PRUNUS J-166 Portable Radio AM FM, Battery Operated Radio with Tuning Light, Back Clip, Excellent Reception, AM FM Radios Portable, Transistor Radios

Excellent price & performs well. This is my second one. I have one I use in pool & another for everything else (gardening, exercising, etc). Can’t go wrong with this one. Buttons are easy to use & still sounds good with ear phones.

This is great portable radio if you are looking for something compact and easy to carry around with you. It has a very good build quality and is well packaged. The sound quality is exceptional through the speaker and the headphone jack. Very good reception for both am and fm in my location. Bought a second one for my wife who was really impressed with its performance and she is not a radio buff as I am. All in all a good purchase, price not being a big factor, though it was very economical.

This cute radio takes 2 AA batteries (not included). It’s small and mighty. Sound is impressively clear and dials are super easy to understand.It even has clip and I successfully clipped it to my jean pocket.Neat and simple and loud.A fun purchase.Might be a fun retro gift for any age. I bought three as gifts.

Fine little radio for the price - receives well. I keep a little one to listen to NPR to as I shower, etc. in the bathroom. The only complaint I have is that the little slide is hard switch to ON, OFF, FM and AM. Fortunately I'm agile and have fingernails, but still find it hard to manipulate. I wouldn't recommend for someone with older fingers or no long nails.

I bought this pocket radio with minimal expectations - I wanted it for local talk & sports stations, no DX or high fidelity sound required.The speaker sound quality is surprisingly good - no bass of course, but clear and clean otherwise. The audio over headphones is also good.It's about as simple and functional as it gets - tuner and volume wheels, AM/FM/OFF slide switch, and audio jack. A tuning light comes on to indicate station lock, and the turning works well. It's a little more finicky on AM than FM but once locked in it's fine. The extendable antenna seems sturdy but is not really needed for the local stations. I have not done any extensive testing with weaker stations.Build quality is acceptable, though I wouldn't want to drop it. It's very lightweight. I appreciate that the battery cover is "captured" so that it would be harder to lose than one that completely pops off.I'm very satisfied with it. I rate it at five stars because given the cost, and what it provides, I couldn't ask for more.

I purchased this radio specifically to cross listening to Cuban propaganda on actual Cuban AM radio stations located inside Cuba off my bucket list. Well... Let's just say I'm impressed because I picked up Cuba, America, and Turks and Caicos while I was deep inside Bahamas. The sound is adequate, the 3.5mm jack for private listening is a major plus, reception of radio signals while out in the middle of the ocean is fantastic....particularly AM broadcasts at night. The controls are basic switches, pots, and variable caps for ease of use and the volume control has a wide range. I cannot verify clarity since I was knowingly and willingly picking up radio stations well over 100 miles away. One does not need to raise the telescoping antenna to receive local FM channels or distant AM broadcasts after dark. I'm not sure how it works while in mountainous conditions or in temperature inversions, though I do live in the mountains and will test it some time for that. I'm not able to comment on durability since I only bought this unit to be disposable. The only flaw is that my tuning needle (that orange bit) which shows where I am on the radio frequency is a wee bit crooked. But, that's not a turn off for someone who bought this to be both cheap and disposable.

2025 - $10 - Totally worth it. This is actually the best AM/FM portable radio I've ever owned. Sound is clear and a lot better than my $500 phone. Case is tougher than most electronics. I've seen some low ratings, they could happen. But most of it seems to be not understanding "Radio" technology.AM/FM Radio is pre-television technology using radio waves. Not a bit of digital tech happening there. If you use these while moving in any manner, YES your tuning will fade in & out ( similar to phone bars under bridges). Not the radios fault. It's the old technology of the beast. Ditto the reception of specific radio stations. Depends totally on your position and distance in relation to the radio station you are trying for. This little $10 baby picks up a LOT more stations than my car radio, with better clarity. I've had this for 20 days now, used it at least 10 of those days, running at least 10 hours total - have yet to need to change the 2 batteries ( Amazon Basics AA). If you want to listen all day, every day - I suggest a stack of handy rechargeable batteries.Helpful Hint - Tuning is achieved by turning the tuning knob, which is run by a string or cord to make the red station marker move ( quite standard for non-digital ). And my example is every channel from about channel 99 to about 105 is somewhere within the "102" markings on the radio. So 98.1 thru 105.1 can be found inline with the 102 marking on the radio. It's just how it is on all radios. Look at the markings on the radio dial. It jumps( using FM as the example) 87 to 90 to 102 to 108. Why the weird numbering? Don't know. It's been that way for over 100 years for AM and pre-1960's for FM. And "piece of string" marker location vs. Station may vary a little day to day or use to use. Again, I LOVE my new little toy. I like to listen to "The Morning Crews" on various stations as I have my morning coffee out on the porch ( 6 cups).
