PRUNUS J-429 Small Portable Radio

Very good value, clear crisp rich sound from a neat compact and robust unit. I am impressed that such a relatively small player produces such a good sound. It plays MP3 files if you insert a micro SD card in the slot underneath. The radio has good reception even though the aerial is quite short. You can select the mode easily, (FM, AM and SW radio and MP3 player.) using the button marked M. In MP3 mode you can pause playback, and if you switch off, when you turn the player back on it continues from where you left off. You can also select any MP3 file by pressing the buttons if you know the track number, or you can scroll up and down using the arrow buttons. The battery is easily charged using a standard usb charger (not supplied) or I think you can plug it into your computer and charge it that way, although I haven't tried it. The battery lasts for hours on a single charge. All in all a very good piece of kit, and good value too.

These little radios are fantastic, we have a few and they work great.

Needed a small radio at work and this does the job for me. It's small, the construction is solid and it works pretty well. The only thing I will say is the sound from such as small device while adequate isn't going to blow your mind and the louder you have it the less battery life you get. 4 - 6 hours depending on volume from full to dead. But because it runs on a mobile phone battery you can just plug in your MINI usb adapter and charge it. This device might have been more versatile with a MICRO usb adapter instead which is more ubiquitous especially among android phone users. You can power it off a usb powerbar, beware that charging other devices near it can sometimes cause interference with the the radio. Tuning is easy enough, it's got an auto scan function but it's just as easy to type in a frequency. The display is nice and clear for radio use, I've not used it to play Mp3 which apparently it can do also. There are no points in the display, so for example 89.3fm is 893. You can plug other devices into it and also use the headphone socket to connect to a separate amp or speaker also. For what it is it's a decent quality item.

I own a couple of dab radios, and to be honest never thought of short wave, not since as a kid in the 70s has there been a need to surf the static for stations that get fewer. then recently while talking to a friend iwas told that if there was a major emergency, AM and SW would be the frequencies the authorities would use . this is also apparently the first freq used for weather warnings. dont know how true but for the price its a must add for my camping trips. just hope I never need it. So whats this like ? comes with a usb cable for charging and comes with some charge , rechargable from mains with an adaptor, or from either a power bank or solar charger. Small at about 10cm x 7.5 x 5 and light enough for a pocket. comes with a wrist strap and telescopic antenna. Operated by glove friendly buttons, set up and station/frequency selection is simple while the largish led display is clear and readable. sound is suprisingly loud for such a small unit and makes clear hearing in or outside, though I would suggest headphones for in public or force 6 gales. Frequencies, FM = Well its fm, chosen for all commercial radio and prone to drop out and static when on the move or inside steel frame buildings, needs ariel moving for best reception, only marginally better than original dab. AM = far less stations but those you do find tend to be more stable and not suffering the problems of FM. SW = The least populated frequency, but unlike the others is not limited to local range, in the right circumstances can pick up signals in areas the others cant and from all over the world. normally apart from occasional stations, this is a field of static, but in an emergency local or global, this frequency will carry official information to the public, along with ham operators long after FM/AM/INTERNET/DAB has been disrupted. like insurance, sw should hopefully never be needed, but if it is then you will be glad you have it, and this neat, light and clear radio along with a good travel solar charger should have a place in every home, if only for the fun of trying to find a station.

I didn't expect much for the price of this radio but I was surprised at how good it is. The reception is brilliant on all bands and for such a small size, the sound quility is great. Battery lasts a good 8 hours on 50% volume. Also a great radio for when the power is out.

The sound is good considering the size (it's tiny). The FM and TF card are also good, but... SW is useless, and AM is almost useless. For me, it is useful enough to keep it, but if you are expecting AM or SW, look elsewhere.

This is a pocket size radio (+usb card), ideal for taking to work too. I can save my phone battery and use headphones with this item. The sound is good for the size, even without headphones. Very clear audio. Scans all available radio stations. Requires charging every 10-12 hours of use, but unusable when charging. Recommended!

Bought one for elderly lady and have put one for myself on my letter to Santa. It is very easy to use once the stations have been set--but that is why it loses a star. We found it difficult to understand the instructions so it took an hour to set up, and after elderly lady fiddled with it and lost the stations, they wouldn't reset with the same numbers so she got even more confused. Apart from that, it is a robust and compact radio and one charge allows for hours of listening. The large buttons are ideal for elderly or (say) campers where your fingers might be numb or the light poor. Sound quality is EXCELLENT!

Bien pratique

最低限の機能があり操作がわかりやすい。 バッテリーも相当もつし、充電も簡単です。私はスマホ充電器に充電ケーブル（USB）を繋いでやっています。 毎日寝る前に1時間きいて、1、2週間は充電がいらないイメージです。

Nach langer intensiver Suche, einen kleinen Pocket Radio zu finden, habe ich diesen kleinen süßen gefunden. Ich kann ihn nur empfehlen. Der hat folgende Eigenschaften: - Sehr gut lesbares leuchtendes Display! - Die Kanalprogrammierung könnte besser sein - trotz kleine Antenne, sehr guter Empfang Das kleine Radio ist nicht nur für Senioren geeignet, auch für schnell mal Nachrichten hören und oder an einem Lautsprecherverstärker wie BOSE Boxen für einen noch besseren Klang zu bekommen geeignet. Party oder Campingday. Die Anschlüsse sind vorhanden. Sehr gut verarbeitetes Gehäusematerial! Sieht und fühlt sich hochwertig an! Wie lange der Akku hält kann ich noch nicht genau sagen, FAKT ist, dass das Gerät bereits über 4 Wochen mit einer Ladung funktioniert. Ich hoffe meine Rezi hilft euch allen weiter.

Si presenta come una piccola radio dal design vintage anni '90 sia nelle forme, sia nel colore che riproduce una verniciatura lucida su metallo molto gradevole, tanto da camuffare completamente la costruzione in plastica. Ha un display molto ampio con caratteri di colore rosso ben visibili in tutte le condizioni di luce, i tasti sono in gomma che attivabili da una giusta pressione con caratteri molto grandi in linea col design. Oltre alla radio, è possibile collegare diversi dispositivi per l'ascolto o la riproduzione grazie all'ingresso usb, microsd, oppure aux tramite jack da 3.5. Si può inoltre ascoltare l'audio tramite l'uscita per le cuffie. Le potenzialità dell'autonomia sono ottime credo... io la uso da qualche giorno senza ricaricarla (chiaramente dipende molto dall'utilizzo), dentro si trova una famosa batteria BL5C che faceva girare i nostri Nokia talmente tanto tempo da farci dimenticare di avere una batteria ... :) Sorprendentemente rispetto alle dimensioni dello speaker il suono risulta essere molto alto e nitido. Riassumendo, ottima qualità dei materiali, grande cura dei dettagli e soprattutto ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Non posso fare altro che consigliarla. Spedizione rapida e giunta nei tempi prestabiliti. Se la recensione è stata di vostro gradimento fatemelo sapere! :) Se invece avete dubbi o ulteriori domande contattatemi senza indugio, sarò felice di darvi maggiori informazioni.

He comprado esta radio para mi padre ya que esta muy chapado a la antigua y sin radio no puede vivir, así que esta vez le he comprado una algo mas moderna y completa que tiene un montón de opciones ademas de la radio, escuchándose muy bien y habiendo salida muy buena, la verdad es que ha sido un regalazo para él. Nos ha llamado mucho la atención el hecho de que esta radio funciona a 3 bandas diferentes, nunca habíamos tenido una así, siendo estas bandas la FM que es la que mas se suele ver y la que mas se usa en España, frecuencia modulada de toda la vida, banda AM en la cual podemos encontrar unas pocas emisoras y la SW que es la onda corta, esta es la mas curiosa ya que puede captar frecuencias de muy lejos, casi todas de fuera de España, no es muy estable y no siempre hay las mismas emisoras, pero se pueden pillar radios de otros países bastante bien. Dejando de lado el modo radio podemos ver que también tiene para meterle música mp3 por tarjeta micro SD y también por USB desde un pendrive, por lo que si no tenemos señal de radio podremos escuchar música siempre que la llevemos encima. Por supuesto esta radio va con batería y es extraible, cosa que me ha sorprendido, podremos cargarla por su puerto mini USB con el cable que lleva y nos dará bastantes horas de reproducción, indicar que también tiene salida auxiliar para altavoces y otra para usar auriculares, ademas de una completa botonera para buscar cadenas de radio o navegar por los MP3, así como una antena plagable. Recomendado!
