Great value 4 back radios
Setting up an Emergency street coordinators in my senior mobile home park, have tested the radios distance and clarity, ruggedness and battery life. 1st - At a distance of 1 mile all radios have excellent clarity and clear voice, noise starts to get back ground hush at 2 miles but voice is readable. 2nd I have dropped all radios from 4 feet several times and all work as planned. 3rd battery life on receive was 4 days but could of been longer before I decided to charge, when constant usage was about 24 hours before I decided to charge.ONE THING YOU SHOULD KNOW !! The radios came with two out of the 16 legal FRS (Family Radio Service) frequencies but that is not a problem. Here at Amazon you can get "Compatible USB Programming Cable for Baofeng Two way Radio BF-888S + With Driver CD ". Then look up FRS frequencies on the internet and you can program the radio for all channel legal use.I have had many Baofeng hand held radios as a Ham operator and these work far more than expected. Enjoy

Buena calidad
Sabemos que no es el flash mas rapido ni el más caro, pero lo he utilizado para sesiones de foto y nunca me ha quedado a deber. Si no quieres gastar por el momento este flash es el que estas buscando, puedes comprar unos radios de la misma marca, montarlo sobre un tripie y listo!

Klasse Lautsprecher für unterwegs
Ich konnte den Lautsprecher hier bei Amazon für 99.-€ kaufen und habe zugeschlagen. Als Einsatzort ist der Wohnwagen geplant. Dort wird neben dem Streaming über Smartphones auch noch ein DAB+ Signal eines kleinen Technisat Radios eingespeist. Somit ist eine kleine aber feine Beschallung des Wohnwagens gewährleistet. Aufgeladen kann der Soundlink mit jedem Handy-Netzteil, welches wohl in den meisten Haushalten bereits vorhanden ist....

Nice but nob feels cheap
Like it....but think the silver nob that you turn to select different sounds....feels cheap (especially for the price).....thus not giving 5 stars. I'm hoping the nob won't break in the future. I've had cheap radios before where the volume button acts up and gets crackely because of the cheap button.....so I'm hoping this nob holds up and doesn't do that. Otherwise I like it. I fell asleep to the fireplace crackling sound last night. It has a timer feature....so I just set it for 30 minutes and then it turned off and I was asleep :)

Best so far. Good customer service
I used to only use one brand. But alas they do not make it any more and after 5 plus years they are breaking down. This is the closest i found to reprclace them and so far have 4 with 2 up to a year old. I did end up breaking one and they had absolutely no problem replacing it. And have followed up since. I have suggested this mount to others as well. Once adhered correctly, i have not had one come off for the last year unless i removed it my self. I use them to hold radios and other devices alot heavier then a cell phone.

FM reception is excellent on this little radio
I had trouble getting good FM reception on several portable radios. After reading reviews on several options, I ordered this one. The sound is very clear, dials are easy to use and the styling is very retro. I haven't tried the bluetooth function yet. One thing though, the radio dial is slightly off when tuning but it doesn't really matter. I know when I have tuned to the correct station. Would recommend this radio for its clarity, styling and size. Sometimes the simple designs work the best!

A great little speaker at a really nice price, wha
I have tried at least a dozen or so portable bluetooth speakers over the last few years and most of them sounded alot like the old transistor radios we used to walk around with back in the 70's. The few that sounded decent were also pretty pricey, what for a portable speaker that lives to be abused and eventually lost somewhere in the woods or left on a beach (or the roof of your car). I bought this speaker to use for camping and chilling around the crib, and have been pleasantly surprised by the sound quality. The item arrived quickly (a day early...thanks Amazon!), was well packaged, and had easy to read instructions. This speaker is plenty loud for an average-sized room as well as outdoor use, I haven't tried it at a party because of, you know, social distancing, but I'm sure it would "rock the house" as the young folks say. The bass response is better than most of the small speakers I have heard, and on par with the more expensive brands. I would recommend this speaker to all of my friends, and even some of my neighbors.

Compact, Great Sound Quality
I previously owned 2 i Shower radios which were battery suckers. The last one I had just died and I'd only had it for about 3 years. Very disappointed for the price they charge. Decided to go the less expensive route that doesn't require batteries and so far so good. Connects easily, item is compact, has nice suction backing which I personally don't use because I put the speaker on a shelf but is a nice feature. Strictly using in the shower and the sound quality is great. Highly recommend.

Mount your cell phone anywhere
In our case, we decided to move the clock/radios so that they weren’t on side tables, but attached higher, off the bed head. The mount itself seems very solid and has not moved, the tough cable can be bent to any shape you want for flexible positioning, and the clip is strong enough to support the devices (or a cell phone if we wanted to read in bed). I’m sure there are a dozen other ways to use this.
