Marvellous Music Machine

I really like the retro design of this radio because although it's made of plastic it has a beech wood finish with a metal grill over the speaker Looks are one thing but it is how the radio performs that is the important thing and before I tested it I would have to charge the radio. from a mains powered hub because you you don't get a charger with this radio. Once charged I pressed the mode button till it was in  clock mode then set the time and date then I extended the telescopic aerial went into FM radio mode and gave a lon press on the play/pause button to auto-scan for radio stations. One slight complaint is that once the stations are stored you can't remove any that you don't like, have a poor reception are a duplicated. 

With the stations stored I flicked through them and most of them were loud and clear through the mono speaker which has a good quality of sound with enough bass to stop the output from sounding tinny. The Bluetooth test was next and that went well too, connecting to my phone was easy and the sound quality was as good as the FM radio mode. Also when your phone is connected via Bluetooth it is possible to use he radio for hands-free calls as it has a built in microphone. I haven't tested this function on this device as I doubt I'll ever use it but I have on similar devices such as Bluetooth speakers/headphone and they've always worked well.

I then used the audio cable and connected my old MP3 player to this radio and was able to play my music with good quality audio once I found the best volume level to set my old MP3 player to. Finally I tested the MP3 playing function using both a USB flash drive and a micro SD card and that worked as expected playing back audio files with a similar quality to that of the FM radio and Bluetooth modes. As I said the sound quality was very good for a device with such a small speaker, definitely not tinny and with no distortion until it's at full volume.

THINGS I LIKED
The Design---------The retro look with the plastic wood effect
The Functionality - Playing audio from 5 different sources
Power Source-------It uses a built in rechargeable battery
Portability------------Weighs less than half a kilo .
Sound Quality------ Very good  for a small portable audio device

THINGS THAT I DISLIKED
Not being able to edit/remove stored radio stations.

Overall apart from one niggle I liked this ENUOSUMA FM radio with extra functionality and will be keeping it for my own use, for more information about this versatile audio device, including where it can be bought and it's current price please follow the link below:-
