As im radio lover so im in search of good radio so first i purchased GERAD radio from Amazon, 10,000/ price radio was good and pemium quality but FM signals in my area poor same way SW too so my money drained. Mean while i have seen Choyong as it is internet radio so you can listen all world stations anywhere where internet available so after so many inquries and consulting with choyong i purchased this A8W in fact i wanted to purchase lc90 price was 22998/ at that time but i had fear that i may loose amount if not run so i purchased this A8W on trial basis and im fully satisfied with it sound quality outstanding and catch all stations of world im listening FM stations of US, UK, Germany, colambia japan china nepal shrilanka kuwait clearly. Awasome radio, size is very small but sound is big oustanding quality of body everyone who radio lover they must buy thanks amezon for awesome quality.

It's an amazing product I have seen in my whole life....amazing looks ,amazing sound quality...I am loving it...

A small but powerful radio. Sound is awesome. Internet radio works smoothly most of the time. Sometimes it hangs which may be rectified my shutting it down and again to start. FM band is not upto mark. Stations are tuned at 0.1 megahertz before the assigned frequency of the FM station . For example AIR FM Gold Delhi broadcasts at 100.1 but this radio tune it at 100.0 megahertz. Buttons and ports for TF card, SIM card and battery charging are placed at proper places. Overall a good device for those who are interested in listening news, music and podcasts of any country from anywhere in the world subject to availability of internet.Cost is a bit at higher end for customers of India. If cost is not barrier for one he may proceed for its purchase.

I have been using this every day since I purchased it, so it is worth the purchase for me. However, I had originally purchased this to replace my Sonos speakers, which had burnt out due to a power spike. In comparison, there were some disappointments and some plus points. This is a small radio with a small speaker. The sound is not up to par. Quite satisfactory for News and Podcasts, but rather inadequate for music. I wanted a scheduled play feature, so the radio would play at a preprogrammed time. This feature is not available. As it has a clock and time function to stop playing at a predefined time, I wish they had also incorporated a function to turn on at a prescribed time. Though it has 40,000 programmed internet radio stations, I miss most of the stations I used on my Sonos. There is a provision to add stations with their URLs, which is rather cumbersome. On the plus side, I was very happy with the 32 GB micro SD card provision, which permits me to transfer and play 1000s of songs from my iPod to the player. It does not replace the Sonos, and at 1/10th the cost of a Sonos, it is an unrealistic expectation on my part. For the coverage as a portable pocket-sized Internet Radio and a music player, it is a good value for the price. I hope they can incorporate a scheduled play feature in a future software update.

I find this device very amusing as it can play over 40k internet radio stations and the idea behind building this type of radio at this price point is amazing. If you are buying to listen to FM just skip it. FM reception is very very poor in Bangalore City as it doesn't have an antenna. It looks cute and portable. Battery life is decent as of now. Bluetooth would have added more value but it doesn't have bluetooth. Best is that we can insert a sim for 4g Internet.

Very very best product, ling life battery, crispy clear voice, very happy with it.

Firmware is problematic in response and user interface is also not good. Not good in design

“It’s like an audio yantra with your stations and podcast at your finger tips.” Product look just like the image provided. Light weight. FM working. Wi-Fi working. eSIM and sim and TF, I have not tried and tested yet. Sometimes delay with buttons but I got used to it. Very good loud speaker but lesser volume could have been lower. An active community in Facebook. You can log in their website and add fav station and podcast from their search bar easily. As well as through url links which I didn’t get in first try. You might want to check their higher end version LC90 which is even better.

This little pocket-sized radio is great. Very portable and good wifi antenna. It also has the capability to use eSIM in case you need to use cell tower data. You can purchase data packages from Choyong that are reasonably priced if you want mobile data activated. The speaker sound is on the high end as you would expect for a small speaker but still sounds good. The FM tuner is very basic but I purchased this radio for the internet radio stations so no problem there. It is good to know that I have FM in case I am out of wifi reach. The voice search needs more work since it doesn't recognize what I am saying or just partially. The LC90 (the big brother to this radio) has a much better voice search but in the beginning it was also spotty. I am hoping for a firmware update to improve the voice search. All together, I am happy with the purchase. Update 3-22-25: The updates are very easy over internet connection. A firmware update came out today. They fixed the voice search! It works great now so no more manual searching for me! Also they added podcasts to the menus so I can save my favorite podcasts! Game changer!! The podcasts are also voice searchable! This makes this little radio my second favorite portable entertainment next to my cell phone. I find it more enjoyable for Internet radio and podcasts rather than using cell phone apps and the radio is more durable.

This is a great little radio with a fatal flaw, only the left channel is played through the speaker, they do not downmix to mono so for me that's a dealbreaker until its addressed in a firmware fix.

I recently picked up this internet radio that has some great strengths but also a few quirks. The audio quality is solid, delivering clear and rich sound that’s perfect for streaming stations from around the world. What really sets it apart, though, is its stunning design—it’s absolutely beautiful and looks fantastic in any room. However, programming it is a bit of a challenge. The interface feels clunky and not as intuitive as I’d hoped, which made setup more frustrating than it needed to be. Overall, I’m giving it a 4 out of 5—it’s a great device once you get past the initial hurdles.

For the money this is the little radio that can. I just upgraded the firmware and it now supports Podcasts and the voice search now works flawless. It has USB C charging and it comes with a USB C to mini stereo plug adapter. The sound is a little better than I had expected for a speaker so small. You can add you own custom stations. It does have FM but it honestly feels like an after thought as it has no antenna and the reception is ok at best. The community is strong on Facebook with lots of people that will help answer any questions you may have. In summary it has a strong voice search feature, tons of internet radio stations, tons of podcast, just OK FM reception, It can play flac audio from a micro sd card, It supports 4g sim cards (I am using Tello data only for 6/month) and has esim as well, Wifi of course. I might have missed a few features but the point is you are getting a lot for the money here. A couple of things to be aware of. One is that the battery life is good if you COMPLETELY turn it off when you are not using it. What I mean by this is that you can turn down the volume until you feel a click and it is in a standby mode and will not last for more than a couple days in this mode. The other and better way to turn it off is hold in the power button for a few second until it says shutting down. Another thing to be aware of is that the adapter that goes from USB C to stereo headphones is not a normal adapter you will easily find and that is because it does not have a DAC in the cord. Point being, do not lose the adapter, although you can buy a couple from the manufacturers website if you want.
