Good value
A good choice for working on location. Fits into my toolbox and is small enough to keep close.

Great value
For a small Am/Fm radio it has really good tone. Reception is clear and stations are easily picked up.

Great find !
I was looking for a pocket sized AM/FM radio, and after researching multiple products and reviews, I decided on the R055B, and I'm glad I did. I found a great little radio for use while hiking, that has exceptional clarity and power, all at a great price. What a great find !

Bad radio
I bought this radio today to listen to a local radio station on am radio. I wasn't able find the station on the radio. The station dial is so small you can't tell what stations you are scanning.

That great GPX radio
I recently purchased the radio and i really like it, the sound is really good. I really like the convenience of plugging my headphones in and being able to listen to all my favorite stations while I'm doing other things with my GPX jamming in the background.

Best value radio
This radio is reminiscient of the old pocket transistor radios from the late 20th century. It's small and light and works great. And the fact it comes with earbuds is a plus. This would be perfect for an emergency kit or just an inexpensive alternative for portable entertainment. I recommend this radio. I might even get a second one.
