The device has a nice appearance. It works in two power modes: either only from the main power or only from batteries. If you connect it to the main power without removing the batteries, it will work, but the batteries will fail, since there is always a voltage of 6.8 V on the battery compartment terminals when the device is connected to the main power. The manufacturer's technical support confirmed the absence of a charging module for the battery. Power consumption when powered from a DC power in 5 V: maximum 0.908 A, minimum 0.124 A. Inside the case there are 2 speakers of 3 W, 4 Ohm. The quality of the speakers is average. The range of reproduced frequencies is medium and high, there are no low frequencies. In the FM range reception mode, the receiver has good power, it works even with the folded antenna. The WiFi antenna is also quite powerful. The instructions lack characteristics for frequencies, loads and a description of all the icons on the display. The settings are not complicated, I figured it out quickly. There is enough space inside the case to install a 10A*h power bank, which I did.

Are you hearing the same songs on every station in town? Same old stuff that hasn't changed in 20 or more years. Did you used to search for radio at night to pick up something different from farther away than you could drive, or maybe a shortwave fan. If you haven't discovered internet radio yet then I'd say this radio is a great way to start.Search the world at your fingertips. Easy and intuitive to use. Setup was way easier than I even planned for and within minutes I was chasing stations like my teen years. There's even an app, UNDOK, even though it's not mentioned anywhere. Hooks you up with an alternative app called Oktiv but it appears to be supplementary and I've been primarily using UNDOK for my "remote". I had been searching for weeks for the right radio up and down the price spectrum. I have a decent audio system and amp so I needed something with an audio out option and this radio checked all the boxes especially since I wasn't willing to dish out for ultra premium audiophile wet dream. To that, it's been a dream to use and the best purchase I've made in quite some time.Build quality is good and doesn't feel ultra cheap. Sound on it's own is about what you'd expect from a portable radio in the 70s before boom boxes became the thing. It's more suited to being hooked up to an amp for the best output. As previously stated controls are intuitive. I was worried I wouldn't be able to find the stations on my want list but I was adding favorites in less than 5 minutes. I haven't met the threshold of 30 saved stations but it is the one wall I see hitting first. 100 would be nice but I'm guessing it's a hardware limit.Since I live in the US the DAB radio isn't even an option. I don't mind as the radio is meant to be internet anyway. Haven't tried over the air FM for the same reason.All in all this is a great starter radio for a service many probably don't realize is available outside of Sirius radio. Worth the buy.

I waited 7 months to write this review as I wanted to give the radio a fair trial. I was somewhat reluctant to buy it in the first place given the number of negative reviews. I previously had a Sangean WFR-28 internet radio (since 2015). That one worked okay, but had many quirks - mainly freezing and needing rebooting 2 or 3 times a week. I was forced to buy a new radio when the BBC stopped supporting their older internet streams - BBC radio 4 is the station I listen to most - so spoken word rather than music. The software for this LEMEGA radio seems to be an updated version of that on the Sangean. However, although it very occasionally crashes it is not nearly such a problem. It is also more compact and easier to set up. Considering the price I think the LEMEGA radio is a good deal.

This is my second one of these radios. On my first one the inside part of the power plug that attaches to the circuit board broke off when I tried to plug the power USB in again. I had only had the radio about two months at that time. For a portable unit, it is surprisingly fragile in the plug area. To the manufacturer's credit, they quickly refunded the purchase price. I did like the internet radio feature and decided to get a second one and us it only as a bed side radio/alarm so I didn't need to worry about the plug. It was fine for a while but then a few months later trouble started. Randomly it started having connection issues to the internet radio, and even stranger time issues. Like you would look and see that the time was very wrong and moving very slowly. I timed it a few times and it would take about 15min of actual time for the time on the clock to advance one minute. I've had this happen in the middle of the night when I needed the alarm for work in the morning. Obviously a clock you can't even trust the time on is very much frustrating and useless. If you unplug it, it will sometimes work fine for weeks or months, but just this weekend, power-cycling only fixed it for a day before it started it's slow motion time bug again. I did contact the manufacturer when the problem first started, but this time they didn't even respond. At this point I can't rely on this clock because I can't trust it to keep keeping time. If you just want a radio, this might be okay, but buy at your own risk.

The audio quality is good and the small size is OK. Set up was made complicated as it would not connect with the 5.8 Ghz side of my dual band router. The 2.4 Ghz side worked fine.The blue tooth and FM work fine. My main issue is that I can not turn it on till I unplug it from power to re boot it, then it works fine. I suspect that it has a firmware glitch and needs to be updated. This is disappointing as otherwise it's perfect for my night stand.
