I got the “acceptable” unit for total $17 (sorry), one foot pad is missing, I’ll innovate. Firstly, I had wanted the chrome front but couldn’t afford it and didn’t want to wait a week; when I saw this used for the price I just pushed the button.From the pictures you would think the front is all matte black, it is not. It’s actually a very dark brown and the controls are a dark bronze, in shiny metal; closer to chrome aesthetic and looks far better with more tones than the photos would suggest. I’m actually happy I bought the darker color now seeing it. I tried to capture this on my pic, but it’s too dark and still doesn’t capture the wonderful appearance.Plugging it in and turning it on was instantly satisfying, easy to use controls, no stiffness, good quality, lights work, radio is a deep amber or orange. Nice wood, looks and operates easily and great.Tuning to a somewhat hard to get classical station locally was surprisingly easy and the signal came in loud and clear, unlike the other radios I’ve tried from Amazon. It felt like an old stereo where you didn’t have to give it thought and was instinctive in the first 30 seconds without the difficulty and poor reception and static and crackling of tuning and volume controls or pops of turning it on nearly all cheap modern radios have now.Bluetooth connected and performed seamlessly, perhaps a little softer than the radio but not horribly so. And the sound… On both radio and bluetooth the sound quality is superb; *just* enough bass without being muddy and the treble is good and clear. Bass in the voices and high pitches in the music, and very loud without screech or static at still low volume on the knob, with room-filling sound on FM and bluetooth.This is the most pleasing product I’ve purchased from Amazon in a long time, especially in the radio category.Update: After trying several others, I bought a second one! Like New $21. The only thing I notice is neither sits perfectly evenly, there’s a slight wobble, even with all four feet pads. No biggie. Love the radio, excellent big sound, bass, but not muddy. Best radio on Amazon, and a true “table radio”.

If you’re looking for an inexpensive but very good radio Bluetooth speaker, this is it. The sound quality isn’t perfect but it’s very good. If you’re looking for speakers for dubstep or heavy bass, you’ll need to spend more but it does have good bass for everything else. Additionally, the bass level is adjustable with the tone knob. It’s loud, not house rocking loud, but loud enough to hear well outdoors from my living room.I was surprised to see that this is not rechargeable but connects to the wall, so, not portable. This, however, was exactly what I wanted because every BT speaker I’ve had breaks down at the charger port. I bought and returned the SEVIZ “40 watt” (actually 4 ten watt speakers) in less than a month for exactly that reason.I’m not surprised by all the complaints about the radio adjustment given that we live in a time that people have gotten used to everything being automatic, but if you’re old enough to know how to use a radio like one from the 80s on back, it’s not a problem. It is, after all, a “vintage”, non digital, speaker. If you want more precise radio adjustment, buy one with digital tuning.I get so many stations it’s ridiculous and I live at 6000 feet, rural, at least a half hour away from all but two stations, so, if you’re not getting stations you must really be in the boonies. I get stations from Mexico and I’m 45 minutes away. The stations also come in very clearly with no interference at all.I have had a slight issue with the BT competing for a connection with my other speaker and then having a connection with no media or no phone and having to manually reset the connection, but this only happens if both speakers are on.It’s also very solidly built, although, it is manufactured in China. It’s MDF, not wood, but it looks great. It’s also not one of those vintage speakers you get and end up surprised at how dinky it is and how much it looks like a kid’s toy. It’s big for a BT speaker.For the price, this is a great speaker. For the price, you’re not getting a Kenwood, an automatic tuner, or tons of bells and whistles. If you want a good speaker for YouTube, TV, or other generalized use, this is it. I definitely recommend it. I’ll update if anything untoward happens down the road.

Ordered the Victrola Retro Radio/ BT receiver last night at 11:30 P.M. and go t it at 8 P.M. tonight. Great service! Unpacked the unit and was very pleased by its retro looks – simple yet beautiful. Wanted to buy it in the walnut color but opted for the Espresso since it was on sale – no regrets. Ready to use right out of the box – all you do is connect it and you’re set. There are two minor quirks on my unit which are not deal breakers but may or may not be present on other similar units. I was tuning the radio to my favorite FM station (105.9) and did not find it on the 105 section of the dial but on the 107 section – odd. The Bluetooth takes a little longer than expected to sync with my I Phone 13 but no big deal. This aside I was blown away by the sound which is full and rich through all volume levels without distortion in my opinion. Nice, crisp, clear sound. I listen to mostly classical music but do listen to other genres as well and i am sure the unit will do it all justice. The bass=treble knob was a a great touch – I found that keeping the knob in the middle yielded the best sound balance but admittedly this is my personal taste. There is a wire antenna on the back but I saw no need to unravel it as the reception was perfect as is. So to sum up this is great little unit to have anywhere in your home (so compact and lightweight you can take it from room to room). As mentioned above i was blown away by the sound quality for such a small unit – the price may seem high but it is worth it. If this is what you are looking for do not hesitate – you will not be disappointed.

I was a bit skeptical, not expeciting great quality. Sound is really good, however; bluetooth connection is very easy, and the radio looks nice on the shelf. Definitely recommend this product.

The media could not be loaded. This is exactly what I was looking for. The aesthetic is perfect while maintaining utmost modernity. First, i like that it’s corded so I don’t have to charge it to use it especially the BT function like most Bluetooth speakers. Second, the Bluetooth connected in seconds super easy! Third, the fm radio picked up ALL my local stations with amazing clarity. Lastly, the volume is quite impressive!It also has a tuning button allowing you to adjust the bass & treble and it really makes the sound just *chef’s kiss*

Having recently picked up the game Fallout 4, I was looking for a vintage radio similar to those in the game, without paying for some antique that only had AM radio. This looks the part completely – it the dial lit up like old radios, it would really knock it out of the park.The walnut finish in the picture looks lighter than what it is – it’s more of a reddish brown, vintage wood look.The reception seems phenomenal – i haven’t even bothered unbinding the antenna and in my basement by the bar, it’s picking up radio stations with absolute clarity.The speaker has good volume – it can get pretty loud – and the Tone adjustment covers a fantastic range of deeper bass (which does muddy the overall sound) up to crisp sharp treble. You can really dial in “the sound” you’re going for – old radio or modern quality sound – and tailor it to your music.Fallout fans or those gifting one – look no further, this is a great deal and a great radio/bluetooth speaker.

I put this radio in my kitchen and it adds a tough of charm and keeps my family singing in the mornings.

What a remarkable radio! Retro styling that is down to earth and superbly detailed. Sounds great! . Has a deep bass and if you want you can dial up the treble. Very satisfied.
