328 mp3 radio

Purchased this a year ago. A lot of reviews for products on Amazon, are comparing Product A to a higher priced Product B. But this is a $10 dollar radio. That needs to be remembered. Not a $100 dollar radio. So for this price point, it seems like a great radio. For this price, it is very good. Feels solid, and looks great. The sound seems very good. There is no Bass or Treble adjustment. This radio does have a volume control wheel, which is more handy than button adjustment. A nice feature. This is also a FM ONLY radio. It does that job well. I actually bought it for it's ability to record FM radio. The included instructions are ok, could be better, but most of the radio is intuitive. For recording, it seems to do that fine. No adjustments for bit rate. But the audio is clear. I am using it to record my SiriusXM Home Radio. I use a FM broadcaster (bought off of Amazon.com), then I use this little radio to record the SiriusXM. Seems to work well. Finally, in the product answers to questions (here on Amazon) it states that the TF CARD limit is a 32GB card. But I inserted a 64GB TF Card that was laying around the house, formatted it for Fat32 and it seems to be working. We will see. Well, I did have some problems and put in a 32 GB card, as per instructions. The Radio will also play mp3 files. So you can use it as an inexpensive mp3 player. The radio is small. One interesting design, is the FM radio Antenna is actually the "carry strap". Really for the money, its a great value. FM Radio, MP3 Player, Radio Recorder, and it appears, also a voice and sound recorder (haven't verified that yet). The volume can be set very loud. I have updated this a year after the purchase. I still love it. It is a great radio recorder. That is mainly what I use it for. To record Radio. Christmas Music, Talk Shows, News, and my XM Radio Receiver programs. Seems to me, every rating for this product ought to be a 5 star! If you want a little FM Radio or MP3 player, with FM Recorder (there are not many of those around for this price) for under 20 Bucks, this seems to be a great deal. I plan on using it to record favorite programs for listening to later. I think it is a good value for the money.

I have bought this little MP3 player/radio 7 times. I tape music (or any audio) onto the microSD card, then insert it into the device, creating players that exclusively play certain things. One is 50 hours of David Sedaris audio, another is all Hawaiian music, a third is all the music for every Wes Anderson film (in chronological order). I have another that is filled with just classical music. The sound is clear and loud (for such a small device) and it fits easily into my top pocket. Luckily I own a recorder that lets me easily do this manually but anyone can download music onto an microSD card and create the same exclusive listening fun. I buy these for friends and fill them with their favorites. It’s an incredible value and a great way to play music without needing WiFi or a cell phone (especially when cell phone service isn’t strong). And it also plays FM radio. Ten out of ten. For me, it’s the best thing Amazon sells. (I recently made one for my 82 year old father-in-law—I took his whole musical library and put it onto one microSD card, organizing by genre and he loves it because his old iPod is no longer supported by Apple and doesn’t hold a charge)

For its small size this unit delivers good sound. FM radio is great and a good charge lasts days and days even if I play the radio all day. I like the fact that while the unit plays it turns off the display and only shows a little TF or FM LED. This saves on battery life. However a TF card loaded with MP3 music plays fine one day. Next day the unit doesn't recognize the flash card and reverts to radio mode. This is why I only give this unit 3-stars instead of 5. Update: Jan 7 2024. I've had this radio for a few years. It works great with a 64 GB card. Half the card is filled with MP3 music. The other half for recording. This little radio is a tough beast. I can punch in any local frequency and hear clear radio. I use it every day in the bathroom as I shower. Records well. Great for travelling. This thing is like a retro radio-cassette recorder, except you can record 2000 hours instead of 60 or 90 minutes and the recorded sound quality is way better than cassettes were. The radio is mono, not stereo. Updating from 3 to 4 stars.

Got it as a gift for my tween who's not yet ready for a cellular. At first I inserted the microSD/TF card (comes with) into my android phone and transferred .mp3s to it. The player didn't recognize any of the files. Troubleshooting, I used a USB-C microSD/TF card reader on my laptop. Using the computer, I deleted the files and replaced them with ones from the laptop. My kid has used this nearly every day since. It plays through corded headphones, or out loud through the built-in speaker. It picks up FM stations, but not great. It has no external or amplified antenna. I can tell that it does not use the headphone cord as an antenna bc moving the cord around has no affect on FM signal reception. I have not and do not plan to use the voice recorder, so I cannot comment on that. I did record some of a song on an FM station with it, and it played back very nicely as an .mp3 file. Thank you.

Great radio and works perfectly! Love how it's digital display and easy to use! Purchased for my son who is 9 and has autism. He loves a certain radio station whenever he rides in the car or bus, and this was a great option!

Not bad if not driving or moving around due to bad conditions. Easy to put in the Chanel

A beautiful small radio, recorder, and mp3 player. Arrived 1 day ahead of schedule. I really love it! Pros: 1. The stereo speakers are loud and clear and are great for playing MP3 music. 2. Easy to use. I barely had to look at the manual to figure it out. 3. Right portable size for indoor or outdoor use. Either hold in hand or put in the pocket, or even hang on the kitchen cabinet nob while cooking. 4. Voice recording anytime, anywhere is perfect for anyone's memo-taking, writer, or songwriter. 5. Will recognize TF card (micro SD) up to 64GB. (Though manufacturer says accept maximum 32GB). Cons: 1. Radio signals reception is not as good as I expected. Only 7 out of 20 scanned radio stations are super clear. 2. Lack of battery monitoring in led screen. 3. Lack of Bluetooth for wireless. Overall, this is a very good product to own at an inexpensive price. I hope the next version will improve the radio quality and include in a wireless option.

Good sound quality, perfect size

Excelente producto, cumple muy bien su función.

v good

First of all, this is a legit review -- I bought this on my own without any freebies etc. I just wanted a compact radio to play here and there around the house. So this item was under 30 bucks, and I figured I wouldn't lose too much if it turned out to be a let down. There were plenty of others at twice the price, mediocre reviews. This one had good reviews, but I figured those were probably green fielded reviews (fake). Nope. This radio is really cool! The tuning selection is direct push button instead of dial, so it is quick dead on, and there is no station drift -- it stays locked on. The sound is crazy good for a little device this size. Of course it is not for dancing to, but the sound is clear, crisp, full, and has the depth of a desktop radio of similar type. But it fits easily in a pocket (a little wider and thicker than a pocket memo recorder), and it fits easily in a jacket chest pocket, with room to spare. The build is solid and well finished, and the device adds radio recording, voice recording, and microSD file play on top of the radio. Battery does not last as long as AAAs in a similar radio; but then again, this one is rechargeable via USB in a little over an hour (I think). It goes for a decent amount of time (I am guessing about 6 - 10 hours, depending on volume). But then again there is obviously a decent little amp driving a good speaker in there, so the relative high fidelity is worth the extra current draw (it is a 3W amp... pretty good). I also only recently bought the radio, and since lithium batteries sometimes need a few charge cycles to reach full capacity, it may improve. To sum up, I don't normally write reviews because I am busy and lazy, but this item is so good I wanted to let others know it's worth buying. This would make a very good gift for someone travelling, working in an office, using it with headphones around town, on the bathroom counter in the morning (not waterproof though...), for young people's birthdays etc., party favours, and so on. And get one for yourself they're great and not too expensive. This little radio is simply very good quality, and a pleasant surprise to use.
