Avantree BoomByte - Portable FM Radio & Bluetooth Speaker with Stereo Sound

Following-up: The Avantree Boombyte (Green color) is working flawless. I Bluetooth the speaker with my Hisense TV and I love the sound quality on the vocals. I recommend the SOFT equalizer settings for best voice for TV. I recommend CLASSICAL equalizer settings for MP3 SD card music. I purchased a second unit (Red color) for the bedroom. The red color is gorgeous. The red edition has a shine that I can not described. The red is the best color. The Bose Sound Mini Link is the gold standard for compact Bluetooth speakers. The big con on the Bose Sound Mini Link there is no FM Tuner, USB SD Memory Slot, and Micro SD Card Slot. The Bose bass response blows away all the compact speakers I’ve own, Antimi, Retekess V115, and Raddy RF320. The Antimi was my favorite because it is an “All-in-one” radio. The Antimi sound was okay but lack adequate bass response. The Raddy RF320 has decent bass response but it has only one passive radiator speaker. There is no stereo music coming from the single passive radiator speaker. The Raddy RF320 is not a portable. I am retired and have a lot of time to research for a compact radio that is “All-in-one” with stereo speakers and good bass response. I order the Avantree Boombyte on Amazon. Holy Moly! I found the holy grail of “All-in-one” compact portable STEREO radio. The radio is made with high quality material. The radio feels premium. There are two passive radiator speakers for STEREO listening. The unit can play 17 hours with a full charge. The FM tuner reception is good and strong. The big pro is the bass response and the power output from the amplifier. I am blown away with the bass on the Avantree Boombyte. The price is justify for the quality and features for a STEREO radio. This is an “All-in-one radio” with STEREO and good bass response in a compact design. You will not be disappointed. Happy listening.

First of all let me start off by saying I love a great sounding speaker. Like a couple review have said I am always going to look for the speaker that gives me the best bang for my buck. I have had the antimi speaker for a couple years now because it sounds good for what it is and the battery life is fantastic and also very portable. I use to take it everywhere I go. For whatever reason last night I went on Amazon to see what is out there as to be honest the Antimi battery life was deteriorating. I no longer get 100 percent when I plug it out (I had the Antimi for at least two years) I came by this speaker with a 4.7 review. That's the highest rating I've seen in a speaker ( the Antimi is around 4.3). After reading through the specs I decided to give it a try cause what really could go wrong. I was right nothing went wrong. I ordered it last night and it came the following day mid afternoon. As soon as it arrives I immediately paired it and stacked it against the Antimi. It is slightly bigger than the Antimi. The bass on this thing made my eyes bulge. To put things in context the Antimi is 6 watts this is 14 watts. They sound pretty similar overall very good mid and highs from both. this speaker puts out the low-end and it makes it overall a more attractive speaker. It is also quite a bit louder and fuller at max volume. Where it leaves the Antimi in the dust tho is that you can save up to 10 fm channels and it has a eq setting in the Bluetooth mode where you can customize the sound. One thing I was wondering about was the blue screen light and it it would be a nuisance at night but the light turns of after about 30 seconds so no worries there. Overall it was a great spontaneous decision which paid off. I love my Antimi but this is clearly a superior speaker. P.s this speaker has a 4000 mah battery that's double the Antimi. Cheers 🥂🥂

I write very few reviews. It's got to be something that really impresses me one way or another. I was unfamiliar with Avantree, but they offer random/shuffle mp3 play on their products, which was essential for me. I assumed they were just another anonymous Chinese brand focused on price point. And really, this thing didn't have to be great for what I paid for it. I was wrong. It's a sweet little player with some real thought and design in it. First off, it's a lot of watts for its size, and you can definitely hear them. They engineered the speakers and vent ports perfectly. Setting it 6-8" in front of a wall will throw impressive, true bass to a full room. It's acoustically amazing for its petite size. There are a few fixed equalizer settings and a utilitarian looking, yet fully featured LCD screen. Easy to wake it and see what you're listening to, be it mp3, radio, or bluetooth. The rotary power/volume control is sublime, saving the fuss with finding a rubber button. The rest of the buttons are convenient for choosing source, mp3 tracks, radio frequencies, and settings, but reading the short, well written manual one time is a must to make sense of it. Radio reception is incredible out of the box, but I'm urban. A usb charging cable can be used as a long distance antenna if needed. Battery performance is very good so far. The case is attractive and reasonably stout. But it's painted and corners will surely wear over time. I once chatted with their pleasant customer service team and can attest to their prompt support. Overall, I'm blown away with this little gem. Enough so that I bought its big brother, the Powerbyte, shortly after, which is also in a class of its own. 5 stars absolutely for this one.

Its is a good little radio...we bought this for when we go to the lake. The sound is awesome but has issues with receiving clarity in regards to getting FM radio stations to tune in. It does work great with your phone if you using Amazon Music, Spotify, et.

I'm pretty pleased with this radio. The FM reception is excellent despite it not having an external antenna. The sound quality out of such a small radio is quite impressive -- lots of bass, but not at the expense of decently clear mid and upper ranges. It's easy to set up, and the 9 storable station presets are handy to have. I like that you can directly enter a station by entering the frequency without having to use the seek button. I've not used it as a speaker with an SD card so I can't speak to how well that works, but as a portable radio it has been performing very well. There are a few irritations, however. The on/off button also is the volume control, which is not convenient. I would have much preferred a separate on/off switch. The on/off/volume knob doesn't have a good feel to it. Having clicks or indents would have been nice. While setting up the station presets is simple, using them can be a bit annoying. If the screen is off, the first press of the preset button wakes up the screen. You then have to press the preset button again to change the station. There's also a delay of a couple of seconds from the time you press the preset and when the station changes. It does this since the keypad is also used to direct enter a frequency, so the radio has to pause to determine if you want a preset or if you're entering a frequency. But all of these issues are secondary to the fact that it pulls in stations great, sounds fantastic, and has great battery life. I'm happy with the purchase -- 4.5 stars

Really enjoying the FM radio. As a Bluetooth speaker, when connected to my iPhone, volume is lacking. So would not recommend it if that’s a major feature you want.

Of the many small portable mono and stereo radios I've owned since the 60's this BoomByte has the best sound quality, battery life and function. I'm a simi audiophile who enjoys music almost anywhere, especially outdoors. My last small portable was a Melson S8 which had nice mono sound but finally died as the push buttons slowly became erratic. It's final demise was when it's old mini usb power connector broke off inside. I have others but their sound quality just doesn't cut it. The reviews on this Avantree Boombyte intrigued me enough to buy and I'm not disappointed at all. For it's small handheld size it packs some quality stereo sound. It's not a funky loud boombox. It's a nice little handheld personal Stereo with just the right amount of mp3 information displayed on its small screen. I couldn't find a user photo of the screen displaying the MicroSD MP3 info so I've included one here. Another must have for me is a good Random/Shuffle function. I only wish there was a dedicated button for it instead of having to open the menu and change selections with multiple choices. I arrange my favorite MP3's in alphabetic order by Artist name hyphen Song. When on my usual Random play and wish to hear another song from the same Artist I typically take it out of random then go back or forward to the Artist's song I wish to hear. A separate normal/random or programmable button would be fantastic. Frankly I would trade the FM button for it any day. Just have FM cycle through the "Mode" button. ex BT/FM/MP3 and make the dedicated FM button MP3 Random on/off! Photo from top to bottom: MicroSD symbol - Current song number with Total songs below - Random play Folder - ROOT or other if split into folders. Music Note Symbol - Scrolling file name left to right Play/Pause Symbol - Current track time hyphen / Total track time One final mention. If your songs, like mine, are generally at different volume levels causing a constant volume adjustment change between songs use a tool (program) such as freeware "MP3Gain" to equalize all of your music prior to copying to the microSD card. Speaking of, I'm using a Samsung 64GB exFAT card but have not tried over 32 GB of songs as I don't have that much in MP3. I also don't relish the though of re-ripping all of my CD's. One last mention. The built-in lithium battery is amazing! 2-3 days for my playing needs. FWIW it does charge at 3.1A on my multi USB charger (usb3 to usb3) which displays current draw. I'm using a certified 1.5' USB 3.2 cable if that matters. All in I'm thrilled with this little audio MP3 player. BT and FM which I rarely use work great also. The FM, with no external antenna autotunes fantastic in our rural location. It's a little more expensive than some others but IMHO worth the difference in quality.

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.

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.
