PRUNUS J-618 Portable Radio AM FM, Support Bluetooth Headphones Connection, Small Digital Radio with 2000mah Rechargeable Battery, Manual Preset/TF Card/Headphone Jack/Sleep Timer

Small radio, pocket sized.The feature I needed was Bluetooth for headphones.It works amazingly well.I work outside, and wanted to listen to the radio, but only use the left hand headphones as I need to listen out for cars.This is well made and very simple to use, I might even buy another one for home use, ITS THAT GOOD!!

It's a bit faffy to learn the operation modes. But once you get your head around it, it does a great job. Battery life is good and good connectivity to Bluetooth earbuds. I've used mine for 3 days at the Isle of man TT and battery is still showing 4 bars.

Brilliant portable radio. Fantastic sound quality for a portable radio. Battery life is exceptional. Plays for absolutely ages on a full charge. Connects very easily. Very impressed with this product

I purchased this little radio to use at work, as it easily fits in a pocket. I didn’t want to use up the data on my phone. I work as a cleaner, so I needed something that I could carry and was light enough.You can scan in radio stations and save. It has a lock system, which locks all the buttons so you don’t mistakenly change from your favourite radio station.This does not pick up international radio stations from abroad, nor ham radio etc. It only picks up the local main stations which is disappointing, but as it’s just for a few hours then that’s not a problem.I use my own headphones and the sound is good.The battery life is good, so far I’ve used it for 6 hours straight and not needed to recharge it.It’s a great little radio for those times when you do not want to use your phone, or something bigger.

Order a 'like new' version. Got a damaged beyond repair version!

The media could not be loaded. This is rather different than other portable radios I have tried over the years, with some very positive points and one clear let down. First of all, it has to be said that the sound quality is good; really good for such a portable radio and at this price. The clarity is excellent without becoming brash or distorted at higher volumes. Better still, I rarely needed to extend the aerial to obtain a good reception.It is also genuinely small and fits in my hand easily. I like the look, though I found it slightly unstable and too easily knocked over if touched. The LCD readout gives it a precise, modern feel, though I would have liked it if the display also indicated the name of the station.Having the ability to hook up Bluetooth headphones is a real bonus if you want that; then there is the TF option, though I don’t know how many would use that these days. Then there is a timer function that will turn off after a designated period.In use, it is not complicated, but neither is it immediately intuitive, and I really did need to read the instructions.The one big let down for me is the battery. In theory, having a rechargeable battery is great, but as it says on the sales page, it lasts between 6-10 hours between charges, which is hardly saying goodbye to battery life anxiety. I have a small portable radio in the kitchen that is less stylish, but a couple of AA batteries that last months. A better battery would have made this a 5 star radio.

This is a sturdy and compact radio. The sound quality and output is ideal for my needs: speech. I have found that a rare feature in personal radios is the ability to pair with Bluetooth earbuds and the J-618 does just that. So handy for listening to podcasts while moving about the house without lugging the laptop around, using the speaker or headphones. Battery life is reasonable considering Bluetooth consumption. A very useful product at an affordable price. Perhaps Prunus will consider a DAB/DAB+ version of the J-618.

The radio is excellent, particularly so the Blutooth headphone facility. Please do a version with DAB.
