Great little pocket radio
This is a good little radio. I wanted something to keep in a pocket and with a speaker so I could catch the news or some of Radio 4's comedy programmes when out and about. This fits the bill perfectly. My score (below) for sound quality reflects my view on what you might expect for a radio of this size. You don't buy a radio like this for serious music listening. For its size, it is perfectly acceptable.

Bush Baby Radio
An ideal size to drop into a pocket, and a reasonable sound for a small speaker. The downside is that setting up the favourite stations can be a bit fiddly as the prompt is right up the top of the screen, then, if you have to replace the batteries they aren’t saved so you have to go through the process all over again.

Powerful little radio pocket size

One of the lowest priced radios on the market
This is incredibly low priced radio which has a choice of AM or FM bands. It can search for a station or a particular frequency can be selected. The controls can be locked if desired. The display is not illuminated but is quite large. The sound is not of much higher quality than a telephone, similar in fact to a walkie-talkie. It is nevertheless incredible value for money retailing at just under £7 although at that price the two AA batteries needed are not included.

Compact radio
I bought this as a Christmas gift, so I tested it to see what the sound was like and to check it worked. It's perfect with good sound. It's quite compact, ideal for outside in the garden or taking out and about. Fits in your pocket.

good reception
Bought for my Husband while he was in hospital. mostly listened to BBC Radio Four. Very good reception. fairly simple to use which was just as well as generally the nurses had to help him use it - not at all good with technology now.

This is not my experience. It appears to be switched off, but then after not using it for a couple of days it suddenly makes a loud noise, like background interference, which indicates that the battery is out of power. This has happened twice in the three weeks that I have had the product.
