My old one I strap to my arm looses signal when I move around.** A: Hi Hazel - I think it's OK, I get good reception on it, but if you have it strapped to your arm it will introduce signal deflection. You are best twisting it to a position whereupon it remains good strength and let it be static. By strapping to your arm you are inviting problems. Hope this helps. **Q: Can you skip through frequencies?** A: Not really But not sure what ‘skip’ means. You simply turn one of the controls to advance or go back ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value and quality *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 3 July 2026* Impressed with the sound, exceeded my expectations ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I've changed my review from 4 to 5 stars! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 3 September 2025* December 2025 update:As I promised, here is my update having now used this radio out in the hills whilst wild camping:-1. The reception was excellent. Far better than I'm the house when I first tried it.2. Sound quality is good. It's not tiring to listen to like really tinny, cheap transistor radios of old were. It's got some detectable bass as well. Not thumping of course, buts it's registering where bass would be in a track and projecting it.3. It's so light and compact to carry that taking it with me for the night was a no brainer. It's robust feeling as well for what is essentially and all plastic item. (Apart from the aerial of course).I like this radio that much that I'm going to have to upgrade my review from four to five stars. It's the quality Vs the ridiculously low price.Any questions you have about the radio I'm happy to answer if I can.Cheers.Early impressions are that the sound quality is very good.Clear, not too tinny a sound.Finding stations is a little fiddly as the adjustment wheel hardly needs any movement for some FM stations. AM signal is good as well.I find it's a little hit and miss indoors with the reception and a slight movement in the radio position can lose signal.I've yet to try it when out camping in the hills which is the main reason I got it. I like that I can plug in some wired earbuds as well. I do like to use wired earbuds for listening when seated or kicked back relaxing.It's just about the right size. Any larger and it wouldn't really be suitable for packing light.I'm impressed so far and for a tenner it's unbelievable really. I bought one I their DAB radios for the kitchen as well and that's also pretty good. I've had Grunding, Sony and Roberts portable radios costing much more and this is pretty good in comparison. (Not quite as good, but not a millions miles away). Where the likes of other more well known brands win out is in the quality of reception and ease of tuning. They pip this radio. But again for a tenner it can't be beaten so far. I can recommend it but I will come back with a real world update review over the next few months as I put it through it's paces. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality and value for money *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 19 February 2026* Great little radio, especially given its small size. Good feature that when exactly on a station a green light indicates this. Sound is pretty good too. All together a great purchase. ## Frequently Bought Together - PRUNUS J-166 Portable Radio Battery Operated, AM FM Radios Pocket, Small Radio Transistor with Tuning Light, Back Clip, Excellent Reception for Outdoor & Indoor & Emergencies - Duracell Plus AA Batteries (12 Pack) - Alkaline 1.5V - Up To 100% Extra Life - Reliability For Everyday Devices - 0% Plastic Packaging - 10-Year Storage - LR6 MN1500 - Energizer Eveready LED Torch (2 Pack), Super Bright Flashlight for Outdoors, Camping and Gifts (Batteries Included), Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/241782208-j-166-portable-radio-battery-operated-am-fm-radios-pocket](https://www.desertcart.us/products/241782208-j-166-portable-radio-battery-operated-am-fm-radios-pocket) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-13*
