Vondior AM/FM Battery Operated Portable Pocket Radio - Best Reception and Longest Lasting. AM FM Compact Transistor Radios Player Operated by 2 AA Battery, Mono Headphone Socket, by Vondior (Silver)

Good for emergencies.

My granddaughter age 7 did not know a transition radio was …😳So I brought her this ease to use good battery life radio functionality clear ..so now she has a piece of history 🤣

Definitely well worth the price. Flawless performance over the 1st 6 months of use. My mother is 94 years old, wheel chair bound, very hard of hearing, and essentially blind from macular degeneration. She lives in an assisted living facility where multiple times a day she will wheel herself outside to a shady courtyard - after breakfast, lunch, and dinner - and have a cigarette. Yes - 94 and still smoking! Her lament is that in the post Covid world the assisted living facility has told her that the courtyard is the only place on the facility grounds that she may go for a cigarettte - which also happens to be very isolated and lonely. She misses the occasional interaction with friendly passers-by, the shadowy sights and sounds of cars coming and going and in general anything in her environment to break the quiet boredom of isolation.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.

I work well with electronics and I have worked with all kinds my entire life so I feel very confident to say that there was no damage to the radio itself however when initially opened and put batteries inside of, the on light would turn on when switched to the on position but the radio itself would not make any noise or leave any signal to show that it's working other than that light. without having to open it up I can only say that it probably was the speaker getting damaged through shipping or something else that caused an issue or the malfunction that occurred. I will say though for the price you get what you get and is cheap so if it got damaged it happens. and to give it some good reviews I will say that it is a comfortable sized radio the controls are in it wonderful positioning for easy use and it is a very well designed aesthetically and usability wise. if the radio were to be working I would give it 5 out of 5 stars no questions asked however since I do not have a working radio I cannot review whether the actual signal is good enough or if it's a quality sounding radio or if they even picks up the signal well and maybe it's just a fuzzy. but anything that doesn't have to do with the signal or sound which I cannot comment on I will say is designed very well to give the benefit of a doubt.

Cute. Works well for a tiny radio.

Pros: Cute, Portable, CheapCons: Poor Station Tuning, Lots of Static, Poor Volume ControlIt's a cute little radio, but it has several quirks. It's hard to dial in a station accurately and when you adjust the volume or turn the radio off, you are likely to lose the station you had. The slightest touch will make you lose your station. The volume jumps from off to blaring loud with the slightest adjustment. There is no in between and you can't get station reception until the volume is blaring. All stations, even strong ones, have a level of static and high pitched tone in the background. If you only want to listen to one or two of the strongest stations in your area and don't mind retuning the station every time you turn the radio on, you might be okay with this. If you want to flip through stations or get good reception on multiple stations, this isn't it. Also, the antenna gets stuck in the extended position and doesn't want to fold down.

My third one in 15 years!! Other two got damaged!! One by a thunderstorm camping and one got dropped off the fishing boat!! Hope the fish enjoy oldies rock n roll!! Lololol

It is a handy tool when you do not want to use your cell phone.
