I purchased this in December 2024 along with a few other models to compare. This one sounds the best, with the bass more audible and less of that "tinny" sound quality that I could use to describe other radios. I carry this little Goodes brand radio with me most places and I love how my headphones plug right in. I hardly ever use the antenna but it works really well as a kickstand so the radio can be positioned vertically or horizontally. Sometimes I'll use the strap it comes with to hook onto a shower curtain ring at the farthest end of the shower so I can listen to tunes in there. In a long shower, the moisture might make the sound a little fuzzy but it's always come back. I've dropped this thing plenty of times and brought it on bike rides. Easy to say it's still one of my favorite things I own, and I'm so glad they made more colors to choose from. Heck I'll throw in a vote for baby pink, most greens, a navyish blue, orange, brown, and pastel yellow. Anywho, happy listening all! This is the best straightforward and portable lil radio there is. Review: Superior audio, I've tried them all! - For the best audio and reception, look no more! So many portables and I've tried nearly all of them, especially in this price range. This Goodes AM/FM will satisfy and impress. The tuner knob is smooth and the pointer is accurate. Stations on both bands are easily held and stay locked. It's actually quite nice to operate! The cabinet is extra solid and built with the case seam hidden. I especially like that it does not have a belt clip but does feature a decent removable strap. Red LED for power on. Where this radio really shines is the sound! Inside there is a large, foam suspension 3 watt speaker. The sound profile is size and price defying! Significantly better sounding than MOST of the others to my surprise! It's great for music with crispy clean treble, perfect mid range, and yes......even some bass! The power/band switch work easily with a nice feel, same with the volume knob. The FM antenna is nice, really long. 2 AA batteries fit without drama, and the cover fits perfectly. It's just an excellent little radio that's really good at its job! For Pete's sake get two because somebody you know would love this! ## Features - High Quality AM FM Portable Radio: DSP anti-jamming chip, effectively improve the radio sensitivity.
