PRUNUS 908 Pocket Radio

I was looking for a small portable radio that would also play music I already own while I am not in my house so I don't have to use up data on my phone. So far, this little radio works great. Sound/Volume: The volume is great. I only go about a quarter to midway on the volume when I am outside working. The sound is crisp – no problems if the radio station is clear or if using your own music. Radio Stations: When I turned on the radio, there were 12 stations that are uploaded based on where I am located and the signal strength. A few I wanted were not pre-loaded, so I just manually entered them. I recommend finding a list of your zip code’s radio stations and having them handy. Micro SD Card/USB Use: I purchased a 64G micro sd card along with the radio. It worked fine, but I decided that I wanted to split up the music by playlists or genre instead of playing everything. I ended up purchasing a set of 10 - 32G USB flash drives with a case. For me, the USB drives ended up being a better price than purchasing that many Micro SD Cards. You can just play them as they are loaded on your card/drive, enter the file number. You can also set it to continually repeat. Formatting of Music/SD Card: This is important – They clearly state that the Micro SD Card or USB flash drive will need to be formatted to FAT32 Format before use. I ended up having to download the format as it was not an option listed on my laptop. It only took a few minutes to find this on the internet and download it for use. Also, most of my music was not in the MP3 format and I ended up downloading an app to do this. Once I found one I liked that was also free, I was able to save the music I wanted in the new format without changing the original files. Overall, I highly recommend this product. It is small enough that I can put it in either my shirt or pants pocket when carrying it to where I am working. It also fits nicely in my purse or glove box when carrying it anywhere else. It works as advertised and I am very happy with my purchase so far.

I use this portable radio to listen to music while I shower. I've had it for over a year and it still works great, despite the humid environment! I don't have it inside my shower; I have it on a wall shelf just outside my shower curtain. I didn't think it would work as well or as long as it has been, but I'm pleasantly surprised. It gets great reception, it's easy to control the volume and change radio stations, it's small enough but not flimsy, and the charge lasts a long time. I turn on my music every time I shower - every day for about 30-40 minutes and usually re-charge it every 4 weeks, which takes about 2-3 hours to reach full charge. I strongly recommend if you like listening to the radio while in the shower!

Am doesn't come in very well be fm is very good just right for my hearing only

This was a very nice surprise. I was looking for a small radio for my disabled daughter to take to adult daycare when her old one stopped working. I needed something that was very easy to see as well as use. I decided on this radio after reading the description. The auto program feature makes it easy to set stations. It’s very lightweight with great reception and clear vibrant sound. Very nice small radio at a very good price. We chose red and are more than happy with this purchase.

This is a very nice little radio. The 4 features that were most important to me were: 1) microSD card support 2) a telescoping antenna for better reception 3) presets for stations 4) USB recharging. The system allows a 64GB microSD card and switching between directories on the card. This is more music capacity than most will need. Most of the buttons in the control section are station presets in radio modes and navigation controls in in other modes. Radios this size do not produce high fidelity, but the sound is good and satisfying. I have not tried using it as a music source for a HiFi system. Possibly it would supply a HiFi signal to such a system. The little key-like piece that come attached to the lanyard is a nice addition that allows the radio to stand vertically on a flat surface. I have 2 suggestions for a future design upgrade: 1) a shuffle setting for recorded music and 2) a bass boost circuit. I notice some reviewers complain about that the card slot stops working over time. I would guess they are swapping cards too frequently. With a 64GB memory card and the ability to have multiple directories one should be able to load plenty of music in very access able ways: 1 album or playlist per directory?

UPDATE -the negative// after a few months the radio would no longer "lock on" to my NPR station - in seven out of 10 tries Reason: the local NPR station is "HD-Radio" many digital radios have a problem with that (and don't blame the Chinese, the chip responsible for this malfunction is made in TX) With that, much to my regret, I discarded the radio - because the NPR/ BBC News is what I want ============ this is from an old fogey, who wants a simple "transistor travel radio" not an all-in-one "wool-milk-sow", requiring to memorize dozens of software steps. OK the radio is the dreaded "digital", BUT thankfully the volume control is a turn-wheel - think of the 1950's AND, no alarm clock, meaning it does not require 10 steps to set the time, the alarm time all you do when setting up for the first time (or when traveling to a new location) is, PRESS ONE BUTTON wait one minute and all "reception worthy stations" are stored next you press the two "left/ right" buttons and toggle through those now stored stations, one by one that is it, no "software decision trees". no short presses, no long presses, no double presses "love it" the LED (not LCD) display stays on all the time, nice, you know the frequency of the station you are listening to AND the LEDs are bright enough, even in well lit room - "love it" the "LED lamp/ flashlight" is bright to enough to find your way at night in your hotel room "love it" no batteries to buy, simply charge the radio from a USB power supply, or your PC -- charge seems to hold for weeks and lastly, the radio is really good on FM // AM is only so so --- PS - now that I have had it for a few months: Added comment: the radio will take two kinds of storage devices (one protruding UBS stick and also a "mini- hidden" chipein a different slot) -GOOD Also, I found out only by accident: you can FAST-FORWARD within a track: very rare feature, very useful feature

I live, as I imagine most do, in a noisy neighborhood. Loudly barking dogs All. Day. And. Night. Long. Louder and louder aftermarket modded vehicles. Boom cars. Sirens... And now we know noise threatens heart health and can even take years off your lifespan. The only way I've found to take the edge off unwanted loud neighborhood noise is with special white noise tracks designed to mask outside noise. But it's tough to move large stereo systems all around my home depending on the room I'm working in. This little machine works terrific for three big reasons: 1) You don't have to keep pressing buttons to turn the machine on. So as soon as you need to play a track, you just slide the on/off rocker switch to ON and the track begins. No more press-press-press 'til your fingers hurt, waiting for the machine to activate. 2) Despite the machine's tiny size, its volume can get so loud I ALWAYS have to turn it down because I don't want to disturb others in/near my home. I had a tiny MP3 player I was using for the same purpose, but its volume was ... toylike. Not so with this machine! 3) This machine plays, in addition to AM/FM radio, music/tracks via micro-SD card. Even better, if you leave the SD card in the slot and turn the machine off, the next time you turn the machine back on, it'll start playing FROM THE SD CARD IMMEDIATELY. I used to have to fiddle around with modes, settings, and buttons before just to get back to a single track I wanted. No more with this machine. Set-it-and-forget-it. Bonus: there's a "repeat" function/button. You can repeat one song or one folder. Another bonus: no garish, sleep-disrupting on/off noises OR green/blue/yellow lights. Now some caveats. First, the instruction manual warns that SD cards must be formatted as FAT32 and the files must be only MP3. So no FLAC, WAV, AAC... formats. This is a big limitation, as discussed next. Minus one star. Second, I couldn't get the USB port to work. I formatted an 8GB memory stick to FAT32 then placed a single 86MB MP3 track onto the thumb drive. The machine wouldn't recognize the memory stick no matter what I did. Minus another star. I use mostly SD cards b/c they're smaller and you can just leave them in machines without having to dismount before ejecting... But it would have been nice to have the USB function in case of emergencies. Lastly, I couldn't get music to play THROUGH this machine when connected to my Iphone via 3.5mm audio cable. As with the USB connection, nothing happened. :( If all you need is an SD card player for higher frequency noise (this machine gives no bass at all), then this is a worthwhile option at low cost. But if quality of sound (music...), formatting options (USB...) and audio codec options matter to you, look elsewhere. Also, if you need reliable, out-of-the-box USB functioning, look elsewhere. I may buy another brand to see if I can get the USB functionality this machine is supposed to have but at least for me doesn't AND the instant on, no button long-press functions this machine does have. I know this was a long review, but dealing with ever-increasing noise can be exhausting. Since legal jurisdictions won't take noise problems seriously, consumers have to find machines to protect ourselves from outside noise infiltrating our homes. Most audio machines on the market, though, aren't designed specifically for this purpose. These little machines, like the one reviewed here, can help. Tip: pair this device with a larger audio player that has excellent bass. Run the high frequency white noise through this small player (or a similar one) and the low frequency white noise track through the large, bass-heavy audio player to counter most outside noise.

fue un regalo y me encanto, funciona muy bien

I love the overall look of the sleek ultramarine blue and the fact that it's ready to use out of the box(just had to put the BL-5C rechargeable Li-ion battery in). It's light, portable and small enough to fit in the palm of my hands and even slip into my pants pocket. The 3W speaker definitely packs a punch; it's incredibly loud and crystal clear, it's perfect for entertaining. I would recommend using the antenna(over 1 ft. long) in more of an open space or closer to a window to pick up more AM(58)/FM(28) channels during auto-scanning. The battery itself is spectacular(had it at low to medium volume), it kept going to the point that i lost track of how many hours i got out of it before it completely powered off(display flashes before it shuts down & according to the user manual charging time is 3-5 hours). I personally wish the indicator light would either come off or change colour so i know with certainty that it's fully charged but on a positive note you can still listen to music while it's charging. It's extremely versatile; it comes equipped with a handy LED flashlight, a convenient gray carrying strap with a silver key on the end that's a stand for the radio, it gives you the freedom to play your own personalize music(plays only mp3 files, i tried wma, m4a, flac, aac & ogg and wasn't successful) from either a USB flash drive/Micro SD(can use a USB 2.0 card reader instead of a SD card adapter if you like), it can even charge or play my music from my Hipstreet mp3 player and my favourite of all is being able to use my 8-LED USB light(perfect to see the buttons at night) and flexible mini laptop light(pretty sure you can add a mini USB fan to the list). Lastly if you're thinking about using a Bluetooth adapter it's not going to work, i tried and failed with 3 different adapters. Functions: 1) The Skip/Previous Button is also the Fast Forward/Rewind button if you keep pressing 2) It automatically detects and plays USB/Micro SD and resumes exactly where you left off with your music. You can even pause and resume with the radio as well. 3) Can choose to loop a specific folder if you have more than one, play all or just repeat a specific song Overall i love it, i think it's pretty close to perfect; it's mobile with an amazing sound quality and most of all it's multipurpose. I would definitely recommend especially when you have an After-sales Service that offers: reply within 24 hours, 30 days no questions asked returns policy and a 1 year warranty.

Tiene estética, el tamaño es parecido a un iPhone, se puede llevar en la bolsa a todos lados, super ligero, en cuanto a sintonía es por canales trae 11, en espacios abiertos sintoniza bien, yo lo quería para tenerlo en mi oficina que está en un primer piso, donde no estoy del lado de la ventana y solo sintoniza en FM 88.9, también trae para AM, funciona la luz LED, me encanta que atrás le insertas el aditamento para que quede parado. Lo que no me gustó es que no pude sintonizarlo de manera manual, solo trae botones para los canales, ya sea que adelantes o retrocedas al canal que ya viene con la estación de radio específica. No es de pilas, se carga solo con puerto USB. La antena no es giratoria, solo se mueve para la izquierda o para la derecha.

exactly what i wanted for my cycling. I put it in the basket of my bike. No headphones so i can pay attention to traffic while listening to music. Highly portable and charge lasts a long time.

Todo muy bien y a tiempo gracias
