UV 5X3 Tri-Band Radio
Works well and provides a spare 220 UHF radio and I now can be prepared for operation on 2M, 220, and 440 during public service events so as not to run out of power or the need to operate on two bands at a time. Very happy with the new radio. K8QXO

Good, with reservations
1st unit arrived non-functional, manufacturer shipped replacement unit by 2nd day air, so 5 stars for customer service. Note this unit has an earphone jack, which when hooked up to my radio shack computer speakers, produces enough base sound on the white noise setting to drown out most bass noises produced by my neighbors' radio. By itself, without speakers, it's not enough to mask deep toned sounds. Big improvement over my old Marpac sound screen. Recommended.

i guess it’s ok
i bought this because i wanted a bluetooth that is also an fm radio. this works fine for these purposes. i haven’t tried usb functionality. using the buttons to operate the device, switch between bluetooth and radio are, find fm stations are at first, not very intuitive as many have commented. i’m suprised by the number of reviews that say the speaker sounds good. in my opinion the sound quality is acceptable but no where near some of the other bluetooth speakers i have. one notch above the speakers on an iphone. bluetooth work as expected, pairs to my phone and ipad just fine. the fm radio works as expected. i guess it’s ok.

Overall good value
ProsAmbient lighting under the radio is cool at night.When no water is in the speaker area the sound is decent.Cost of product is good for what you get.Bluetooth connectivity worked as expected.ConsWhen water gets into speaker area, whether it be by normal splashing or the radio being temporarily submerged, the sound quality drops significantly.Would I buy again? Probably. I'm sure there are better speakers for a higher price, but I am not looking to spend a lot. Overall good value for this radio.

great low cost speakers to replace 12 year old blo
They are low cost but quite acceptable quality. I still use the stock manufacturer radio so I don't want to pay a bunch of moniez for higher end speakers to match a high end radio unit. Though the original speakers have a proprietary Toyota connector hooking them to the electrical system, I just cut that plug off and wired these directly with wire caps. You could use heat shrink tubing or solder if you want a permanent connection. They sound fine and I no longer have the crackle of blown speakers in the doors. On my Scion xB, I had to drill out the rivets holding the old speakers in, then mount these on adapters, then screw into the door.

A great buy!
These speakers have done really well mounted outdoors. I mainly use them to play some talk radio at night to discourage wild animals from messing with my livestock. A great buy!

Good radio option
Compact and simple. Very light and two sided speakers contribute well to bigger sound. The radio feature is nice, especially with the buttons which allows you to not run all items off of a device.

True dual pairing for stereo sound
These little speakers sound really good and are well protected. Dropped mine a few times with no damage. Micro card has to be reinserted when playing music off it since source button chooses radio or Bluetooth
