I like it because it fits nicely in your pockets and the sound quality is decent

Definitely well worth the price. Flawless performance over the 1st 6 months of use. My mother is 94 years old, wheel chair bound, very hard of hearing, and essentially blind from macular degeneration. She lives in an assisted living facility where multiple times a day she will wheel herself outside to a shady courtyard - after breakfast, lunch, and dinner - and have a cigarette. Yes - 94 and still smoking! Her lament is that in the post Covid world the assisted living facility has told her that the courtyard is the only place on the facility grounds that she may go for a cigarettte - which also happens to be very isolated and lonely. She misses the occasional interaction with friendly passers-by, the shadowy sights and sounds of cars coming and going and in general anything in her environment to break the quiet boredom of isolation.

This is where the transistor radio comes into the picture. She said being all alone in that courtyard might not be so bad if she at least had a radio to listen to. The transistor radio from Vondior fits nicely in her purse. I equipped it with a set of ear buds/ear phones which are always jacked in and just wound around the radio when not in use. I tuned in her favorite talk radio station and then duck taped the tuning dial in place so it wouldn't get bumped out of tune inadvertently. She never has to extend the antenna (excellent reception) so it stays in its slot along side the radio. All she has to do is unwind the earbuds and insert them in her ears and slowly manipulate the thumb dialed on-off/volume control. There is a crisp click when it's turned on followed by a smooth increase in volume. Using the earbuds permits a lower volume level and spares the batteries. They have a only been replaced once in the last 6 months because she didn't turn it off completely after using it one day.

I cannot begin to describe the absolute joy and sense of empowerment this has bought my mom. I've lost count of the number of times she has thanked me for the effect it has had on her quality of life! I have ordered a 2nd transistor radio identical to the first which we will dial into her favorite Country&Western music station and again duck tape it in place so it stays in tune. She will also keep in her purse along side the 1st one. The 2nd radio will be a different color - and she can then choose to listen to talk radio or music on any given day! She's so excited about the 2nd one! That such a simple gift can have so incredible an impact on a persons life is itself incredible and humbling.

Well, this was a gift ordered for a special person, and I haven't received any feedback. I hope they are enjoying it.

Was a gift and the recipient said it's terrific!
