Value can't be beat
I've had the radio one month and so far so good. It wasn't the easiest to program with CHIRP but I managed. I think it had more to do with the instructions of the website. the radio works fine and it's loud and clear. It's perfect for its intended use, a small portable radio for emergency use and an excellent starter radio. I can hear local FM radio broadcasts, which is good during emergencies. It's very small, light and easy to carry. It comes with a lanyard, two antennas, battery, belt clip, and earpiece. Instruction manual is decent but you need to know "tech talk" to know what everything is (at least for me, I'm new to Ham radio). I found YouTube (hoshnasi) and (David Casler) helpful for this as well as setting up. I bought the NA-3201 antenna with it and when assembled there's a gap in between the antenna and radio. There's a rubber gasket that comes with the antenna that is used but I thought it would cover the gap, instead it seals between the radio and antenna but still leaves the gap open to collect dust and debris. Once i get my ham license and get more familiar with it I'll post an update.

JVC CS-J620 300W 6.5" set of 2 , Better than I exp
I am using these JVC 6.5" speakers to replace the stock door speakers in my '95 Chevy pickup. Factory AM/FM radio with no added amplification. A simple inexpensive replacement is what I found here. I wanted to keep the unique snap-in GM speaker mounts. So I did have to modify these a bit by trimming the edge of the speakers' steel frame (basket). These JVC's fit well and sound good. I hope I can post a good, long durability report some time in the future, only time will tell. Thanks for reading. 5/25/22

Great lil Product
My truck radio broke so I had to get me one of these speakers at a good price so I wasn’t sitting in awkward silence. Things a beast. I’ve had it for about 3 years now and it’s still loud and proud. Definitely recommend getting one of these if you need a good speaker.

Lots of bang for the buck.
I replaced an ailing set of rock speakers on my patio with these and I'm enjoying their full sound. I buried them in the mulched area just beyond the rock foundation of the patio and my only regret is not ordering them sooner. I love the sound of my backyard now. Just an FYI, I spent many years in radio and know a thing or two about speakers. You can't go wrong with these. The price is right and they sound the way I hoped the would.

Stock Replacement
For the price you can’t ask for more! I put them in an ‘05 GMC Sierra extended cab to replace the blown front speakers. Sounds just as good if not better than the stock speakers did when new. Infinitely better than the speakers now (see pic). Still using a factory head unit. Probably not the best option if the radio has been upgraded. I did not use the factory speaker bracket but instead drilled four small holes in the door and used the provided sheet metal screws. Time will tell how they hold up.

Great set and great customer service
Bought these and was really happy. This was my second pair after someone stepped on my first and it broke. After a few months of this one, one of the speakers stopped working. Customer service was very quick to reply and helpfully offered a free replacement and then a refund.The quality is good, especially for it's price, and I love the fm radio feature, although it is quite hard to navigate.

These speakers gave my radio sound. The old speake
These speakers are cheap but they work and they sound okay. The OEM speakers for my chevy pickup were 4 times the price for a pair so I thought why not try these inexpensive replacements. They fit perfectly into the dash and they don't sound too bad. Not a lot of base but they are clear and they sound just fine. It's a step up from having no sound at all while I wait for something better to come along on a discounted super duper going out of business 85% off sale.... or ..... Well.......... maybe not

These speakers sound very good. I am using the Lvp
These speakers sound very good. I am using the Lvpin TMS® 200W 12V Mini Hi-Fi Car Amplifier Booster Radio MP3 Stereo ($13) and a 12 volt, 6 amp power supply to drive these Pyles and am VERY satisfied. Some reviewers complained about the mounting brackets and I do agree that the end screws do not put enough pressure to hold the speakers in position. I ended up using a lock washer between the bracket and the speaker housing and so far this is working. If they slip again, I'll add some Locktite to the female screw inserts. However, that is a minor issue and in no way degrades the performance of these speakers. Buy 'em!

Great Bluetooth speaker with radio capability
This is perfect. I use it to stream Podcasts from my phone, but I also like to listen to the radio, and I wanted one device for both. The number buttons make it easy to enter radio stations, and the display makes it clear what station is playing. I really like that feature and was surprised how rare it is on other Bluetooth speakers. The battery life is amazing and it rarely needs to be recharged with my light use. Sound quality is good. The only point against it is the voice prompts have a heavy accent to an American ear, to the point they are difficult to understand. But, once you figure it out, they're always the same, so it's not an ongoing problem for me.
