cheap and cheerful, good recption, sounds good and more than loud enough. impressed.
Wasn't expecting much here for the price. They're cheap and cheerful. Couple of AA batteries, used them now on and off for days and have yet to change the batteries.I bought these in combination with one of those little FM transmitters that are self powered and just sit in a 3.5mm socket for listening to tunes and stuff wirelessly from an old laptop thing where the bluetooth doesn't work etc and tbh they do the job really well.The sound quality is a lot better than I expected for the money. It's on par with most £20 quid Bluetooth sets.Pros:Normal batteries - no faffing about charing them up, no built in obsolescenceBattery life - really good. Haven't got through my first pair of AAs yet!Tuning - Digital, lots of presets, difficult to accidentally retune in use.External "rubber duck" antenna - make you look a bit like a telly tubby or something but you're not going for the aesthetics if you're buying these :) Reception strong as a result.Loudness - plenty loud enough.Closed backed - works well on the bike (I know, I know...) but buts out traffic noise etc which is handy for talk radio or audio books etc.Comfy - the "clamping" effect is a bit on the slacker side than say a pair of radio ear defender or something. This means they're not crushing your ears which is a good thing. Can wear these things all day and they don't hurt which is more than can be said for a lot of other headphones.Cons.Digital tuning presets is mental. I don't normally have to go to the instruction book for any electronics as even the obscure stuff is normally intuitive enough for me. Worst design ever on this. However, if you're rain man you won't have any problems.No AM tuning - not really a con because they're up front with this in the advert but would be nice.Russian / Chinese band FM - (this might be a pro if you want that kind of thing), adds time to the auto scanning for FM stations as you've basically got an additional block (50 something to 87.5MHz) where there's literally no broadcasts happening in the UK. This could be a pro if you also have a dodgy Chinese FM transmitter box that uses these frequencies - albeit illegal, you won't have any problems with station clashes, lol.Buttons. A nondescript grid of buttons to memorise the location of functions if you don't want to be taking the headphones off to look at the controls to do basic things like retuning or turning the volume up and down. I get this keeps costs to an absolute minimum, but like the memory presets this is a terrible idea from a usage perspective, however, it's useable if you've got the patience to remember this stuff :)All in all I can't fault these for the money. I was expecting the sound to be, well, awful and was pleasantly surprised. They're ideal for the intended use, which might be a bit niche, but there you go. They're my go to headphones now if I'm not wanting notifications from the phone or the faff thinking about what to listen to, haven't listened to proper FM radio for ages, but it's a bit nostalgic and to be honest a bit of a relief to just grab these and see what's playing on Greatest Hits Radio or whatever.Bonus being if I lose them or they fall off and get run over or something, it's hardly going to break the bank replacing them.

Great sound for a little over £10 !
First opinion was extremely impressive for the money but lacked stereo separation. I was amazed when I realised that there was a mono/stereo button and the stereo was fantastic once I realised that.I've heard much poorer sound from much dearer headphones and the lack of a cord is a bonus. These were on offer for under £11 and I consider them a bargain. Just buy a couple of rechargeable A.A.'s and you have a great sound for little money and no built-in obsolescence, as with some headphones with a built-in lithium-ion battery. Good radio as well.

Simple,honest product
Bought these one for my partner and one for her mother. Wants something simple not to complicated for use at the allotment something with no wires to get pruned. This item fitted the requirements and is compactable so fits into a small bag. Wasn't overly easy to program the stations but after some perseverance sorted it. Areial robust and strong picks up signal with no issues. Would definitely recommend for someone looking for a sturdy, inexpensive radio for outdoor use in the garden, without annoying the neighbours.

Love it
It's a very nice, cheap, no nonsense headphones with radio. It does what it says on the tin, the buttons are very handy and easy to use without having to look at them (once you've learned them, but that takes no time at all).Batteries last a long time.It won't win any awards for design or sound quality, but it is more than adequate.Also, it has an aux socket so can be used as regular headphones, but what I found is that if I plug another set of headphones there the other person can listen to the same radio, as well!

Great
I've been using these for about a week now at work - mainly when I'm driving round a driving range in the early hours collecting around 12,000 balls and so far I love them - very light and comfortable to wear , I listen to radio 2 & the reception is superb - very little static - which a more expensive brand I bought had a lot more static when I drove too near the building and they also hurt my ears which these ones do not . The sound is great - has a good bass sound . I'm just hoping they last longer than the more expensive brand I bought - if they do I am so getting these again - they are making my mornings very cheerful :) . Thought I would give an update two months on . I use these at work 6 days a week in all weathers although I now use a hood on my jacket to cover the headphones in the rain - they have survived drizzle & light rain with no protection though . I listen to three different stations depending on who is on in the mornings - radio 2 is a bit too woke for me on Sunday mornings ! I listen to radio 1 , radio 2 & More radio on the Sunday morning and I'm so impressed with the reception still . I have decided to buy another pair as spare as I'm so pleased with these.
