Retekess V111 Portable Radio,FM AM Shortwave Battery Radio,with DSP,3.5mm Earphone Jack,Sleep Timer,60 Preset Stations,Excellent Reception,for Walking,Travelling

I bought this for my mother as she wanted a small radio to use around the house. She is thrilled with it! As far as she is concerned, the sound is good for a radio of that size, as is the reception. The radio also has a clock, sleep timer and a way in which to set your favourite radio stations. These features I can't review as she doesn't use them. The only point to remember is when turning it on, to hold down the "On" button for a second or two as if not, the sleep timer will automatically set for the available maximum 90 minutes (timer can be adjusted), but it's not a problem and an instruction booklet is included in the box. A good little radio and great value for money.

I recently and immediately returned the XHDATA D-808 I bought from Amazon because it didn't receive any stations on short wave, airband and lw as detailed. I got this radio as a test to see if any shortwave stations could be picked up. Firstly.... This is a cheap radio and you get what you pay for. LW....you can just hear radio 4 with a lot of hiss... Nothing else. MW.... Quite good at night....continental stations easily heard. FM.... Not stereo through headphones...picks up weak stations but, powerful signals bleed through. SW... It does pick up stations....scan is quite good and the frequency listed is correct....lot of hiss as there is no filter. Picked up a Australian station broadcasting to Africa in Hindi... And just managed to hear the oceanic broadcast of Radio new Zealand although all I could hear, through the hiss, was the bird Id sound. So overall a nice wee test piece. It's not a swl DX radio, but it was for me, a nice way of checking that short wave is still around. As a FM and mw radio....its OK. Good value for the money?....yes.

Nice compact radio, looks ok, sounds ok, it's not amazing but ok, not terrible, has a clock and an alarm setting, also memories but the memory function is quite fussy so didn't get any real use. The biggest issue with this radio is power management, the rear of the radio suggests 250mA, using it with two new AA alkaline cells shows the radio struggling to function, it's backlight was dimming and within an hour those too were unable to power the radio. Analysing the batteries showed they had hardly been drained at all, just the radio circuits needed more than was possible with these batteries. I also tried a 2000mAh phone charger rated at 500mA, via the 5v dc usb socket but this only lasted 20 minutes before the radio stopped functioning. In my view this radio is barely usable.

This is an excellent radio for it's size and does everything that I wanted it for. It can use rechargeable batteries and comes with English instructions, Reception is quite good and the sound ok for a small speaker. I initially ordered a Tecsun which I sent back due to faults. I think that the Tivdio is ten times better for a third of the cost. Very pleased so far.

Works okay, to use in your pocket with earphones isn't the best as I found without the aerial extended it really struggled for signal and this is mostly why I got it. I'll have to get another and use this as a spare but it is a good radio, just not what I needed.

The sound is really good for a little thing I like very much it good price for a good product.

Wouldn't buy this if you intend to run it on batteries. The batteries in the analog FM radio, that I bought this to replace used to last 2 months. They don't last a week in this. Now binned this and bought a £6 FM radio from Tesco, sounds better tunes better. Battery use was so bad, had to keep it plugged in. Just turning on/off required multiple button presses with random results. Had to keep rescanning.

I'm SO HAPPY! I've found a little radio that receives Radio 4 and it didn't cost me a bomb. In fact I got it at a discount! I tried out so many radios, including the posh names, but they were so hard to tune in and then the signal kept moving. This little character is happy wherever I put it. It's sound is really quite acceptable for its size, and being so small I can take it around with me and use the alarm for more than waking me up in the morning. This is possibly one of the best purchases I have made for years!

La radiolina in questione è una HanRongDa HRD-CS-106, con sintonia digitale PLL e AFC, dunque eccellente al contrario della maggior parte dei prodotti simili in commercio che sfruttano un chip DSP. La differenza si nota subito, perché cercando manualmente le stazioni, tramite i pulsanti tune +/- non c'è il classico attimo di silenzio fastidioso tra un'emittente e l'altra, insomma, niente effetto "ciuf ciuf". L'alimentazione avviene tramite due normalissime batterie AA, e l'autonomia è notevole. E' presente un ingresso micro usb per il funzionamento tramite un normale caricabatteria da smartphone, inserendo due stillo AA ricaricabili però non c'è la funzione per ricaricarle direttamente dentro la radiolina. Il volume rimane senza distorsioni anche a volume massimo, chiaramente mancano i bassi viste le dimensioni dello speaker, ma la tonalità è perfetta in ogni caso per una radiolina che non vuole essere un impianto hi-fi. Le plastiche sono di ottima qualità e assemblate a dovere. La ricezione è sopra la media in FM e in onde corte, solo diacreta in onde medie. Presente la funzione sveglia e sleep. Il display è retroilluminato di un bel bianco ghiaccio. Insomma, un'ottima radio ad un prezzo irrisorio. Consigliata!

Amateur de petites radios portables, j'ai acheté ce produit tout d'abord pour le design et les commentaires, sans prendre trop de risque pour ce petit prix très étonnant. Et à la réception relativement rapide, qu'elle surprise ! Aussi jolie que que sur les photos et puis ensuite le test : Facile d'utilisation, réception plus qu'excellente !! (et je suis difficile) Garde la réception malgré mouvements (très bon), Bouton On Off pratique, fonction réveil ou alarme, facile et très pratique, c'est ce que je rechercher, des petites alertes au moment de la journée tout en écoutant ma radio. Parait solide et de bonne qualité. j'ai dépenser plus cher pour beaucoup moins bien. Après utilisation, juste un petit point faible ; le son très aigus

Tiene un buen sonido y sintoniza bien las emisoras, calidad precio esta bien, para personas de mas de 80 años el manejo es un poco complicado.

Für den Preis mag man nur die positiven Punkte herausstreichen: Der Empfang von UKW ist wirklich spitze. (Man kann davon ausgehen, daß UKW nicht abgeschaltet werden wird, egal was seit 10 Jahren geredet wird. Der terrestrische Digitalfunk ist praktisch noch immer tot und wird es auch wohl bleiben.) Der Kurzwellenfunk beim Tivdio V-111 ist natürlich in der Wohnung nicht überragend, aber draußen auch sehr gut. Sogar am Tage habe ich (Norddeutschland) bei einem kurzen Versuch auf dem Balkon englische, amerikanische, rumänische und chinesichse Sender in guter Qualität empfangen können. Beide Bereiche, UKW und KW, können in der Empfangsleistung und Stabilität mit wesentlich teureren Geräten Schritt halten. Mit dem Kopfhörer ist der Ton besser und lauter. In der Anleitung wie auch auf dieser Webseite wird "Langwelle" angegeben. Die Langwelle ist in die Mittelwellen-Taste integriert. In Deutschland gibt es seit Jahren keine Lang- und Mittwelwellensender mehr. Für den Notfall ist UKW sehr gut geeignet, der Empfang ist bestens. Die beiden Mignon-Batterien (AA) haben eine sehr gute und ausdauernde Leistung. Auch Akkus (1.2 V) können eingesetzt werden. Für einen Netzteil-Anschluß hätte man besser eine übliche DC-Buchse gewählt. Mit dem USB-Anschluß kann ich nichts anfangen, außerdem weiß man nicht, ob die interne Stromversorgung dann abgeschaltet wird. Aber das ist alles Nebensache. Eine gute Anschaffung für einen Stromausfall.
