LETING FM Portable Radio with Bluetooth, Flashlight, One-Key Search & Station Memory, Supports USB, AUX, TF Card, Rechargeable 800mAh Battery – Best Gift Idea

I have had this odd little unit - Mfine 088 - for a few years now and this unit is an incredible value - cheap, sounds great, works wonderfully. This is my "go to" travel unit because so many hotel rooms have lousy radios or none at all and TV is not a good source of music and I don't want to carry a separate BT speaker unit although I sometimes do for longer trips. MicroSD Card: I use a SanDisk Ultra 64 gb micro SD (not completely full) in it and it works flawlessly. I have tried others and they have all worked. You can d/l music from your computer etc to the micro SD Card and then just plug it in. There are no screens to tell you what is playing but your ears know and for 12 American, it's not even on a wish list. Truly plug and play here. Speaker: The speaker has depth and is rich-sounding - it has a fantastic sound - I was blown away by how good it sounds even at high levels and it does get loud - this of course is source dependent as I noted that some of my content is a lot louder than other songs so I have to turn it down. This is better sounding than several of my BT speakers. Clear, not muddy, with a slightly warm sound. Use with iPhone 8+ Poor Sound Solution: So just for the heck of it I tried a test. I used a standard 3.5mm stereo cable plug at both ends (the same as your headphones/headphones) and plugged that into the Mfine AUX and the other end into into a 3.5 mm Lightning adapter and that went into my iPhone. Et Voila! That is a clunky solution to Apple's inability to engineer sound. I need to use a short 6-12" cable - the 3 ft one was all I had on hand while traveling. FM: Press the pause/play button for 2 seconds and it automatically scans and loads each station that registers and then you can use the FF button to scroll through the stations. FM sound is equally good. I've used this in various urban areas and FM selectivity has been good and the station remains locked in - no FM drift etc. LED Light: This is one of those odd-little additions to this unit that works nicely. It lights up during charging by the way so charging overnight you may not want this next on your bedside table. Battery Life: I have had it on for 8-10 hours with battery life left. It uses a BL-5C flat battery - the kind that were popular in older cell phones - you may well have one lying around the house, if you want to have a back up. If not, these are cheap and freely available. That said, I have not needed to do so as battery life was very good. Inputs: Micro USB - this is the charger input. Headphone - self explanatory Aux - in - I found my iPhone 8 to have incredible poor sound output. I was listening to an audio book and it drove me crazy how inadequate the iPhone sound is. See solution above. USB - I have not used it yet so I decided to test it just for fun for this review. I plugged the Micro SD card into: a) Anker SD card thumb sized adapter with a micro SD input. Using the full SD card, it played perfectly but the micro-SD card did not. b) I-FlashDevice HD (3 way USB with micro-USB inside the USB, USB C, Lightning plug) - works fine. c) "USB Type-C/OTG Card Reader/Writer". USB and USB C at each end with SD and Micro slots on either side of the unit. This is a no name unit and it worked fine. I have given this to a friend who expressed great interest in it. I plan to buy a 3rd unit as a back up. Ultimately, the is the cost of a couple of coffees. If it doesn't work for you, return it or give it away.

This is great little radio! It's exactly what I was looking for. I work construction and we're not allowed big radios but this is perfect. It's loud and small. 5 other people on my job got one and we all love it. I haven't had any problems. It's been dropped and covered in dust and is still working. The best part is the price! Any small construction radio is going to be close to $100. I recommend this radio to everyone on my job and to anyone interested in it!

Works very well. Sound is quite good for such a small speaker. My primary use was to play mp3 files from a memory stick. That works fine. It plays them in the order they were placed on the memory stick, not in alphabetical order. No randomize function but you can select a track by number or skip to the next or previous track.

I use this for sleeping - I need some kind of noise to muffle the outside noises. In my case white noise seems to work well. I like being able to add my own .mp3 sounds. One item that I found crazy was when I was adding and deleting the various sounds, the ones that I had deleted seemed to still be playable on the SD card. Once I realized this, I made sure that the data was completely removed on the SD Card.... yes, not in the 'trash' anymore. I use Linux as my OS. I like the easy to feel on/off switch; I do not need to open my eyes to use. I like the volume dial - yes, it is an analog dial...... works great. I do NOT like the flashlight effect of the light beam when it is plugged in. Yes, the light does work well as a flashlight, however, this only comes on ................ when you have it plugged in!!! Battery is working well for me, so 8+hrs on is not an issue. I charge it every day. Sound is fine. I use for noise, so I am not looking for a graphic equalizer.............. it sounds good to me. It has a regular USB slot too. I have not tried using it. I opt for the small sd card option. Using this, it will just progress to the next sound...........if you only have one, it will just keep repeating. I found that upon repeating, it seemed to have a bit of a delay...........so, for me, I just duplicated the noise track enough times in the Audacity software to achieve an 8 hr complete file. Overall I am happy.

I bought this for radio and music at work and I dropped it like 50 times in 9 months. It's still working, unbelievable. You can turn it up quite loud too.
