This is the only budget MP3 player I could find with playing styles, (rock, jazz etc,) and all modes (shuffle, repeat etc) that I wanted. As such a full SD card or USB pen can play your music all day randomly and sound fresh every time. Quality powerful sound with radio and alarm.

Nice looking piece of kit but difficult to set alarm properly as instructions are poor . Blue backlight doesn’t stay on so if you want to see the time at night you have to manually flick a switch or use remote. Doesn’t pick up a lot of radio stations but the ones it does sound crisp and clear. On plus side you don’t have to leave it plugged in so it’s portable and you get around four hours playing time before it needs charging. It has an internal rechargeable battery the clock takes two normal batteries so that if the radio batteries cut out the clock keeps the time. You can use the clock/radio plugged in if you want to avoid having to recharge the internal battery. As a clock/ radio it is limited because at night you have to switch the back light on to view the time but if you don’t mind doing that it’s okay.Read full review

I purchased this to have as an alarm clock so I could wake up to my favorite radio station in the mornings. For this, it is a good product. The alarm feature works without issue - yes, the alarm is a bit on the loud side, but I'd rather it be loud (to actually wake me up) rather than be too quiet (and stay asleep). Some of the buttons are a bit stiff and need a bit of force to use, but the remote control is very convenient and works wonderfully. I use it almost exclusively with the remote control as it is easier to use that way. I also like how I can load up an SD card (or microSD card with suitable adapter) full of music, or a USB stick full of music, and use this player for local media playback. The FM radio works well enough too. The aerial supplied is quite short but my radio included an aerial extension cable as an accessory (a short piece of wire with a crocodile clip attached). This improves the radio reception considerably; unless you are in a strong enough signal area then it is recommended to use some sort of aerial extension. (Maybe a secret admission by the manufacturer that the installed telescope aerial is too short?). Sound quality is good for a radio of this size, and volume is also good. You can't expect Hi-Fi quality from a small cube sized radio with two 3W speakers, but audio quality is perfectly fine for a smaller portable device. Haven't tested battery life fully just yet (it states a 900mAh 3.7V lithium ion battery) but I expect it to be OK. It has a micro USB socket which is compatible with a lot of different chargers. I suspect that I might be able to increase battery life with a larger internal cell once the original cell gives up. In any case, it is recommended to use the AAA battery backup, so that the time and other settings are not lost when the Li-Ion battery runs out of charge. Overall, this is a good product and fulfills its job perfectly. It's a shame that the manufacturer hasn't made an even better model, with DAB/Bluetooth functionality (the only two features I'd want adding). Read full review

You can't change the alarm volume! This is shockingly poor - it's a basic function of a radio alarm! Hence why I gave it a 1 star - a radio alarm clock missing normal functionality It's set on loud (vol7). It will wake the whole house (and prob the neighbours aswell) Very disappointed as I get up at least an hour before the wife n kids. Such a shame 'cause it's a neat little radio. It has great capabilities for the price of it. It came so well packaged; batteries, remote, cables etc. It all screamed quality (pity it screams at you to wake up as well) Only other bad point is figuring out how to program it radio alarm and set radio stations. I got there eventually but defo helps to read online manual All things considered this is actually a 'portable speaker with alarm capabilities' rather than the advertised 'alarm clock with added functions'Read full review

I wanted a mains powered MP3 player so that I could enjoy my MP3 collection via a USB or SDHC card. I didn't care about FM radio or Alarm features but they came with the package. The first place I looked wanted £30 & would NOT ship to N Ireland. I was crushed because this was the only device I had found to date that met my needs. I scrolled on down the listings & found the exact same player for £17 & it was shipped to N Ireland & in my hands in less than 30 hours!!! I read all the reviews on this player & found only one issue that I was not happy with. The SDHC card did not seem to like this player. There were no limits to the amount of data the player would accept so I had nearly 8 GIG of music on the card. Next day & switched to a USB 16 GIG stick, with 8 GIG of music, & the unit liked that & played almost continuously in Shuffle Mode for the 137 hours I was on the indoor job site. It resides in my DIY shed at the moment & does a fine job there, also. Battery life on continuous play is about 5 hours. The AAA batteries save the clock settings. Yes - the buttons are a bit stiff but you will soon realize that the button is hinged on the right side & pushes very nicely on the left side. Another issue I found was that the power plug fits nicely into the headphone socket. I didn't pay attention to the layout & one is right beside the other. No harm was done & that's how I found out how long the battery lasted! The remote control unit works OK but I have no need of it. Yes - the Off-On switch is on the back. Get used to it! The unit at £17 is an excellent buy & a few quirks may be expected. It is no harder to program than your average smart phone. I had no luck finding any reference to what the external data size limit is recommended. My MP3 music is in folders by artist & song title & the Shuffle feature was happy enough to Shuffle from folder to folder. I have had the player for 2 months now & am very satisfied with the purchase at the £17 price.Read full review
