Vondior AM/FM Battery Operated Portable Pocket Radio - Best Reception and Longest Lasting. AM FM Compact Transistor Radios Player Operated by 2 AA Battery, Mono Headphone Socket, by Vondior (Silver)

I bought this for nostalgic reasons. I just wanted to buy a little radio I could take anywhere and listen wherever I go. I thought it would be fun. When I was a 12 year old kid in the very early1960's in a remote area of Southern Wyoming, I had a transistor radio Mom and Dad bought for me. It was so much fun to carry around in shirt or pants pocket and tune in a station to listen to on my own when working or playing in the fields. I have to say, I understand today why it was so much fun then, because it still is today. The tuner is small and very delicate (just like back then) except it actually tunes in far better. It takes a bit of time (a few seconds if you know the frequency you want) to get right on your station, but when you do, it stays tuned in very nicely with no static or cross-talk like the old ones had. Audio quality is really far better than you would expect for such a small package, far better that the ones I had as a kid. Reception is good even for remote stations. I listen in my house, out fishing, or anywhere I go. As much fun today as ever before.

I took this radio backpacking, and it was cold, in the 20s, with windchill in the teens, I had fresh batteries in it and we listened to it for 3 nights in a row on those batteries and it was still going strong when we went home. It has okay sound, it’s plenty loud enough but maybe somewhat “tinny” sound but hey it’s a tiny radio what do you expect? Anyway to give you an idea of how loud and clear, every time I’d turn it on, the coyotes all around would begin barking and howling from far away, I think they never hear sounds like it radio and mistook it for another coyote out there and they were calling to it saying “hey! We’re over here!” Anyway it’s a good quality radio and let me also add we did have some light rain and it did get wet and even that didn’t have any negative effects on it, it didn’t get soaking wet but my backpack was wet my rain jacket too, and this radio was certainly as wet as everything else and it held up fine! It’s a good radio and a great price.

mine came in an open envelope. box was a bit smooshed, but the radio was good. feels and looks very cheap/fragile. tuning knob was crooked but worked. on/off was interesting. I have not seen that type of mechanism in many many years. but it worked. antenna did help pick up my favorite radio station. headset played properly. built in speaker sounds ok. I really have no technical issues. But I have had it only a short time. I do have a cosmetic issue. the sticker they use for the radio stations has bubbles in it. Minor but still annoying. worth the money if it holds up.

I work well with electronics and I have worked with all kinds my entire life so I feel very confident to say that there was no damage to the radio itself however when initially opened and put batteries inside of, the on light would turn on when switched to the on position but the radio itself would not make any noise or leave any signal to show that it's working other than that light. without having to open it up I can only say that it probably was the speaker getting damaged through shipping or something else that caused an issue or the malfunction that occurred. I will say though for the price you get what you get and is cheap so if it got damaged it happens. and to give it some good reviews I will say that it is a comfortable sized radio the controls are in it wonderful positioning for easy use and it is a very well designed aesthetically and usability wise. if the radio were to be working I would give it 5 out of 5 stars no questions asked however since I do not have a working radio I cannot review whether the actual signal is good enough or if it's a quality sounding radio or if they even picks up the signal well and maybe it's just a fuzzy. but anything that doesn't have to do with the signal or sound which I cannot comment on I will say is designed very well to give the benefit of a doubt.

I wanted to get an "old school" portable radio to attach to my bike for Summer riding and couldn't find an old one anywhere or for the right price. So I decided I would buy a new one that acted like an old one but was afraid I just couldn't find one since they don't make things like that anymore! Well, let me tell you, this one does the job! It's a bit lighter in weight than an old school one but the sound on this was excellent, clear, and picked up a ton of stations even before I pulled the antenna out! Yes, ANTENNA! I am so happy with this little radio! It is everything I was looking for! It takes 2 AA batteries (way cheap) and it barely uses any battery power to work (radios never do). I miss the days of before, when things were simple. This little radio brought me back to the 1980s :) Also, the shipping was 1 day, yes, I ordered on Saturday and it was delivered on Sunday and the company even emailed saying they hoped I was happy with radio and that if there were any problems at all, they would promptly take care of it and that customer satisfaction is #1! They were right. I HIGHLY recommend this company and their products!

My first one arrived broken, but Amazon replaced it after I returned it. If you're looking for excellent quality, spend more. It does not work very well at low volume. You get what you pay for.

Writing a review after more than six months of using the radio. Price is too high. Sound quality is good and sharp, but not powerful as they mentioned in the description. Not long lasting. Batteries exhaust soon. Outer body (plastic) is of very poor quality and seems to be fragile if the radio is dropped. Overall i give satisfactory remark. Needs to improve with respect to powerful sound, tough body material, quick and efficient picking up of signals /stations when tuned. As this product is priced too high.

Great sound and volume,

good item

Got this to use for the occasional drive in movies and emergency cases. Works fantastic off a few batteries and the battery life is great. Sound isn't the best but connect an external speaker via the jack and it's a game changer. No more dead batteries or having to idle the car during drive in movies!

Buen sonido, ligero y práctico, a mi madre le encantó lo usa Día y noche, muy buena calidad
