Supersonic SC-1082 9 Band AM/FM/SW 1-7 Portable Radio, High Sensitivity Receiver, Torch Light, Speaker, USB/SD Card Input, Rechargeable Battery, 360° Antenna, 8-10hr Flashlight, 2hr Radio, AC/DC

My 7 year old wanted his own radio to take when he stays overnight at a friends house. He also wanted something that would play his favorite songs at night-time. This radio fit the bill at a very reasonable price. It is a convenient size for a child - not real huge, but not too small. He takes it with him all over the house, on trips in the car, and to his friend's house whenever he wants to take his music along. Pros: *Small, but with a speaker large enough to have a good sound (for a portable) *The built in rechargeable batteries last a long time on one charge. *You can also put regular batteries in if you can't get to AC to recharge it. (They go in a separate compartment from the internal rechargeable battery.) *The built-in flashlight function was a big hit with my 70 year old son. *The USB player is an added bonus. *FM reception is clear. Not the most sensitive, but good enough. *AM reception is... well... its AM. *SW receiving bands is also an added bonus, but there isn't nearly as much on as there used to be when I was a kid. *The built-in handle is a nice feature that makes it easy for him to grab and go. Cons: *There is no display for the USB MP3 player, so it is difficult to select songs for Playback of USB/MP3. Just an "advance" or "retreat" button. *My son lost the AC/Charging cord within a week. But it is a simple AC cord and NOT a "wall-wart" supply so it will be easy to replace. *The Off/USB/Radio button is a bit stiff and tricky to operate. The Bottom line: Are there better portable radios available? Certainly. But they cost a LOT more. This is a good value with some nice extra features.

Excelente producto, es recargable y la lampara que tiene es muy útil, creo es un equipo completo para emergencias o cuando falla la energía eléctrica.

It's a good little radio, versatile with rechargeable battery, D cell batteries if required or plug in.

Très satisfait. Il y a une prise auxilliaire et une prise écouteur sur le côté droit. La prise écouteur n'alimente que de petits haut-parleurs...celui de la radio(haut-parleur)est très puissant. Piles rechargeables intégrées, prise SD et prise USB, bonne réception radio, prix très bas...que demander de plus. J'écoute ma musique sur clé USB...c'est ce que je recherchais.

Purchased radio to replace the one I use out on the deck. Wanted something inexpensive and sound quality that is respectable. Got it! The Radio reception seems fine and the added bonuses of rechargeable long lasting battery, USB and SD card inputs, Aux input(IPOD, MP3 etc.) and earphone output are icing. I tested the usb and found it to remember where it left off so I can use it to listen to audio books and OTR. It does not have an mp3 readout but I usually just hit play and let it go. It does not have a battery charge indicator but the instructions state 6 - 8 hrs plugged in is sufficient. Not sure what I would use the flashlight for but I guess if I am listening in the dark I can always use it to find my way to the light switch ;-) . Only had it a day but if this radio last a while I will be very happy with this purchase.
