AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers like the sound quality of the radio. They say it picks up a lot of stations, has good volume, and is very loud for its size. The small speaker is impressive, producing much higher quality sound and volume than other models. It's a compact little radio that helps kill the silence when the power is out. It has good station selectivity and volume control at high volume setting. One thing this radio doesn't have is the hiss and static old radios used to have.

It’s a great value. Good sound and reception
Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2024
This is where the transistor radio comes into the picture. She said being all alone in that courtyard might not be so bad if she at least had a radio to listen to. The transistor radio from Vondior fits nicely in her purse. I equipped it with a set of ear buds/ear phones which are always jacked in and just wound around the radio when not in use. I tuned in her favorite talk radio station and then duck taped the tuning dial in place so it wouldn’t get bumped out of tune inadvertently. She never has to extend the antenna (excellent reception) so it stays in its slot along side the radio. All she has to do is unwind the earbuds and insert them in her ears and slowly manipulate the thumb dialed on-off/volume control. There is a crisp click when it’s turned on followed by a smooth increase in volume. Using the earbuds permits a lower volume level and spares the batteries. They have a only been replaced once in the last 6 months because she didn't turn it off completely after using it one day.
I cannot begin to describe the absolute joy and sense of empowerment this has bought my mom. I’ve lost count of the number of times she has thanked me for the effect it has had on her quality of life! I have ordered a 2nd transistor radio identical to the first which we will dial into her favorite Country&Western music station and again duck tape it in place so it stays in tune. She will also keep in her purse along side the 1st one. The 2nd radio will be a different color - and she can then choose to listen to talk radio or music on any given day! She’s so excited about the 2nd one! That such a simple gift can have so incredible an impact on a persons life is itself incredible and humbling.
It’s hard to pick up the radio stations sometimes (usually how these kind of radios are) but I mean it was a good buy .
I used it for a job that we couldn’t bring in phones or have Bluetooth devices in a secured area . So I could still listen to music . Worth it .
