Avantree Boombyte - Portable FM Radio and Bluetooth Speaker with Stereo

Purchased for an elderly relative. It has great sound for this price and size, and it’s very easy for him to use as the controls are simple, though it can be annoying to navigate to the channel you’re looking for. The seek function doesn’t work very well, so you have to move it up one channel at a time, but it worked fine for saving his favourite channels, and more importantly, it’s easy for him to listen to all of his music that’s been saved to a USB for him. I can also use Bluetooth to let him listen to his favourite DAB radio station. He loves the colour.

This bluetooth FM radio Boombyte is brilliant, the sound quality is way better than I thought with a good bass to it and it goes nice and loud, it is small and portable so go for at home use and also out and about use too. It also has a nice design and battery life is good, it doesn't take up much space in your home, shed or maybe greenhouse haha, it also will fit in a backpack very easily to take with you! I would definitely recommend!

Excellent

I have had Avantree products before and have found them very reliable with a very good after-sales / help service. In the past I have purchased their Avantree 850, which I found very useful and with the replaceable battery, the product lasts a long time. My biggest problem has been with its Bluetooth, which frankly, has only worked with my phone. What I wanted was to connect to my Internet radio's, which neither the 850, nor this Boombyte, would allow. Having checked with Avantree I now know that for a proper Bluetooth connection will only be with the Avantree Soundbyte T (I hope). I have therefore returned the Boombyte to Amazon and have ordered the T version. I could complain that the original adverts for the 850 and the Boombyte didn't make it clear about the Bluetooth limitation, but it may be that those in the know, will have realised it. I am not a techno phobe but I do need my hand held. I have given 4 stars only because of the Bluetooth issue. In all other respects, I would give it 5. What I will say is that this product is very well packaged.

Very happy with this MP3 player. Good sound. I mainly use it for audio books. I find the built-in software difficult to use for storing / selecting multiple audio books but, once listening to one, it is fine. And it starts at the point that you reached before switching it off, like a bookmark effectively, which is very useful for me. The only room for improvement is the built-in software. Also, excellent value for money.

Really good quality and easy to use

Great value for money. Looks study and the quality of the sound vs the version before (which only had a single speaker) is noticeably better. It does then in turn weight a little more but still easy enough for travel and although I haven't looked at it vs the original for battery I am sure it is good too!

Good size and portable

La verdad es que por su precio dificilmente se puede pedir más. Comenzando con lo positivo: - El aspecto es muy bueno, sólido, buen tacto y muy bien acabado. La caja en la que se presenta es espectacular y va muy bien protegido. - Altavoz Bluetooth - Manos libres que funciona bastante bien, lo he probado y se escucha nítido y la persona con la que hablo me escucha perfectamente. - En cuando al sonido, el volumen es muy alto. Lo he comparado con un Creative Sound Blaster Roar 2 y el volumen es práctimente el mismo, siempre que el Roar no esté conectado a la corriente (el volumen sube bastante). - Segun especificaciones tiene 2 x 7 W de potencia, pero no especifica si son RMS o de pico. - Tiene un ecualizador para la función BT que va muy bien (no lo he probado con tarjeta SD ni USB). - Radio FM muy fácil de utilizar con memorias directas. - Un cordel para transportar. - Estéreo. - Salida de auriculares, que por cierto todavía no he probado. - Reproduce música desde los puertos USB y micro SD que tampoco he probado. Ni creo que llegue a probar porque de hecho nunca utilizo estos puertos en altavoces Bt y menos si tiene radio. - La batería dura una eternidad, al menos con la radio que es lo que más utilizo. Después de 18 días de uso (0,5 a 2 horas diarias a 1/3 del volumen) todavía mantiene un 75% de la batería. Lo negativo: - El sonido es bastante bueno y con buenos bajos aunque no es comparable a un Roar (este aparato cuesta más del doble), pero a máximo volumen decepciona. Tiene 30 pasos de volumen, hasta 28 es bueno, pero cuando llegas al 29 o 30 mejor es bajarlo ya que dispara el volumen y no presenta buen sonido. Mejor bajarlo a 28. - La radio FM no tiene antena pero tiene buena recepción. La he comparado con una radio con antena y los canales con buena señal se oyen muy nítidos, pero cuando la señal no es buena se oyen más interferencias que con la radio con antena. - El ecualizador no está disponible para la radio. - El dial de volumen no está al nivel del resto del aparato en cuanto a tacto, va demasiado suave y se varía el volumen solo rozandolo. - Le hecho en falta una entrada AUX. - Como la mayoría de los altavoces BT solo dispone del códec básico SBC. En resumen creo que lo positivo compensa sobradamente lo negativo, teniendo en cuenta que lo he comparado con un SB Roar 2.

Voor zo een kleine radio een geweldig goed geluid met een aardige bas , deze is zijn geld dubbel en dwars waard.

bin sehr positiv überrascht,das kleine Ding sieht gut aus und ist wertig gebaut,der Klang ist echt annehmbar,Bluetooth sowie Mp3 von der SD-Card und Radio funktionieren gut. ich bin sehr zufrieden und kann eine Kaufempfehlung aussprechen.

Perfect radio to use at work as it has a separate large volume knob which makes it very easy and quick to change the volume when required without changing to the next track/file as always happens with other speakers that have combined volume & next/prev track buttons. Handy that you can easily change between radio and bluetooth playback by pressing a button. It always remembers the bluetooth connection and reconnects quickly every time. Perfect for use with iPad and it plays music, podcasts, youtube, etc and you can use the next/prev track buttons to move to the next song/podcast/video etc seamlessly - unless iPad has closed the app you were playing you just turn the radio back on and press Play and it continues from where it was up to. Analog FM radio with electronic tuning and favourite stations, so easy to flip between your fave stations and you never have tuning problems like you do with dial tuning. Doesn't have an antenna but the USB cable (USB C connector) you connect is the antenna if you have poor radio reception. Battery lasts for longer than they indicate, and charges via any USB A-USB C cable whether plugged into a wall outlet or a computer or other device.

Incredibile che cosí piccola esprima potenza pura!!! Ottimo prodotto!
