This little thing does it all: Bluetooth, microSD, USB, auxiliary, FM. I have mine set up on a shelf, so it gets very good FM reception via the auxiliary cable plugged into the AUX port (how you get reception is using the cable as an antenna). The sound is very warm and of an acceptable quality, I was very surprised at the sound quality from this thing. I did not test out the microSD or USB functionality, but I expect them to work similar to other devices like this one. I would overall recommend this speaker. It looks great on a shelf, I have mine by my turntable/music area. If you are in the market for a more kitschy/retro looking Bluetooth speaker, this is a great choice.

Awesome little radio. Has the speaker in the back, but really delivers a great sound for a small package. Now i have to buy my son 1 of these. The weird thing, and maybe it's just me...i used the3.5mm cable as an attenna, and scanned for radio stations 3 times. It works...but it seems to pull up christian radio stations only. Like, 20 of them...lol. As, i did not get 1 pop, rock, alternative, or metal station...and they are all easily pulled in on other radios i own.
Bluetooth and my music on a USB drive perform flawlessly.

I LOVE this little speaker. The audio is perfect, and can be turned up very high if you desire. It gives a very nice authentic radio sound effect as well, there's some noise to it and i adore that little detail very much. Its easy to connect with blue tooth, and the volume knob feels very nice as well! The faux leather strap to hold it with is very soft as well, and overall its very nice to carry with me from room to room. I used it while cleaning, and I could hear the music I was playing through it very well despite all the noise and wasn't even on 100% on the raid and my device! Overall I have to give this product a 10/10. It is one of my favorite items ever! (also the box it came in was very cute! also comes with a cable)

Pros:
A huge plus is the rotary volume control. You can turn the volume down before turning it on for an absolutely silent power on and pairing sequence. I can't you how many of these little speakers I DONT use because they announce to the world that it's being powered up, etc..
Sound is great for a speaker this small.
Small form factor. See coffee cup and pen for reference.
Retro design - great detail.
Speaker in front, passive radiator in the back. When placed a few inches from a wall, it reflects the sound off the wall, making it sound bigger than it is.
TF memory card slot for playing files directly without needing a phone.
Aux input.
Cons:
Micro usb charging instead of usb C.
No protective grill over passive radiator.
Would I recommend? Definitely.

So many features in a tiny package. The FM timer requires you have the AUX cable connected to act as the antenna, but it works very well. It has a TF card to play audio files. You can also use a USB thumb drive or an external player video auxiliary cable. Bluetooth works well. It even has a built-in microphone which is usable but a bit tinny. Bluetooth works great however, for playing music. I use the built-in battery for over four hours, playing off of a memory card. This would make a great present.

This is one of the most adorable stocking stuffers I've ever seen! As you can see, it's a small bluetooth speaker and FM radio in the style of a 1930s-era radio. I have to admit that I was skeptical that it could do much of anything, but believe it or not, it not only plays bluetooth but FM radio. For FM, you just have to plug in the aux cable and use the radio's auto-scanning feature.
The audio is fine for something of this type and price point, consistent with something you'd buy at a Five Below or the dollar aisle at a major retailer that has a bullseye as a logo. I mean, c'mon, it's a plastic ornamental radio. Are you really expecting JBL/Bose-level of audio? Besides, it's meant to be portable. So, for a day at the beach, a picnic or even an evening on the patio with friends, it's perfectly fine.
The only issue I can see people having with this is the controls, which need some getting used to. There's a system of turning the radio on and switching modes that you have to commit to memory. However, given how small it is and how the buttons are laid out to simulate an old fashioned radio, it's forgivable that there had to be a way to map the controls but keep the design streamlined, as there were only so many that could be placed on this. So, five stars.

This little speaker is approximately 2 tall and maybe 3-3.5 wide. When I first took it out of the box, I sort of laughed as it looked amazing yet also appeared as though it would sound horrible. Well, I was absolutely wrong as this little guy has a tiny sub in the back that actually delivers the mids and lows needed to sound like a real portable speaker! Then I noticed the little things like the fake leather print but that lighted dial was one of those BIG things as it's just beautiful. The knob adjusts volume and has an excellent range, doesn't crackle when using it and the buttons below are literally as pictured....very simple device to use and pair with my phone. The battery so far has lasted several hours with ease and the ports in the back make me want to really see what this little powerhouse can do but for now, it gets paired to my phone in the workshop and is my main speaker now! It's just too cool and sounds too good not to use. Now, is it Bose, B&O or even JBL? No BUT, it's blown every speaker I own away with with it's form factor, especially when compared to expensive portable Bluetooth speakers as this gets LOUD. Price to happiness ratio for me is a huge win!!!

This little blue bluetooth speaker sounds really great! I love the vintage old-time radio look. It comes pre-charged so you can use it right out of the box. I like that you can use your phone to check the battery status as not all mini speakers offer that function! The sound is clear and strong. The gold dial adjusts the volume or you can use your phone. It has TF card slot so you can download and play MP3 files but the memory card is not included. It may be small but has quality sound!

This is a very cute mini speaker and the best thing about it is it doesn't just work with Bluetooth. In fact the main reason I got it is because it has an auxiliary port for wired audio. I have an old iPod which is loaded with a ton of music and still works fine but doesn't have Bluetooth so won't work with the Bluetooth only speakers. This speaker - which comes with an audio cord - has literally given my old iPod a new life. The sound quality is quite adequate with good clarity especially on vocals. The backside of the speaker also has a passive diaphragm which I've not seen on other similar speakers. Battery life seems good - out of the box it played for 6 hours before announcing the battery needs to be recharged so should last longer when fully charged.
The only reason I'm not giving it a 5 is because of the somewhat sloppy workmanship - there are some inexplicable scratches on the backside that make the finish look cheap. Otherwise, for the price it's very good value as long as it continues to work.

This Bluetooth speaker connected easily and played music clearly and with style. The speaker is so small that it's cute and the vintage style really adds a unique experience.
The FM feature turned on and searched but it was static for me since I must not live close enough to whatever it was trying to connect to. Not sure if it is designed to work, but I won't need that feature.
The versatility of music inputs is amazing for this little guy. Slots for TF, USB, Aux, in addition to the Bluetooth which most likely is all I would use it for. Good price, can't go wrong here!

I was surprised how small it is, I guess I was expecting something more the size of a red brick. This thing is more like the size of a really thick deck of playing cards.
The style is retro and I like it. All of the controls are functional too which is pretty cool - 3 buttons along the bottom translate to Backtrack - Play/Pause/Power - Advancetrack. The old analog tuning dial I was pleasantly surprised turned out to be a manual volume control (manual meaning independent from the Bluetooth volume setting).
I was particularly impressed that at this price point it still included an analog stereo line-in port, a USB port and a microsd reader. According to the instructions, the latter two will allow standalone music playback for files on a thumb drive or sd card. I did not try this feature but can imagine the usefulness in situations where say you want elevator music or white noise in a small area and don’t want to have your phone or computer tied up streaming it.
If there is any weak point it is the volume. It really does not get loud. That said, I don’t see that as its intended function - it is a super small personal speaker, meant for an individual or a small group who are relatively close together. It should be perfectly sufficient for personal use at an office desk, a guest table, or in a quiet entryway. If you’re looking to fill a room with music though you should definitely look for something a little bigger.

This speaker is just adorable! It is smaller than I thought, which is why I added a photo with an orange, so you can have a reference. But don't let this stop you from buying this little cutie. It is small, but mighty. I had it charged and synced in no time. Works very well. This radio speaker is made of quality materials - it does not feel toy-like at all - it's a grown up device with so much detail! I love that this brings vintage and modern together. It will sit on one of my built in shelves, no one will even know it's modern technology.

While this is certainly not a high end speaker, for under $20 it's very impressive! Sitting on a shelf, it looks absolutely adorable. It's overall very lightweight and you can see the rose gold is plastic, but only if you're inspecting it close up. Bluetooth connection with my phone was quick and easy. I compared it with my higher quality, metal mini speaker and the sound holds its own in a small space. The sound is not quite as deep, a bit more tinny sounding, but at a lower volume, sounds decent. This is not going to fill a room, but would be an excellent desktop speaker. Fun to have on hand, and would be a perfect little stocking stuffer.
