Radio customer care no service
The product is not working and amazon customer care india was extremely unhelpful. The supervisor could not provide the seller info. And disconnected the phone on me.

Solo el color me gustó , no lo esperaba tan pequeño mide como 12 cm súper pequeño y las estaciones de radio no se escuchan bien . Demasiado caro para el producto que ofrecen

Full disclosure: I work in broadcasting (former FM DJ and radio news anchor), so to say the least — I’m a bit of an audio snob.But I’m also a pragmatist. I’m looking at this radio through the eyes of someone who remembers what radios used to cost, and how they used to sound.That said, let’s dive in.I paid $23.00 for this little guy — free shipping — and it arrived within two days.Initial thoughts:– It’s cute as all hell.– It’s plastic (of course) but it has a solid feel to it.– It arrived fully charged — turned right on.– Others have complained about the lack of smoothness in the volume knob; I had the same problem at first, but once you start using it, the knob smoothed itself out, allowing a nice variable volume control.– Bluetooth pairing with my MacBook Air was instantaneous.– The sound is awesome* (*FOR A UNIT THAT COULD ALMOST FIT IN YOUR POCKET, COSTING ONLY $23!!!)Doing a deeper dive:– The two silver knobs (selector and volume) have a decently solid feel, but use them GENTLY, especially the selector knob; each of the 4 positions are quite close to each other, so a light touch is best.– The radio dial. It lights up in a gorgeous period-authentic golden glow, and stays on even during bluetooth mode when you’re not using the radio. It has a tight, solid, and precise feel to it, even if the dial markings are pretty far off (CBS-FM here in New York City — 101.1 — was between 102 and 103). Frankly, this is not a big deal for me; once you figure out the stations on the actual dial position — very few analog dial radios (especially in this price range) have ever been exact.– Use the antenna. Despite being non-directional, it helps tremendously with pulling in the stations.– FM sounded great, but AM was actually the big surprise here. AM talk radio sounds so rich and full, you’d almost swear you were inside the station, listening to a studio monitor.– This little guy also does a fair job of pulling in shortwave. BUT — don’t get too excited — and don’t buy this just for the shortwave. If you’re really serious about shortwave, get an actual shortwave radio. Still — it does a good job of pulling in overseas signals — as long as you’re patient, deliberate, and delicate with the dial.Review:Here’s where my audio snobbishness is tempered by my pragmatism and experience. I remember how much “transistor” radios used to cost back in the day (1977): the equivalent of $70 in today’s dollars, AM only, with an (at best) tinny-sounding little speaker.To get this kind of sound — AM, FM, *and* shortwave (not to mention the unheard-of-in-1977 ability to plug in 2,000 hours of programming with a chip the size of your fingernail, PLUS the ability to connect to basically the entire WORLD via bluetooth) — one would have had to spend upwards of $700 (of today’s dollars) back in 1977.So — for 20 bucks and change — this little guy is a gem!!Final analysis:I’m planning on using this radio primarily for music and news in the kitchen (which is why I needed both AM and FM). This radio delivers a bigger punch, wider range, and richer sound than the “table radios” (with much bigger speakers) of the ’60s-’80s. It’s more than enough to fill my 1920 10×12 (“closed”) kitchen with rich sound.*BONUS*!!!It takes a mini-SD card onto which I’m going to download my old-timey radio shows, and have on my bedside, as I drift off to sleep, back into the 1940s.FINALLY, A WORD OF CAUTION ABOUT THE BATTERY:It’s a sealed battery that can be charged only via USB.***IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND NEVER PLUG THE USB INTO A CHARGER THAT PUMPS MORE THAN FIVE VOLTS OF DIRECT CURRENT INTO A MAXIMUM OF 1000 MILLIAMPS PER HOUR (“DC5V/1000MaH”).***Not all USBs are created equal. Some of the new wall adapters and power strips have built-in USB chargers that push out 5 volts of DC power into as much as 2,400 Milliamps per hour. That kind of power will ultimately fry the radio’s battery; it’s like trying to fill a shot glass with a fire hose. This little guy needs to sip power, not gulp it like your MacBook. Look carefully at the charger’s output before you plug it in — and when in doubt — DON’T.FINAL THOUGHT:Given its tiny size (but big sound), this little guy is perfect for college dorm rooms … on your desk at the office … in the kitchen or (extremely well-ventilated) bathroom (use common sense and don’t give it a steam bath or allow it to get wet).It’s also a great gift idea for housewarmings, Secret Santa grab-bag-style gift exchanges, etc.Enjoy!!!

Es un buen radio 📻, aunque lo esperaba un poco más grande, sintoniza muy bien las estaciones de radio, tiene buen volumen y claridad. Me gustó mucho la luz de fondo que trae la rueda de sintonización, un aspecto muy vintage. La batería tiene buena duración.
