The radio performs well and brings in FM stations from 35 miles away.

Got this radio for my son and I to take fishing and to ball games. He had actually never seen a transistor radio before. I figured we could save some phone battery life and enjoy a throwback to the old days. This radio doesn't disappoint. The radio itself is very compact. It can easily fit in the palm of your hand or in a pocket. The controls are simple as you'd expect. The radio pulls in signals nice and clear and the built-in speaker is surprisingly loud and clear for a small speaker. To top it off, the radio is inexpensive. Definitely recommended.

I am really impressed by this radio. It is simple to operate and has a light that tells you when you've landed on a strong radio frequency. The sound quality is really there, and it can go loud enough to entertain a group of friends while sitting outside by the fire or camping. The radio itself weighs close to nothing and is smaller than a cell phone (really more like the size of a money clip). It easily fits into pockets and can be packed into any nook or cranny of a camping backpack.
I was initially going to write about how I hoped it would come with a battery and be rechargeable, but I've changed my tune. By taking AAA batteries, it is easy to just pack a few extra batteries for a backpacking trip and just swap them out instead of having to rely on any other charging method.
If you are expecting a radio with bluetooth/flashlight/other bells & whistles, this is not the product for you. However, if you are looking for a small radio for when you need it, this 100% fits the bill. I highly recommend for any emergency or camping kit.

Portable small size radio. Sound quality is great and it operates on AAA batteries but comes without the batteries. Nice

This Pronus , AM FM radio is so small, runs on 2 AAA batteries. It was definitely loud enough and it worked just as advertised…

This radio is super small, which is exactly what I needed! I needed something small that I could fit into my emergency grab-and-go kit, and this radio fits perfectly in there. Like, I knew it was going to be small, but holy cow. I uploaded a picture of my old house key on the radio just to give you a good size comparison.
For its size, the sound quality is fine, and it can get surprisingly loud. You won't be listening to music on this enjoyably, but if you're looking to get weather and emergency broadcasts on it, it will do that really well. The dial is very finicky so it's hard to get a solid setting because even the slightest movement of the dial will change the tuning drastically. But, if you're slow and calm with it, you'll be just fine.
Highly recommend for any emergency kit, or if you just need a pocket sized radio with you for any reason.

I confess that I bought this radio primarily out of nostalgia. As a kid, I had a couple of transistor radios that looked like larger versions of this. These radios were my main source for music back then and I have fond memories. On a more practical note, I wanted a dependable small radio for power outages and potential emergencies, and this fits the bill.
Nowadays you just don't see a dial on a radio anymore and I kind of miss it for some reason. Back then, finding a clear radio station could be frustrating--move the dial .001 of a millimeter and you get a loud blast of static that hurts your ears until you find the station .002 mm the other way around. Fortunately, technology has improved since then as well as the broadcast signals in most places. I live in average sized Midwest city and easily found about a dozen clear signals using the dial on this radio. There is also a tuning light that helps identify the best reception. I was pleasantly surprised at the sound quality.
This came with the ubiquitous suede drawstring bag which will help to protect the radio while carrying in a purse or backpack. It is quite lightweight and will stand upright on a flat surface. Battery life seems normal to good depending on use. People who are too young to remember these radios back in the day may be disappointed. This is not a stereo receiver so with headphones you will hear the same sound in both ears. But if you are not using headphones, you won't notice the difference.

I need some information from some redo station, so I need a radio. When I had this one. I like it very much, small, very light easy to carry, so cute. The sound is very clear. Easy to change station. Very lovely device.

This might be my favorite AMZ purchase in a long time! It's about 3x2 and super light. Got this for my short walks - and i like listening to baseball and football games that are only broadcasted on the AM radio stations. Sound quality is really clear. There are not many am/fm radios out there, but this one is perfect and super portable!

This portable lightweight radio is small but mighty! Its fidelity is impressive coming from such a small unit. The station/tuning thumbwheel is sensitive and requires a light touch, but there is no sound bleed from nearby stations, even within very close bandwidths. So, when you tune into a station, the signal is solid and the sound is clear with no interference from other stations. A green signal light on the front of the radio indicates when you are tuned into a station.
The earphone jack is standard, and connection is stable; the sound using headphones is good also.
The length of this mini radio is about 3.5 , the width is 2 , thickness is approximately .5 and when the antenna is extended, the total length is 10.5 . The casing is molded plastic, which seems to be good quality. There is no clip on the radio for attaching it to anything. It is not waterproof.
WHAT'S IN THE BOX: mini radio, fabric drawstring storage bag, manual.
The radio requires two AAA batteries to operate, which are not included. There is no option for USB or other corded charging. The battery compartment has a hinged door, which is not removable. Battery installation and removal is easy. There is a battery ribbon and when it is time to change batteries, pull on the ribbon (which you put under the batteries when inserting them) and the batteries will pop out for easy replacement.
This mini-radio fits easily into pockets, purses, backpacks or waist packs, so it works great for camping and other outdoor activities. I also like that I can use it when the power goes out for an additional source of local news and emergency information if needed.
Overall, this is a good value for price and performance!

This radio is exactly what I wanted. Filling out my to-go emergency bag, I wanted a portable radio that would neither add additional weight nor take up unnecessary space. With just 2 aaa batteries needed (not included} it was just a matter of sliding the power switch to either am or fm mode. The volume and clarity is amazing, as can be seen in the video. Very pleased with this and would highly recommend. It is tiny - but mighty!

This is a great compact radio. This radio may be the size of a credit card but this thing plays. The AM and FM channels come in clear and the speaker output is great for this radio. I always like to keep a radio handy in case of power outages. There is even a headphone jack. Overall, I highly recommend this radio.
