Retro Bluetooth Speaker, Vintage Radio Speaker, Vintage Decor

You know how there are "retro" games of wooden boards/puzzles/appliances, but are in reality lacking quality once bought? This is the complete opposite! I have only used it for one hour so no clue about how long it lasts after max charge. I bought this little speaker since my laptop has poor quality speakers. My old Bose speaker died some months ago and I did not want to buy something mediocre even after trying some demo from the local electronics stores. Lately it seems I have been bombarded with Youtubers and influencers promoting 'ok" and questionable brands speakers. I feared a bit that this cute retro one would fall into the same story of "people love it because it's ok and it's cute". Upon opening the Amazon box I was surprised to find the actual package box was decent! The speaker was nested in the foam insert. A charger cable was attached as was a typical "nice-touch" storage pouch (although that defeats the purpose of using a speaker?). Although it powered on after arrival, I plugged it into charge (micro usb from my own cable). After being bored of a Youtube binge and dinner I decided to test it out. Volume Pro, Warning: I do want to say NOTE: the volume controller needs a delicate touch. From the tuner all the way down I only need to move it maybe 0.25 of an inch to play in my room at night as not to disturb others. If it was daytime and I was doing errands, washing dishes, it can be cranked up. While I would not use this for a "party" unless quite small--it can get close to as loud as the max of a "regular TV" in my opinion. That's quite amazing when you see it in person and know it's a mix of metal or wood with plastic backing! Radio FM: It's exactly as I imagined in terms of use. The little dial turns to the FM function and the face lights up orange (and remains so). Then you turn the face tuner to change radio channels. The--signal reader--is on the top of the flat surface of the "radio box" so do not put your hand or block it or it will distort the radio sound to be "fuzzy". 5/5 in terms of wow and use and clarity. What I am not sure about is that the channels it picked up is way different than my car overall, so not sure why that is and before someone says was it AM?--based off most music stations I do not believe it was AM radio. Bluetooth: Yes! The entire reason I bought this is to listen to my tunes clearly while doing cleaning. Left the volume dial as is and paired with my phone's Bluetooth in 3 minutes. Then I just played a song. Right now the radio is on a desk away from me, and I can just tap the side volume control from my Note 8 and lower/increase the volume from my bed! I know it sounds a bit --gee really? how's that exciting?-- Well it is for me after having the finicky Bose that died which by the way was superior in sound quality, but I'm not going to shell out money like that again. It did last a few years, but I'm no audiophile. This cute lil speaker is my new best friend while doing chores. Also while in Bluetooth the "face" will light up Blue there is no way of turning it off to my knowledge. Not a bad thing in my opinion. Audio Quality: It's definitely good. It's not mediocre or "ok". It's actually decent/good/satisfying. Again, it's better than my laptop's speakers. It doesn't compare to my old Bose speaker or headphones, but it's not disappointing. In fact it's "that" good I will consider purchasing it as gifts! Other positive bits to know: There are two little feet that you can peel the plastic off to provide some "grip". I like to slide the radio (though that's a bit risky) on my desk so I left the plastic on. Mine came with a little wrist strap cord? It should be removable. I like that it's kind of like a tail so I left it on for now. Maybe the wrist strap is for use outdoors to loop the radio "safe" over a pole? I don't advise it, but---it's possible maybe? I'm not sure why someone would hold the speaker in their hands and use the strap wrist that way. Build/Color: It looks exactly like the picture. I purchased the "Cherry" color wood. I think it is really wood? It's really smooth and you cannot tell if it is molded wood pulp. The back Aux is easy to access and so is the charge port. I hope this device lasts longer than my Bose...anyway for the price it would be a fantastic Christmas gift or birthday gift. Possible Cons: 1. I don't know the battery life after max charge is true to the "9 hours" claim 2. People need to know to charge their radio with a micro USB. I think that task doesn't register based off some negative reviews I read. There is no quick battery replacement only micro USB charge. 3. The front is identical to the pictures, but know that at least for the "cherry wood" I bought, the back is clean and smooth, but black plastic casing is exposed. The wood does NOT wrap around the entire body! If you buy this please know that in case you expected it to fully cover or if you don't want guests to see that for whatever reason. 4. The charge port light indicator is a bit dumb as it is located below the insertion point. Meaning you cannot see the indicator light status unless you lift up and look or somehow coming from a lower angle. Minor annoyance. I can live with it.

My husband was born in the wrong century. He was very skeptical of this little radio when I got it for him for Christmas. Liked the look, doubted having to charge it and the newfangled Bluetooth thing. But now he is obsessed. He carries it with him everywhere… like a puppy. He’s so excited by the sound quality, and impressed that the charge lasts for several days (he mostly listens to it while cleaning in the morning… to the music he once partied to in the 70s-80s….) He loves this little radio so much he makes the same positive comments on it every few days (should I ask the doctor about dementia testing??). Anyway his birthday is in May so I’m here to buy 4 more so he has one in the shop, upstairs, in the 67 Chevelle… wherever he feels the need so he stops carrying the original one in his pocket.

I don’t typically write a lot of reviews, but this radio is amazing! It’s small enough to hold in your hand, well-made, and WOW it sounds great! I purchased it for my office, the radio comes in crystal clear. I’m excited it also has Bluetooth, I was highly surprised and very happy with us.

Bought this for the aesthetic, but the audio quality is also fantastic. I have been using this every day for ambient music in my office, and the ease in which it connects to all my devices has far exceeded my expectations. It's not very big, so if you're looking for a showpiece, I wouldn't say this is it. But, it puts out great sound, is easy to use, and has the retro look my desk sorely needed.

I've used this for just over a year and it finally broke. PROS: - Great and impressive sound for such a small speaker! Both in quality and in volume - I often had to use it at its lowest sound setting in my home office. - Super easy to switch to bluetooth mode and use it as a computer speaker - all I had to do was spin the dial to the right twice and it would work in under 2 seconds. - Radio was excellent and was fun to use for a retro feel. - No batteries required, just need to charge it (which I prefer). Battery life is ok. - Super compact size and very aesthetic. It was easy to bring around to parties or in my backpack. CONS: - No battery indicator, paired with the fact that when it's low battery, it'll stop your music and play a recording of a woman with an asian accent saying "low battery, please charge". I always find this super jarring whenever it happens, and it happens kind of often because I never know what the battery's at. This was probably the biggest con. - About 6 months in, the bluetooth setting would occasionally have a hard time activating. - Now 12+ months in, the bluetooth setting has completely stopped working. Since I finally need a replacement, I'll be trying a different brand, but I would still recommend this speaker and would be happy to just buy another if the new brand doesn't work out. **UPDATE** I purchased a different brand and the radio reception sucked, so I'm just going to buy this one again. Godspeed.

I’ve had this awesome radio for a little over a month now and I couldn’t be more pleased with it. It sounds great and is very easy to use. It has many useful features as well for use in many different applications. And the cherry on top is that it’s well made too!

I have had one of these little radios in Cherry for some time (given to me as a gift). I ordered one a few days ago from Amazon, not realizing that the Walnut would be so very dark. I will be returning it, because I don't care for the very dark color. In real life, the walnut wood is darker than what is pictured here. I wrote to Greadio, hoping to be referred to a site where I could get the cherry color, as Amazon is all sold out. The rep, Lois, was very kind to search all over for me, but that color is sold out everywhere. I am hoping to get it in cherry from another company. it is a very good radio, and so cute. I want to get one for each of my sisters.

This Retro Bluetooth Speaker is the perfect mix of vintage charm and modern tech. The old-fashioned radio design looks fantastic on my desk, and had a strong bass and loud, clear sound. Bluetooth makes pairing quick and reliable, and the extra features—FM radio, TF card slot, and MP3 playback—make it even more versatile. I loved mine so much I bought another for our office Christmas White Elephant exchange, and it instantly became the most fought-over gift of the event.

De buen tamaño, producto estético y de calidad. La batería no dura demasiado pero cumple su función.

Everything is perfect but you need to take care regarding the radio size, It's not like the photos

حجمه مناسب

Es super pequeñita, la esperaba mas grande, pero el tamaño es ideal, super portatil. Para el trato que le he dado aventandola en mi mochila, no tiene ningun rayon ni desperfecto, asi que aguanta bastante. El color es bellisimo, los acabados dorados perfectos, todo se siente de calidad. La radio se puede sintonizar con la ruedita, como las clasicas. Y en cuanto a sonido, suena mejor que muchas bocinas de gran tamaño, sonido super alto y claro. Me encanto, ademas se ve bien aesthetic.

I've got to admit I was surprised how small it was, I should have read the ad but such a cute little thing that sounds great with a really decent volume and much better than I expected due to the size. Comes in a quality box and genuinely feels well built and solid. Can't really comment on the battery life as I've only just received it but I was impressed enough to order another one for my friend! Thanks
