J-199 Large Vintage Radio Bluetooth, AM FM Radio Shortwave

It was just what my mother needed. Beautiful look and sound. Easy to use.

Muy buen acabado , muy buen sonido y me encantó su estilo retro

We love it! It matches our 1930's oak desk like it was made for it. The speaker itself isn't terrible by any means, but not top tier either. It seems to lack a bit of the bass end. But it's not bad. However, it's the absolute aesthetic I was looking for, and more! It connects promptly. It's reliable on batteries or when pluggen in. It's sturdy(hard plastic). But looks like oak. Good looking radio/Bluetooth speaker. The knobs are tight and attractive. The grill is actually fabric. The buttons work. The radio works, even analog. The antenna is tight. We haven't used the SD slots yet, so I can't comment on that aspect. In conclusion, it's not a toy. It has weight to it, and rubber feet to keep it planted. It took a couple of weeks to arrive, but was factory well-packed and arrived in mint condition. Worth every penny imho.

Radio Prunus J-199. Buena calidad de sonido. Tamaño entre mediano y grande, por su estilo en diagonal (base ancha y altura corta), se nota más impresionante en las fotos de internet que en vivo. También el diseño es muy impactante en las imágenes que en las páginas Web ya al tenerlo físicamente, no llama tanto la atención. Se ve común. No hay que esperar graves profundos, ya que tengo otros radios de menor precio que lo igualan e incluso lo superan. Lo que si recomiendo es el volumen alto (sin distorsión) y la sintonización excelente en radio FM. Finalmente sugiero que tenga un precio un poco más accesible, por tanta competencia de otras marcas que, con menos dinero ofrecen mejor acústica en el sonido.

This little guy is a lot of fun for this old fart. It's basically a tabletop AM/FM radio, but it has a nice retro look, with faux woodgrain finish and actual dials to tune to a station, adjust the volume and turn it off. The sound is good for FM radio, but not so great for the bluetooth or USB connector. There are no tone controls. Still, this is not a deal breaker for me. The extras are nice, but not necessary to us. The sound is less good when connecting a phone via Bluetooth to play music. You can plug in a thumb drive full of MP3s to play, but there's no real UI to navigate or select the files. For me, that's OK, this is not that kind of experience. I REALLY like the battery, which works well. Sometimes when cooking we need to plug in a rice cooker or something; it's really handy to be able to unplug the radio and still use it for a while. Very nice, very simple. I had to laugh when we unpacked this at Christmas; my Gen-Z daughter was like 'how do you turn it off?' and I told her 'just turn the volume all the way down.' When it clicked off she had this look of amazement on her face, like she'd just started up a Model T or something! Hilarious, and fun. Highly recommended.
