Retro Radio Review Extremely Pleasantly Surprised
I am genuinely shocked at the sound quality, and sheer volume of this thing. I haven't even cranked it up as loud as it'll go, but at maximum tolerable levels a few feet away, the quality was still great. It has an amazing amount of bass for something so tiny. The speaker is so beautiful and powerful. It’s small but perfect, the finish and the color are amazing. A radio AND Bluetooth both is just what I was looking for, the look is just fantastic. I would recommend it as a gift for anyone!

Big Let Down
Huge let down from what I thought I was purchasing. Is extremely hard to use and program. Not intuitive or user friendly at all. For some reason, it announces everything you do (power on, off, switch modes, etc.) at an obnoxiously loud level. No way could I expect my wife, kids, or guest to be able to use this without me maneuvering it for them. Is aesthetically pleasing while powered off and sitting there, but that's about it.

Cute but could be more useful
I've been debating whether or not to keep this. Pros: It's cute. The sound on the bluetooth speaker is solid. Cons: I thought the extra USB port on back could be a second charger for another device (like my Airpods), but apparently it is not. It's for playing back a USB stick with music or something. Disappointing. Also, the wireless charger isn't very speedy. And it has this weird blue light that illuminates my wall all night. It's not horrible, but what the heck? I didn't find this unit all that intuitive to use, either. I should send it back, but I'm lazy, and the bluetooth function works pretty well. I'm not blown away. But as I said, sound from speaker is suprisingly good.

Poor Tech and Overpriced vs Nice Aesthetic and Big Sound
UPDATE: After more than a year with this device, I have to emphatically rate this product lower. The pros and cons below remain the same, but I have to deduct a further star based on the awful design of the dials which make it almost impossible to select a radio channel. You have to gently push in a specific way up and down to get the right channel, but you always end up turning the device off and on, with the obnoxious robotic voice each time chiming in, "Bluetooth ON!!" or "Bluetooth OFF!!," frustrating you even further that you can't get the right channel without turning off the device or flipping through dozens of channels as it speedruns through the frequencies. Awful!PROS: the unit is actually very small, and thus quite portable and placeable anywhere in the house; the retro aesthetic is true to form and nice to look at; the volume sound is BIG for such a small device, and it can pump out jams with a lot of muscle --CONS: the programming on the unit leaves much to be desired; it is not intuitive in regard to changing and setting FM channels; the volume setting you like it set on is never fixed, and each time you turn it on, the volume level goes back to its default LOUD setting; the metallic ding and corresponding lady robot's voice that come on everything you turn on the device ("Bluetooth ON!" -- "FM ON!") is irritatingly loud, uncharismatically robotic, and thoroughly unnecessary -- she could be dialed back a few decibels or, even better, completely removed from the programmingWeighing the pros and cons, the cost of the device feels too high, and the device could be more sensibly priced, especially in relation to other similar devices that are priced lower and yet offer more user control over the volume and settings options.

Good speaker - No Alarm
Sound quality good and easy to use. Charger works fine. Nice retro look2 negatives… first, there is no alarm you can set on the device. Second, the pairing noise is VERY LOUD!

Great product!
I ordered this alarm clock for my 17 year old daughter and she is in LOVE! She loves the fact that not only does she now have a nice retro style alarm clock, but that she is also able to connect it to her phone via Bluetooth so she can access her own playlist. Connecting via Bluetooth was super easy. I am truly impressed by the overall quality of this product! Not only does it look great, the sound quality is exceptional as well!

Not good as advertised
The product is beautiful, but the induction charger is very slowly and weak, which takes forever for charge an iPhone. The USD exit doesn't work properly and there is no way to save an station. When you turn off the device, the watch also disappears from the screen which is not functional for an alarm clock, so if you weak up in the middle of the night, you have to grab you mobile to check the hour or turn on the radio.The sound quality is not very clear after a certain volume.
