Benss Portable Radio AM FM, Transistor Radio with Loud Speaker & Headphone Jack, 2AA Battery Operated Radio for Long Range Reception, Pocket Radio for Indoor, Outdoor and Emergency Use(Black)

Bought this for camping - it works amazing and has really great sound!

Benss portable radio is small, fitted well into your palm, but its speaker produces a clear and detailed sound. It is quick station tuning, and smooth volume control knob, at a low price, is a good item to have. Indeed, with a discount price of $20, this is the device you need to have in case of weather emergency or power loss.

If the power goes out for a day (or longer) the tv, stereo & internet go out too. To get weather or other info, I knew I needed to get a radio that doesn't need to be plugged in or recharged by other things that need to be plugged in. I previously had a small wind-up radio, but the reception was awful & a whole lot of winding produced very little power. I have a small rechargeable power bank that can be charged with solar power if we get knocked off the grid, but in that situation the solar power bank would be reserved exclusively for charging my cell phone. I didn't buy another portable radio after that one broke (it didn't last very long). Then I saw this one on Amazon & decided it was "cheap" enough to take a chance on. I'm glad I did! I wasn't expecting much from this little radio, so I was really surprised when I heard the clear reception & quite good sound quality. I tried the AM setting (where the talk shows are) & heard clear voices without static or fade out. Then I tried the FM setting to hear what music would sound like coming from such a small radio. It sounded so good, I wanted to hear it with headphones & was amazed at the high quality of the sound. There's no reason to put it away until the power goes out. This radio is good enough for every day use (or if Mom wants to listen to her talk shows while taking a break out in the gazebo). I use the radio with a pair of lightweight, portable JVC headphones purchased on Amazon (JVC White Flat and Foldable Colorful Flats On Ear Headphone with 3.94 foot Gold Plated Phone Slim Plug HAS160W) & a protective & convenient neoprene carry case also purchased on Amazon (kwmobile Neoprene Phone Pouch Size XL - 6.7/6.8" - Universal Cell Sleeve Mobile Bag with Zipper, Wrist Strap - Mint). See the pics.

Got the radio as a power outage backup. It exceeds expectations as to sound quality and picking up stations. For the buck, a good sized bang.

Works great
