PRUNUSJ-618 Portable Radio AM FM to Bluetooth Earphone, as Bluetooth Speaker, 2000mah Rechargeable Radio, Preset, TF Card Shuffle Play, Headphone Jack, Sleep Timer, Walkman Radios, Digital Radios

Preface: I'm 72 years old and listen to over-the-air radio. I have not used the MP3 play capabilities of this product much if at all. I don't know if I ever will.I've been waiting years for this. A pocket AM/FM radio with OUTBOUND Bluetooth. This one is very well-designed. The buttons and interface are easy to understand, and the Bluetooth interface works well with my various earbuds. I saw the user manual's warning to turn off Bluetooth when not using it and do so.I'm impressed by the FM sensitivity and (with earbuds) good audio performance. Battery life is excellent. I strongly recommend this radio for use like mine - jogging, cooking, relaxing. Well done!

OK I've only had this little radio for two weeks, but so far I am very impressed. We live about fifty miles from Boston, just about at the maximum range for picking up FM stations from there. To my surprise reception of those stations is very good - equal in strength and clarity to my Bose. I've used the radio daily since I received it, often for long periods at a time and sometimes using blue tooth to transmit to my ear buds. Even so, I have just today had to recharge the battery, Given its small size, I expected poor sound quality from its speaker, but no, if the signal is reasonably strong, the sound quality is quite good. The blue tooth transmitter function is a big plus. I can set the radio on a table and listen on my ear buds while walking around. Of course, you can't wander too far away before you lose the signal. I haven't used the MP3 function yet, so I can't comment on that. All in all, a great little radio as far as I'm concerned.

Prunus J-618I bought this radio because of its unique Bluetooth feature of being able to listen to AM FM and MP3 music on a wireless headset. Normally, Bluetooth causes interference to AM and FM radio . I was prepared to send it back thinking perhaps the Bluetooth was only for MP3 play. Surprisingly, Bluetooth worked on all three functions, however, AM sound was somewhat fuzzy and attenuated, but still listenable through Bluetooth. Tuning on FM was good and on AM exceptional. FM and MP3 are both stereo on stereo headsets. MP3 is basic in function and manipulation. “Mix”, “single” and “all” were the options as well as “forward one file” or “backward one file”. You can auto scan for presets or set them manually. The buttons are somewhat persnickety, as you can accidentally seek the next strong station when attempting to advance to the next frequency if you hold down the button a little too long. If you do press and hold the button and the radio seeks the next strong signal, but you interrupt it, it will revert to the original frequency instead of stopping at the frequency on the display. Also, when changing radio bands, if you press the button a little too long you will initiate a band scan for automatic presets.Overall, it’s a very good radio. They recommend using a never paired Bluetooth device, such as a Bluetooth speaker or Bluetooth headset/earphones. Also, to either turn off all Bluetooth devices or to pair initially away from Bluetooth signals. I’ve paired it with my Bose headphones, sleep mask earphones, and my iPhone to receive and play music. Yes, it also has stereo sound on wired headphones/earphones.The beauty of wireless sound means you can set your radio to optimal reception (i.e. attaching a wire to the telescopic antenna to increase FM reception or using a passive loop AM antenna) allowing you the freedom to move about and still enjoy unhindered reception.

This product totally worked for my needs. Battery lasts long, reception is great, and it connected to my blue tooth speaker. I know some have had difficulty getting the BT to connect but it worked for mine pretty seemlessly (IKEA Eneby 20). Not super intuitive but once I got everything setup (presets, BT) it was a breeze to use. I give it a 5 star for the price and functionality. Would recommend.

I bought one and it didn’t work as advertise. I returned it and receive a second one and it didn’t work as well. If you want to use this radio in your home or at a ball game to listen to the play-by-play, this is not the radio for you In the instructions it even tells you that you might have issues if you’re surrounded by other electronics and it also doesn’t connect clean to Bluetooth earbuds. If you’re surrounded by people with phones or other Bluetooth devices, it may not connect.
