J-170 Retro Vintage Radio

This was just what I was looking for. It has good sound and reception, is easy to tune, and easy to charge. A brief experiment on battery life - on a full charge I had it on for 30 hours and it was still going strong. Others have spoke about the lack of an indicator for when the battery is fully charged and I would agree that would be a nice to have feature. As it is, the unit has a small red light to indicate charging is happening but does not go off or change color to let you know. Although if you had one of those small power meters hooked up between your charging source and the unit, you could tell when it was full, but almost all of the small battery-powered devices have that function as part of the unit and I don't see why this radio does not have that. Oh well, one small nit-pick for an otherwise solid functioning and looking portable radio. I love mine!

This is a neat little unit. I use it as a Bluetooth receiver mainly. The sound quality is remarkable when paired with a turntable that has Bluetooth output. I'm running a medium tier record player and it sounds pretty darn good. A few putzy criticisms: I wish it just had a traditional power cord vs battery. It doesn't have an obvious signal that it is fully charged, the manual just says don't charge it for longer than a day. Finally, the USB port that most of us would use as a phone charger doesn't seem to work when the unit itself is charging. All that said I think it's stylish and works well for what it is. 🙂 An A- for a grade.

Haven't used it yet. So I don't know if the AM radio works (the principal reason why I purchased this) but even if it doesn't work I'd keep it just for the style, is wonderful, I just love it. Part 2: I just tried it out this week and the AM works perfectly fine. Also the battery life is not that bad, it last within 18-24 hours straight. I jus love this radio. I'm seriously thinking about purchasing other models from this same seller. I may add pics later on.

Very cool. It looks awesome. Just like an old radio. The speaker is great too. Works very very well. Can't go wrong for the money. There are a couple things that I'm nitpicking over but they don't effect the overall outcome of the radio. The materials used could be better, but for the price they're just fine. Also it'd be nice to have easier volume adjustment for Bluetooth from your phone, but it's not a big deal. Overall I highly recommend this.

Bought this for my brother who has a very specific aesthetic. Not only does this dohickey (which has functions that predate the both of us) function splendidly with its radio, Bluetooth, MP3 player abilities, it does so while keeping solid sound quality for all of the above! And it can get decently loud for a device roughly the size of a tissue box. For privacy reasons I won't post the pictures of this guy in it's home besides my brother's grandfather clock and singing fish, but! I can say with certainty that it 100% fits my brother's picky and specific and unusual aesthetic goals. 10/10, very very very happy with this purchase!!!

Great little radio to enjoy listening to outside on our deck. For such a small radio, the sound quality isn't all that bad. It doesn't sound "tinny" like I was afraid it would sound. Now for the description of "Rich Bass Stereo," that's a bit of a stretch. However, it has clear crisp sound. We don't need nor want a high wattage mega bass system on our deck to annoy the neighbors, so this radio is perfect for our needs. The Bluetooth connected to my cellphone easily. Perfect size for a tabletop and doesn't take up any real space. Very pleased with this purchase. Highly recommend this radio if you don't need thundering bass that blows a roof off. Good value.

I like the radio. I've only had it for a day and am happy with sound quality and looks. However, the pointer on the tuner scale is very difficult to see. I had to get a flash light in order to see where it was located. Traditionally, there is a light which illuminates the tuner scale in most radios. It would be sensible to put one in future models.

My grandson loved it. He really likes the retro look. Good purchase.

This is a cute radio. It is a much smaller version of the classic Telefunken Jubilate model. The bluetooth connected to my Samsung tablet right away and I was able to play my music library. The radio works really well. It is smaller than expected but looks great and has rich sound, something that being spoiled by great stereo equipment and FM radio stations in the 1970's I miss. It is stereo too. I would certainly buy it again.

I bought this radio for my work place and all our patients love it. They even bought it for themselves as well. Excellent radio, great quality and sound. I don't need to charge it often which allows you to move the location of where you want to put it. I bought this radio for myself and as gifts! Worth it 😊

This retro radio is very good for looks and sound quality. If I were to change one thing, it would be a 2 stage tuning knob - it is easy enough to tune with the friction in the tuning adjustment, so it would be unfair to reduce it to 4 star overall.

Beau petit radio rétro, seule chose la prise de charge devrait être à l'arrière à part sa c'est bien.

Great sound with good bass. Cordless with long lasting USB rechargeable battery. One suggestion for improvement: it would be nice if the red LED for charging goes green or turns off when the battery is full. This is the model J-170. I initially purchased the previous model J-120 (also from Pronus) which looked even nicer but had no bass at all so I returned it. If you want good sound with some bass, this is the one to get. It actually has an air exit hole at the back, like subwoofers do.
