RetekessV112 AM FM Portable Pocket Radio, FM Receiver, Digital Tuning Stereo, with Headphones, Rechargeable Battery, for Walking, Jogging, Training, Church (Red)

I am an early morning fast walker with NPR as my morning companion. My old pocket radio wore out and Retekess has proven to be an excellent replacement. Function buttons are obvious and easy to use. Reception was been great and I like the lanyard for carrying versus having to store in a pocket as was the case with my previous version. Happy listener.

This very small radio is amazing! It sounds great for its size and is easy to carry in a pocket. I purchased this because it goes far below on the FM band that most people are familiar with and is reserved for individuals that are hard of hearing. Stereo sounds great and tuning is extremely simple. It is rechargeable using s standard cord that I use to charge my Samsung phone.

I wear this radio AM/FM, while I walk. It is wired earbuds only. It's light and has a powerful receiver especially for its size and digital tuning. Features: rechargeable, LED display, lanyard included. IMPORTANT to me is it has plenty of volume unlike my Sangean DT-800 or my CC Pocket Radio.

I bought this because I go to 20 MLB games a year and thought I wanted to have the radio broadcast in my year. I tried streaming it from my phone to a bluetooth earphone, but that was 25 seconds behind live.I also found a portable radio that transmitted to bluetooth headphones.But this was the cheapest, simplest, and best solution. Turns out that I don't like having the broadcast in my ear the whole time because it takes me out of the live experience. But it's great to have it available when needed, e.g., "is he hurt", "what is the manager arguing about with the umpire", etc.It's tiny, has a delay vs live of 3-4 seconds, and comes on immediately when needed.A bluetooth portable radio is bigger, has to be re-linked to the headphones when you turn it on, and bluetooth introduces an additional second of delay.Special application, but for me, this was the best fit.

I just loved this radio. Took it outside of USA and it worked perfectly. Headphones were comfortable, battery lasted the whole day, great sounds from the headphones, compact, good radio to buy

Gave four stars because three and one-half not an option. Have only used for about a week at time of this review and mainly on AM band.First, size is about same as quarter inch thick credit card. And it is light, about like a single AA battery. I was expecting a bit more heft, especially with a built in battery.Was a bit disappointed with AM reception. Is decent, but does not compare to a good table-top AM radio. For city dwellers likely not an issue, for rural folks the radio orientation matters.Otherwise, the button switches have nice click and feel. The audio jack which has caused me problems with many other devices is working very good so far but time will tell on that. I sat down and read the little manual to understand the memory functions, but is really fairly simple in operation.I use a lightweight Koss headset for listening and therefore cannot comment on the included earbuds. Can say however that sound quality on both bands is about what you would expect from a little radio. Not dynamic but decent.Screen is very readable for tuning and memory slot. Battery power bar though is tiny. Too small IMO. Have only charged battery once, so don't have a good handle on it's life other than it is exceeding my expectations.Lock switch works well. It prevents accidental changes in station and volume from button bumping while working. The ninety minute auto-off can be a pain but is minor point for me.If radio still working well a year from now would have no problem recommending without reservation.Update--6 months since purchased. Have dropped rating one star to okay. Biggest negative is battery life and the lack of a battery bar to monitor it. Imagine your cellphone quitting without warning because battery ran out. Unless you just took off charger and know the little battery is full, there is no way to know when it needs charging till it shuts off then only lasts a few seconds on restarting. No other complaints. Bottom line, radio okay but on a do-over would spend more and buy a full featured small radio.

Updated review: The product no longer works after just 4 months. There must be manipulation of the star rating algorithm happening on Amazon. This thing was JUNK! This is one of those Amazon purchases that on hindsight I didn't really need and if I saw this in person /at a store would not have purchased based on the look/feel of the product.. Yes I need a small handheld portable radio and this does work. It's just not amazing. It''s very light, plastic. There is a PRONOUNCED hiss when the radio is playing, even on the stations that comes in cleanly on other devices. My Apple iPod with radio has a MUCH better reception for the stations, no hiss whatsoever. A bit tricky setting the stations but once I figured it out (included directions are not very instructive) it's fine. I truly miss the days of the classic Sony Walkman. Now that was something to write sonnets about! The Retekess pocket radio...it's fine. After a week of use I have downgraded this to 2 stars. UPDATE: One of the earbuds has stopped working after 1 month. I really don't understand all the 5 star reviews. I think there are some manipulation/ bots on these 5 star reviews. 1 star after 1 month of use. FINAL UPDATE 12/12/2024: 4 months after purchase it no longer works!!
