First hand held ham radio
The antenna that come with the radio don't work that well I had to buy an abree 28-in antenna to get better reception.

tunes in the shower
my polaroid speaker had died and i was shopping for a new one. found this one and so far it is awesome. it has several light settings my favorite is the lights beat to the music, i can control my google assistant when it is in bluetooth mode and i have not had it about a month and it is still on the same charge. the sound quality is awesome i can hear it throughout my entire house. i like that it has a radio and an antenna and also a clock. good quality for the price.

Cool but the dial is off
Great radio, but the dial is off like most of the reviews say. Not a huge deal to me but it’s a great radio otherwise.

Solved my indoor lighting problem
I'm making demonstration videos for ham equipment I have built. I could not get the proper lighting indoors for my videos. This set has solved my problem. I'm very impressed.

Quality speaker
I bought this because I am hearing impaired. I have it in my 2 meter Ham Shack. With or without my hearing aids I can understand what is being said.KD2YGU

Great little rugged camera.
Bought this to have a small video camera on hand in the work truck for tower climber pics of the radio/antenna combos on our cell towers when doing maintenance. So far it's performed flawlessly. Small, easy to use, good quality pics/video, and not expensive where if it crashes to the ground not going to be totally devastated. Comes with a number of mounting options. Plan on putting a mount on my Wrangler and doing some off road videos as well. No SD card included so be advised - technically not usable out of the box.

Since 2017
I've bought one of these speakers in 2017. It's still working as the first day.It sound pretty good for its price and size, i don't use the flashlight as much but it is a pretty good bonus (its very spot, it could be a little more floody).Radio FM only works in clear areas or if you have an Aux cable connected as an antenna.For those who wrote that the volume controls doesnt work when in Bluetooth mode, just know that "Quick Press" is for Next and Previous (or repeat) but "Long Press" will work as Up or Down Volume.

Top quality product
Bought this to connect a new Amazon Dot to my Bose radio. Sound is great and now I can listen to XM radio through my Bose, as well as music from several sources, without needing the radio remote.

Nice unit but a few small quality issues.
Almost zero FM reception; I have it next to a $12 dollar radio that pulls in 20 or more stations. It needs a REAL antenna. Very loud annoying sounds when you turn it on or off. (ie: turn it on: "BLUETOOTH!!!!". Change mode: "FM RADIO!!!", Change mode: "SD CARD!!!!". Turn it off: BING BING BING!!!!!!" Can't lower the volume of these cues. It always scares the cat. The LED rings on the inner speakers were glued in at different places than each other; when one speaker is blue/green/red, the other is green blue red. looks weird. Sounds good and plays well. The remote works but getting to the FM station (if it actually picked up FM) is a click by click nightmare. Can't get any seek function to work.
