Portable Radio, ZHIWHIS FM Digital Tuner with Best Reception, Pocket Transistor Receiver with Stereo Sound, Battery Operated Walkmen with Scan and Preset Black

My 1st, and 2nd most important criteria are reception and sound quality. Amazon just dropped this off on my porch. I tuned in my favorite (low power) FM station and it sounds absolutely perfect... everywhere I've gone inside and outside my house. I tried my Samsung Galaxy S9's FM function today and it was good most of the time but there was static, dropped reception briefly at times, which is disappointing. But this little gem of a 2x AAA radio sounds wonderful. The stereo is great, separation is excellent, consistently comes in without static or hiss. I have a couple of Sandisk M250 FM/MP3 players, about the same size, that run on a single AAA and has a configuration system in which I can choose mono or stereo for FM and I mostly leave it on mono because the stereo is 1/2 the time pretty nasty with noise and hiss. But this Portable Radio, ZHIWHIS FM Digital Tuner doesn't seem to require an optional mono setting. Fingers crossed, maybe in different weather it will, but so far it sounds fantastic. It's simplicity itself, but that's all I need. The fact that it uses 2 AAA batteries is great, I much prefer this to a lithium ion battery solution, which can be unsafe and those batteries eventually wear out. I always have charged Eneloop AAA batteries on hand. For me, this is perfect. It's actually quite handsome to look at. This is currently unavailable (6/1/21), but I have two, hopefully they'll hold up. Given my experience, I can wholeheartedly recommend this little gem. Hopefully it will be available again. Edit: It's available now, July 18, 2024. A long review here complained about battery life but the reviewer must have had a different item, theirs kept time, this does not.

Good sound quality and easy to use. I use it to listen to the play by play when I go to live football games. It is very small and fits easily into your pocket with plenty of length on the ear bud cords. It also has a shirt clip attached to the cord to keep the earbuds from coming out of your ears if the cord gets pulled. I like that it uses AAA batteries because I don’t like charging.

This radio works good for what I need. I work in a big steel building so I don't get great reception. That's not because if this radio though. Performs as good as any other. Headphones are ok. They're cheap ones so you get what you pay for. They sound is good the fit is just a little off so they pull out easily. You do get several sizes of the little ear things (idk what they're called) so you can switch them out. Mine came with 3 different sizes in 2 different thicknesses, so 6 total. I still haven't been able to figure out how to program more than one station at a time. Batteries last about 60 hours for me. Overall, I'm happy with this product for the price.

I didn't have very high expectations on this radio since it is low cost, however, I was pleasantly surprised. The sound is clear, not the highest quality like an expensive sound system but it was good. The reception outdoors is very good as well. I haven't tried it indoors or in my basement yet. The ear buds are not great but is very acceptable. I don't know about battery life as I haven't had to replace them yet. Worth the money!

I’m running everywhere these days and this radio saves me from chugging my iPhone around too. All the functions work as described and the stations are crisp throughout my whole run, elevation or trees don’t matter. I would recommend this simple little radio to anyone who porch sits or goes on a jog, who gardens in their yard alone or needs some quick listening music to go to sleep. The battery life is amazing! You need this if your already thinking about it!!!

Does not work as advertised. The reception is terrible. I live one mile away from a 100,000 watt radio tower. I am on a hill top as well. CLEAR line of sight view. Does this thing pick it up? No! Also - when I do find a station it will receive, the screen shows the frequency lower than the actual frequency the station uses. The instructions are crud. I have tried and tried and tried using the instructions to program in radio stations. The moment I turn it off - they are gone. This was a complete waste of money.

Why three stars? It’s got an internal antenna so you have to be very precise about where you place it to get good reception. I knew that before I bought it and I’m ok with it. But when reception is good the sound quality is fine. It’s got several memory presets and an LCD display. Beyond that, there’s not much else to it. Sometimes simple sells!

Good reception and vol. Got it to listen to baseball while walking the dog. Perfect for that purpose. Only wished it had AM. Got the package deal, not just radio. Ear phones are comfortable. Directions are in large type due to the fact that the manual is the largest size to fit the box. That was a really good idea.
