Tech Review

I liked this radio. It's small, but puts out a large sound with well-defined bass and crisp, bright highs. Hip-hop music escapes the speaker sounding close to studio perfect with only the most bass-heavy songs giving it some trouble.

It's small enough to carry comfortably and, unlike larger models, may be placed securely on a stool or, as in the video below, beside you on a couch.
