V115 Portable Radio, Pocket Radio

Great little radio ,fm and mw is good very sensitive tuning not tried sw yet or sd functions sound is amazing for its size could be usefull for paranormal as it can record sound its packed to the brim with features and uses, spare batteries are cheap i recomend larger capacity ones ive not tested how only it lasts on supplied battery yet as just got mine

I've only been using this for a couple of days, so can't speak for it's longevity, but except for that I must say I am rather impressed! Lovely size factor, good radio reception, FM is good as expected and on AM BBC 5 Live is great on 909KHz. The sound is surprisingly good, it even has a passive radiator! That said, it could be louder, but it does have a line out (as well as line in!) so it could be hooked up to a bigger speaker. Have not used the microphone yet, but I appreciate it adds to the functional aspect of the device. The li-ion battery lasts a very long time, I have been using it a lot these couple of days and it's only half used. Also these batteries are of the old Nokia type (BL-5C), basically you can find replacements very easily and cheaply if you ever need to. I did not expect much of the mp3 player, but very pleasantly surprised with the controls and there's even a visual equalizer, albeit monochrome of course. What a great little gadget, well worth the ~£20!

Overall, this is a great little radio/recorder/mp3 player for the price. Pros: Really nice deep sound for such a little unit. Recargeable and easily replaceable battery. Quite sturdy body, strong aerial, and stand. Recording from unit, and playback quality, is excellent. Can play music and audio books off a micro sd card. Can record radio programs at the press of a button. Cons: Bit fiddly and the buttons feel a bit clicky. You need to put an sd card in before all the buttons will work (thought the radio wasnt working until I tried this) The radio only stores the frequency so you have to remember what radio station it is. However, you can program and store using the buttons so that helps. eg. store radio four on button four. After recording, the unit automatically plays the recording and will repeat endlessly. It could do with a dedicated stop and start button and you should be able to play a recording once and then have it stop, not repeat endlessly. The same happens with the mp3 player - it has 3 repeat modes, but you cannot just play one file and then stop.....it just repeats. It is also hard to find the tracks and files, so it is best to not have too many audio books or files on the sd card at any one time unless you just want to continuous play through all your tracks. On my unit the external microphone doesnt work, but not too much of a problem as the inbuilt microphone is perfectly adequate for my needs. Overall, if you are just wanting a radio, there are better ones out there. But if you would like the added extras of a recorder to record radio programs and your own voice recordings, and you like the idea of an inbuilt mp3 function, then for the price this is a great. The sound is the best I've heard on such a small unit and the rechargeable battery is a great bonus. .

This Radio is Fantastic. I had been looking for a quality compact radio and had been looking at a few makes. I wanted one with SW bands and was expecting to pay around 50 pounds for something with some degree of quality. I noticed that the Tivdio V115 met the specification and had 5 star reviews from all who left feedback, so I researched it further on YouTube. I am pleased to say that I am not disappointed, it is a sweet little radio with AM FM and numerous SW bands. The sound is perfect, quite a surprise for a small radio. All of my friends who have seen and heard it are very impressed. You do not just gat a high quality radio, you get the ability to record and even better, you can use a memory card to play your favourite music. So, if you are looking for a reliable radio, that has great sound, plenty of volume and is portable, look no further. It is ideal for adults or children, it has a rechargeable battery and is well worth the money. I would buy this again without hesitation.

I bought two of these - one for my father, and one for me. We're both licensed amateur radio enthusiasts, and have enjoyed short-wave listening for many years too. We both have other, more expensive receivers, so these were only bought as a bit of fun - toys for grown-up kids, if you will. But we're amazed at just how good this tiny radio is. Reception on medium wave, short-wave and VHF FM is really very good indeed. The sound quality is fantastic for such a small unit, and the volume can be turned way up without any noticeable distortion. The sound recording facility works brilliantly. The unit also works as an extension speaker when plugged into the USB port of a PC, should you choose to enable that. As I type this review, I have the radio next to me and I'm listening to China Radio International like it's a few miles away, and I'm picking up a whole bunch of other shortwave stations as I scan through the frequencies. All my favourite AM and VHF FM stations are received clearly too. Amazing. Now, is this as good as a £100 radio? In some ways, no - of course not. But in other ways, it's actually better. It's small, light, nicely-made, really feature-rich, and it sounds great! For the price, I'm gob-smacked. Highly recommended.

The only thing good about this radio is it's look. I have spent two day's trying to get ONE channel on this , & only one i did get. on FM it has to be my location ? as I spent days looking at its feedback . I will be returning it. I do not use mp3 player etc, so cannot comment on that . I remember when i was young being able to get hundreds of channels included radio luxembourg , etc very clear. NOw i can just about get one on the whole of AM FM & SW.. Rubbish

This is really a great little radio, so portable and the simple recharge with a standard mobile phone lead so no need to buy batteries. Just love the auto digital tuning to finds loads of stations and easy to save them foe recall. Excellent reception and clarity. Also a great price, I highly recommend this super little radio.

This is one of the current generation of DSP (Digital Signal Processing) Radios which uses an IC (Integrated Circuit) to do most of the work. Pros: Surprisingly good sound for such a small radio. A standard (Nokia phone) Rechargeable battery supplied with reasonable life (at least 6-8 hours) Recording facility onto SD card (not supplied) via .mp3 format. Recordings can be fairly easy accessed on PC or Android by plugging in via the mini USB connection. Can recharge battery via standard phone charger or via PC. FM Stereo reception on headphones. You can make a direct frequency input via the keyboard. Large easily read display, though disappointingly no backlight. Can make audio recordings via internal mic ( or stereo via the line input). A superb device for the paranoid. Quite nicely packaged Aesthetically quite pleasing. A small object of desire. Cons: Not especially sensitive. The tuning and station-setting is not very intuitive. The memory can only be set up as the manufacturer wants, ie only in frequency order. If you can set up the station memories as you want them it is not clear how to do this in the instructions. Not especially useful on short wave. Poor sensitivity on internal whip antenna. Will overload on external long wire. I don’t know why they bother with SW. Some users have reported a birdie on 648kHz, although I have not detected that on this sample. There is some background processor noise on MW. Headphone performance is not that good on small earphones. It may be improved with quality headphones. Does not have an alarm or clock. It would not have been hard to add this. So, for the money, not bad for a small and highly portable radio for MW and FM possibly as an MP3 player. Not a lot of good for SW. Not very easy to set up and use. They have missed out on potentially a couple of potentially useful features.

Det fungerar jätte bra. Med minneskort kan du lyssna på på nästan oändliga music Med knappar kan välja låtnummer

Bon. Pour commencer la taille de cette radio est vraiment déroutante. Je m'attendais à "petite" mais c'est vraiment minuscule. Et légère. Elle se met dans une poche de jeans. Niveau son c'est correct si comme moi on écoute plutôt France Info que Skyrock. On peut mettre des écouteurs ou un haut parleur (par câble 3.5) ou mettre un lecteur mp3 (par câble 3.5 à 3.5) quoique je ne vois pas trop l'intérêt... Pour ce prix ce n'est carrément pas un JBL. Je ne compte pas acheter une carte TF pour écouter de la musique avec donc je n'ai pas pu tester cette fonctionnalité. La mise en route est super facile et la notice est très lisible. FM semble marcher très bien - 33 stations mémorisés dans un rien de temps mais je n'ai rien trouvé sur AM ou SW (mais bon, j'habite à Pau alors c'est peut-être normale). Pour le AM/SW il y a quelques réglages à faire mais c'est pas sorcier. Le truc-machin qui fait office de support est astucieux car simple. Pour ceux qui veulent mettre une carte TF ça peut jouer des mp3, enregistrer la radio et (semble-t-il) grâce au micro sur le devant enregistrer votre voix. Personnellement je n'ai pas besoin. Pour le TRÈS petit prix vous aurez une TRÈS petite radio qui fonctionne bien et dont la batterie est remplaçable alors je recommande surtout si vous avez besoin d'une radio qui se mettra facilement dans votre poche- pêche, rando, pétanque etc... mais les fonctions AM/SW dépendent sans doute de votre location. Très bon achat.

Tolles Gerät, für den Preis unschlagbar. Der Ton ist überraschend klar und angenehm vom Frequenzbereich her. Auf der Rückseite ist sogar ein kleiner Subwoofer verbaut. Der Akku hält ewig und die Möglichkeit eine SD-Karte zu verwenden ist super um eigene Musik zu hören. Komischerweise ist mir jetzt nach circa 2 Jahren die Antenne erst lose geworden und dann herausgefallen. Die lokalen Sender kann ich aber auch super ohne die Antenne hören. Trotzdem schade drum, habe sie mit Heißkleber wieder befestigt. Wegen des guten Preises gebe ich trotzdem 5 Sterne. Ich nutze das Radio täglich.

Un seul mot FORMIDABLE. Qualité parfaite, son impeccable, et facile à programmer. Suffisant pour mon atelier de bricolage. Et rapport qualité prix excellent.

Es de tamaño pequeña y manejable. El sonido es bastante claro, si la recepción de radio o la grabación que escuchas es buena. Trae manual en varios idiomas, incluido español. La traducción del manual al español es bastante buena e inteligible. Yo he recurrido a descargarla de la WEB de Retekess. La traducción del menú que incluye el firmware no es tan buena como la del manual, es más bien mala. El manual es bastante mejorable. Sus instrucciones son bastante complejas, a veces mezcladas e incompletas. Has de probar y dejarte llevar de la intuición para manejar el aparato. Utilización de la tarjeta TF para grabar o escuchar grabaciones. (Espero que pueda servir de ayuda a aquellos que hayan tenido problemas con el uso de la tarjeta TF.) Compré aparte una tarjeta TF. Tuve problemas para conseguir formatearla y poder comenzar a usarla. Explicaré a qué conclusiones he llegado. 1. Solo he conseguido formatearla y añadir o borrar archivos desde ordenadores con S.O. con BIOS UEFI (Windows 10 y Ubuntu 20.04). Con ordenadores viejos que no disponen de este tipo de BIOS no he conseguido hacerlo (Windows 7 y Ubuntu 12.04). Casi seguro que no es posible hacerlo. 2. El formateo o el trabajo con archivos ha de hacerse con la tarjeta insertada en la radio, no en un adaptador USB (Creo que ha de ser así, aunque no estoy seguro). Rectifico: El formateo inicial tuve que hacerlo con la tarjeta insertada en la radio. Después he comprobado que una vez efectuado el formateo inicial sí que se puede borrar o añadir archivos desde el PC colocando la tarjeta en un adaptador USB. 3. Los pasos para iniciar la comunicación entre el ordenador y la tarjeta TF han de ser estos: Preliminares a.1. La radio ha de estar apagada (Power off) y la tarjeta NO DEBE estar insertada. a.2. La radio NO ha de estar conectada aún al ordenador. Pasos para la conexión b.1. Se enciende el ordenador b.2. Se conecta con la radio mediante el cable USB b.3. En el display de la radio aparece el icono de la batería cargandose. b.4. Se pulsa el botón Power ON y la radio se enciende (FM, AM o lo último que hubiera estado ejecutándose). b.5. Se pulsa brevemente el botón MODE b.6. En el display de la radio aparece un dibujo de un ordenador y un flecha que lo une a una tarjeta TF o la radio (no lo recuerdo exactamente). b.7. Se inserta en la RADIO la tarjeta TF. Una vez hecho esto ya se puede comunicar el ordenador con la tarjeta y se puede formatear, transferir archivos o borrarlos. Dada la mala traducción al español del menú del firmware de la radio recomiendo usar el menú en idioma inglés. Yo lo he hecho así reseteando la radio a la configuración original del fabricante. A pesar de lo dicho me ha gustado y estoy muy contento con él. Nota: Cuando la compré estaba en oferta a 19,78€. Más información: Las emisoras de radio se pueden escanear automáticamente o se pueden introducir manualmente. De esta última forma se pueden seleccionar las emisoras que quieres escuchar y en qué orden aparecen al buscarlas. Igualmente se pueden borrar aquellas que desees. Introducción manual de emisoras: Preliminares: a.1. Debes tener el aparato en modo escucha de radio y en el tipo de onda en la que quieres añadir emisoras. Procedimiento: b.1. Se escribe los dígitos de la frecuencia que quieres añadir sin la coma o el punto que suele aparecer en la misma (Por ejemplo FM: 89,7 MHz -> se escribe: 897). Esperas un segundo o así a que la radio añada el punto que separa la parte entera de la decimal. Lo hace el aparato automáticamente. b.2. Se pulsa el botón "Memo". En ese momento aparece en la pantalla el texto CH:00. Tienes un par de segundos para que añadas el nº de memoria en que quieres que quede registrada y además .... b.3. Se pulsa después la tecla "Play/Pausa" (tecla para confirmar cualquier elección) y queda la emisora almacenada en esa posición. Para borrar cualquier emisora: c.1. Se desplaza uno con las teclas "avanza" o "retrocede" hasta la emisora que quiere borrarse. c.2. Se pulsa la tecla "DEL". c.3. Se confirma que se desea borrar con la tecla "Play/Pausa". Espero que sirva de ayuda a los que se desesperen con el escaneo automático. Por desgracia son muchas las veces que sin querer borramos la configuración de las emisoras por pulsar de forma accidental la tecla "Play/Pausa" de forma prolongada, por lo que el aparato empieza a hacer un escaneo automático de emisoras.
