Review: Great for the price it’s worth, headphones work well for me - Got my packaged delivered to me, opened it up and it looked as good as new to me, no concerns so far. This probably is the most affordable and most alternative and responsive solution to music streaming nowadays if you don’t have a lot to shed on a premium portable radio. It’s pocket sized, the controls located on the side are easy to use, audio is crisp and sound quality is nice, all you gotta do is adjust it to your liking and pick your favorite radio station you listen to and that’s all there is to it! Battery life seems to be good as well, haven’t used it to a point where it gives out yet after it was delivered to me. Power so far has worked exceptionally well as well. Versality when turning the dials on the side of the radio worked so smoothly and quick. Would recommend to anyone who wants to pick up a portable radio who doesn’t have a lot to spend on but wants a good alternative to streaming music on your device. It screams good old fashioned music with a pockable design.
Review: Fantastic little radio! - For an inexpensive little AM/FM radio, this little guy blows me away! I bought this for my sister who has difficulty with anything digital, and I tried it out when I got it. It immediately picked up both AM and FM stations easily and clearly--I live in an area surrounded by hills, and even my Lexus can't pick some of these up! The sound is rich, the volume is enough, the included earphones are comfortable and fit well, the controls are easy to use, and having it battery operated rather than rechargeable is a bonus. I ordered another one to have on hand for myself in case of emergencies. I would highly recommend it especially for those who have difficulty adapting to our digital age.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic little radio!
*by L***A on October 23, 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good small radio with MP3 Mico SD slot for Kitchen
*by P***S on March 14, 2020*

I wanted to get a radio for my kitchen and was looking at small radios. I originally came across the Prunus J-05 model but It takes 3 "C" batteries and I wanted something that wouldn't be so large or heavy. I saw the Prunus J-01 radio and I liked the small size and the MP3 slot for a micro SD card. I purchased one for $16.99 on March 1, 2020 and tried it out. I I find myself carrying it from room to room sometimes when I'm listening to NPR so I won't miss any of the broadcast. It uses a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery (18650) that can be removed and replaced. You charge the battery via a USB cord that comes with the radio. I didn't have high expectations for sound quality, but I think the sound it a bit better than I expected from a small radio. It tunes in the local radio stations I listen to. I tried the SW band and really couldn't tune anything in, but I'm not into SW anyway. I Love the MP3 slot (can play MP2 or WMA files) . I purchased a Micro SD Card and it works well. I really like the portability of the radio and that I can also listen to MP3 files. The radio is easy to use. You tune in a station by using the radio dial, which all of us seniors are familiar with. I liked the radio and decided to get one for my daughter I went to purchase another one on March the 9th. I was kind of surprised to see the price went from $16.99 to $17.99 but I decided to purchase it. Overall I am pleased with this radio and would recommend it for all of the above reasons in this review.
