will chip, and yes, it will not be a family heirloom, but the retro style looks adorable and I get my morning news and background music for an extremely cheap price.I purchased two because my new house (built in 1966) has a full bath in the hallway and a half bath off what I guess would be called the "master bedroom." I like that it has a cord but also works with batteries. I use the cord to preserve the batteries in case there is a power failure or a natural disaster. Although I wouldn't classify myself as a doomsday prepper (unlike my sister who has a garage full of enough astronaut diapers, airlocked canisters of coffee, non-electric appliances, a fuel generator, and Meals Ready To Eat to feed an army battlion), I do come from Southern California which means earthquakes and fire storms. So compared to my sister's battery powered NOAA/HAM radio system which cost more than my house in Ohio, I feel confident that this little cheap radio just may come in handy. If anything, the cute retro styling will intrigue the zombies during the apocalypse. ; )Hope this review helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

Worked ok with the plug, but not at all with the batteries, and yes they were in right, and yes they were brand new Duracell AA batteries..but it looks nice..

Great radio that catches all the stations I listen to and has good sound for what it is. Static was nonexistent, though that may depend on your location. Size is great to take anywhere and the design is a nice throwback. Would recommend for sure.
